It'll fit, but I didn't like the way the back end "wobbled" when cornering hard. I had 315 555R's on my 10th anniversary wheels.

these are really good tires especially for the price. I always liked the look of a 255/40/17 on front and either 275/40/17 or a 315/35/17 on the rear. Personally I liked the 315 better than the 275 on my cobra when I had the 17x9 wheels since the nitto DRs run narrow the 315 is only about as wide as a normal 275 like BFG. If you like taking corners hard like Jeanyus was talking about you may want to stick with the 275 but I never really noticed it with my car. But now this is assuming you want DRs, if you are going all 555's then just do the 275 on the rear.
