Default Tire Question

I just wanted to make sure that you can run 275 tires on my stock rims upfront. I just wanted to double check before i ordered them. Also i am going with the Kumho ECSTA MX, so let me know what you think if you would. Thanks

Mark,
I have Kumho Ecsta MX 275/40-17 up front on my stock rims and have run them cross country, and on the track in the dry and wet with no problems. Good tire at a reasonable price.
