Default Bigger than 255 on 8.5"?

Anyone have any luck putting 265 or 275 tire on an 8.5 wide rim? I know the stats but wondering of the possibilities. Got a good deal on 19x8.5 before I bought the Camaro that will still fit it. I was thinking KDW 2s.

There is a guy on LS2.com that has 275s on the rear of his 18x8.5s and 265s up front

265's would work 275's might be pushing it.
