You'll be going from a tire that's 24.75" tall to a 28" tall tire that's a lot wider.
I have a pair of 275/60-15s on the back of my GTO. It was a tight squeeze, getting them to fit back there took a custom-made wheel with just the right backspacing.
I see possible fender interference issues in the rear and especially so in the front (you didn't mention if you were using just 2 or all 4 tires), not to mention your speedo calibration will be off by 12% (reading slower, miles will tick off slower too).
It wouldn't be a big deal to get one mounted up and then try it on the rear to see if it fits.Bart F.
