I have 255/40/17's in the front right now and am not even close to hitting anything. 275 is simply the next step up and the sidewall shouldn't be more than 5-10mm taller anyways. Now if I missed the point and we are talking about 18's then 40's are absolutely too tall. I don't even know why anyone would consider 275/40/18's though, OBVIOUSLY too tall there.
