The right thing to do is to not vary any or much from what's recommended. Google 'rim width for tire size' or something.

265 is suggested as max. But going to a 275 I don't think will hurt. I know lots of people with 315's on the stock ss 9" rim. I have had no problems with my 305's on stock 9"ss rim. |

Max-acceptable 265/xx's are going to feel a bit soft-responding and less precise, and 275's would be worse still. Even 255/xx wouldn't feel any better than what you've got now (245/45 on 8" wide rims?). A case of the looks promising more but delivering less in anything remotely resembling normal street driving . . . not exactly a win-win Norm
