Default Will 17x10.5s fit all around w/ 275/40/17s?

I have searched and read the sticky, but....

Could I run 17x10.5s w 44 mm offset front and back on a 02 Z28 if I stay w/ a 275/40/17? I don't want to BFH or grind on the car if I can help it. The sticky says 10s will fit, but I wonder if 10.5s could as long as the tire was only a 275. My dilemma is that the rims I want (bullit repos) come only in 17x9 (45 offset) or 17x10.5 (44 offset). I was hoping to get 9.5s, and want to stay w 275 for the price and ease. I want same all around so I can still rotate.

i have 10.5s on the front of my car with 275s... the tire is a little streched, but it doesn't look bad at all.

Could you send me pics of your 10.5s w 275s, and do you by chance remember the offset?

In my honest opinion there is no point in running a 10.5" wide wheel with a 275 series tire. The tire will look narrower than the wheel.

My personal choice would be to run the 9" wheels with a 275. The 45 mm offset is very nice and will look great on all four corners.
