I looked up your car at Discount tire. Out of all the recommended optional sizes, anything over the size you are currently using would require a wider wheel.

275/40's is the widest optional size (requiring a wider wheel), I can't tell you if it would rub, that's just what they recommend.

255/45-17 is the largest we list for your car. 

275-40 won't fit on your 8" wheel
