The front should be fine, but I think that 275mm tires on the rear of a 8" tire is pushing it. A 255mm tire would be perfect, but you may be able to get away with a 265mm.

For the fronts, 235mm would be your best bet.

They will fit...but will look funny 'cause the tire will be wider than the wheels.

Some people like that because it will help protect you from curbing if you have problems parallel parking.

But, performance-wise & looks-wise it will not be as good as proper tire-to-wheel width ratio.

Like VODKA said...for the front (8 inch), 235 would be best. For the rear (8.5 inch), 255 would be best.

How come you didn't just get the same size as stock? Thats my only question...

Hope it all works out okay! ^-^
