Try them out. They will fit fine, and you can put a 275 in the rear on an 8.5 wheel, and run a 245 in the front. It will give it the appearance of a staggered setup. Then go from there. If you don't like it, space them out just a little. Although there's not much of a lip, they are pretty sweet.

a plausible solution; i am very wary however of running 275 series tires on an 8.5" wide wheel

Find a pair of BBS with an aggressive fitment for the rears.

you can do it easy. it wont look "stretched", but it will look beefy for sure.

i run 245's on a 7.5" wheel, and the tire is pretty much straight vertical.
no stretch, no overhang. Yes i know my wheels are too skinny but I am saving up for the real deal. function over form right now for me. light and wide.
