They won't rub. 275/45/17 is the factory size for the WS6 TA.

No adjustment needed. The 275's are the same height as the 245's, 16 vs 17. They will fit perfect. I changed from the 16's to the 17's about 10 years ago.

The 275's are .08% difference in height, which is .1 mph at 60 mph

275/40R17 works great. What tire are you planning to go with?
