Default Cut springs 275 X 17 will they fit

Lemons car again,
Ok guys, we are trying to improve our braking and handling by going to a wider tire. Right now we run 225 40 16 azenis, and just picked up some 17X9.5 inch mustang cobra rims. So if we went all out and put on the falken azenis 275 40 17, with 1 turn cut off the stock springs - will I have enough clearance - (no spacers allowed BTW)

I'm hoping someone knows for sure, nothing worse than dropping 800 bucks for tires, showing up at the track, and not beinga able to run the tires because they are rubbing. So hopefully someone is running the same or similar setup, or tried it, and can give me the thumbs up or down!

I'm doubtful but I don't know for sure. Not knowing the offsets of those rims I'd try asking what the folks in that SM thread are running and what their clearances are like. I'd bet they're almost all lowered.
