    I think 255 is the widest tire most tire places will put on.

    ETA: I have read on the WWW of people with 8" rims getting 275's, but they either had to mount them themselves or go to a hole in the wall tire shop.
    Results are "mixed"

    I’m pretty sure your wheels are only 8” wide not 8.5”

    I’ve seen 275’s mounted on 8” wheels and it bulges

    Yep. I ran 275/40/20 on my stock chrome clad 20x8 wheels for a solid year with no issues and I'm lowered. It threw my ESP off for a couple of months during hard corners. After that it was all good.
