It will fit fine. I run 38 mm offset 9.5" wide wheels with 275's. So the 1/2" that your wheel is narrower, meaning a 1/4" ( = 6.3 mm ) on each side of center line, then with the wheel moving outwards 2 mm compared to mine, all will look great. Technically the wheel face of your wheel will move inwards 4.3 mm compared to my 9.5" wheels.

Now if you are lowered the rear axle will need to be centered to avoid contacting the wheel well lip, and the front tire, may ever so slightly rub the black plastic wheel well liner at full tun, but that is no problem.
