Hey Mubarark how's life across the pond. Are you sure the width of your rim is 8" I believe stock 17" rims are 9" if they are 8" then the 275's might be too wide. On a 9" wide rim 275's are about the widest and on a 8" I think they won't fit. I'm not sure but the tire manufacturer might have the information you need. I'd call a tire shop or a performance shop that sells rims and ask if they have a guide to help answer your questions.
