Ok then you should be ok if that moved brakes out 1/3 to 1/2 inch. Still alittle tight but may work. I have 8.5" wide fronts but 56mm offset so backspacing is similar to you. I run c5 brakes and a 1.7" adapter with 255 tires and clears well. Sits in nice. Full lock doesnt rub unless suspension travels like in a bump situation and i am lowered in front pretty low.
275's sitting in closer will likely rub abit more. 1.5" spacer likely be a better idea if you dont have adapters yet
