I have 275-40-17's on all four corners. You lose the wheelwell lip, and you are ok there. Exhaust want an issue cause I have side-exit, and the custom rear suspension didnt require quads.
You are about at the limit right now.

How did you get the 275's to fit up front? Can you turn left/right ALL the way?
