They do make a 275-40-17 and it will fit no problem.Try here, they have a pretty good price and Im sure there are a few other places that have good deals.

Ok, the smaller wheel is to have the same size tire(there abouts) but a taller sidewall. The more sidewall meat you have, the more you can drop pressure and have more to dig in. A short little 35 or 40 series sidewall wont flex as much as a 45 or 50 or 60 series. Its all about traction.
