I know this will cause a tear around here, but will they fit stock and lowered? Might have to sell my Octastars.

In the rear with a wheel lip roll but I doubt the front. 255 max up there.

Let others opine.

What's the offset?

40mm

How wide a rim?

I have 265/40/18s on 9.5s with 36mm offset all around.

40mm with a 9 wide MIGHT work. Rolling the lip in back will be needed and you'll get some rubbing up front for sure when you get close to full turn cause mine do, not real bad, but the 275 is a smidge taller so it'll be worse.

I was looking at 8.5" wide rims, but if there are rubbing issues I'll go with 245's or 255's. Thanks much guys.

I have 275 all the way around with 9" rims. The only rubbing issue I have is with the right rear and its only when I'm lowered going 80+ and hit a bump.
