Default my rears hit the upright and the fender at times, so I think you would have to flare a decent amount
I am running 17x9 with 245... I have run 255s too. If there are 3 people in the car, it can rub. My upright is polished from rubbing, and sometimes it hits the fender too. Nothing crazy but they can touch.

9.5... if you did a stretch job on the tire (like a 245 maybe 235) and ran low low profile... but 275s would be tough. Oh, and if they are off a benz your rear offset is going to be not gooder.

Default Fender rolling:
Most people only have to roll the fronts:

Other option is to go with OEM RS4 widebody parts.

rolling isn't going to help fit 275s. He's going to need to pull/flare the fenders out aka ghetto WB
