I've "heard" you can put a 275 on the 8" OEM wheels.

The drawback to putting too wide of a tire on is that the tire will be squeezed in at the rim. As a result, tread may not lay flat and be slightly rounded.

Another drawback with wider is that the aspect ratio is never exactly the same as an OEN fitment and the spedometer will be off.

I'm running 245/40 and with that, I'm only off by 1 MPH at 60 MPH.
