Is anyone running a tire this big on an 05?

Any rubbing issues? It's a 275/60/17

The OD at an inch over stock isn't a concern. It's the width of the tire and weight that worries me. I know 255s have worked.
What's the spec of the rims?
Weight is 9 lbs more per tire over stock. That will not only stress shocks steering CV joints etc but it will make accelerating slower and braking longer.

The Rims are OEM Acura TL's. Same one's Borg was running on his but he had the 255/60's. Don't know what they weigh.

Thanks, those are the pics that convinced me to do the 17 TL wheels. I think I found my tires. Will post pics when I get them.
