A 9.5" is still not really wide enough for a 275 so it's a bit of a waste in that sense. But don't bother with a 17x9 +45, there are already several inexpensive options available in that size, either go higher offset (48 is good but I think really more like 52 would make the most sense seeing as the 9.5 is +63) to make it properly fit the rear or don't bother IMO.

Also where/ what are all these17x9 +45 options you speak of, in 5x120 and correct hub diameter? I'd love to hear. Most options are +42 offset or less.
