Default 275 tyres on ET35 Wheels

Looking at buying some new tyres for my S8.
Wheels are 19x9 ET35 RS6 C5 (genuine)

I was going to go with 255/45x19's.

There will be quite straight walled on 9" rims, so I'm considering if 275/40x19's will fit within the guards?

Has anyone tried 275's with a 35 offset on a D2? Got photos? Not concerned about wheel width, just the offset.

I've seen Nakata's thread with the ET29, which is giving me doubts as they look a little wide and look like they might hit the guards.
That's why I'd like to see photos if anyone's done it.

- has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!
