they will fit, but whether or not you will actually use the entire tread with is questionable. When you squeeze a tire on a rim it pushes the center of the tread outwards. This can be corrected slightly by letting more air out of the tire, but then it gets dangerous. I've seen 315s on stock WS6 wheels. (retarded) There was about an inch of shoulder on either side of the tire that was almost untouched. only the center section of the tire was worn.

you could use them IF the sidewall was bigger but 45 is not enough. So therefore no, because youd need like a 28" tall tire or more.

275's will fit on 16x8 in rim-no, 15x8 in rim- yes.
