well, stock tires are 8" wide, with 225 tires. They can fit up to 245 wide tires. Your rim is 9" wide, and 275's are 3cm wider than 245. 1" = about 2.5 cm. So its like fitting 250 wide tires on the stock rim. I should work, but im not 100% sure. I know they fit 9.5's easily.

i don't think you can fit that much tire up in the front. what are you going to be using this car for? i think there is someone on this forum who runs 275's front but i still think you are going to get some serious rubbing issues. if this is going to be a daily driver i would avoid going that big on the front. many people fit the 275 rear with offsets of about mid-30's or more so i think you will be fine there

i would also really avoid going with the absolute minimum rim width to fit that tire. unless your pressures are just right i think you are going to wear out the centers of your tread much faster than the edges

just my $.02
