Anyone running 275 65 17 tires on 17inch factory rims?

Hey guys, Im thinking of replacing factory 265 65 17 General Grabbers with something slightly wider in 275 65 17 size. Does anyone uses this size tire of stock 17 inch rims? Any pics by any chance? Any cons going with wider tires aside more rolling resistance and hence lower MPG?

I had the 275-65-17 on the OE rims befor I switched to aftermarket wheels, and the tires were just fine, looked just as good as aftermarket wheels. The 275-65 tires fit just fine no probs. I actually like the look of a fatter tire on the Pathy. and the wheelwell gets filled up a little more with more rubber. :wink:
