I think the 275's will fit as 265 is factory in Z06 width. So I don't think you would have problems, but don't quote me on it.

I'm running 275/40-17 because I couldn't get a matched set of 265/295 in a reasonably priced tire. I've had no problems!

BTW - mine are General Exclaim UHP 275/40/17 & 295/35/18
