You shouldn't have a problem with them. Should you have a little contact, you can reverse the quad shocks. Take them off and turn them around. This will put the large area of the shock body in a different position, giving the tire about an inch more of clearance. But a 275 should fit on there.

I agree with Eagle about flipping the Quads, but if you still have problems it can be with your Axle Length or the Backspacing on the Wheels, good luck with your Car!

I had 275/17/40 on all 4 with the stock 8" rim and no problems. I do think that is too wide for an 8" rim though. A 9" rim you will have no problems.
