Here's the site I found that said, yes they'll fit but that seems like a huge bump.

I have run 255 x 18's in front with a Dunlop Z1, and 285 x 18's in rear with a Hoosier A6 (obviously not at the same time). However, on stock wheel width's, I would expect a 255 and a 275 would be beyond the tire manufacturer's recommended width, so the tire profile would not be ideal.
Take a look at the recommended wheel widths in the specifications tables on tirerack.com. In my experience you don't want to go much beyond the tire manufacturer's recommended wheel width.
