I worked at costco in the tire department for a while. They are hardcore, if the size isn't stock they don't put it on period. There was so much stuff that you had to do so their a$$ was covered.

You need to find another place to install them. Walmart is the same way. My girlfriend had my wheels (99 Z28) on her car (01 WS6). They wouldn't mount any tire on my 16 inch wheels because the WS6 didn't come with them. Said "they won't work on this high performance WS6 car".
She had to go home and swap them over to my car and go back. Her's runs 12's.......mine runs 10's but hers was the "high performance" one.

As far as tire size...the 275's will be fine.
