I put one in my 65 LeMans without issue, I do not know the overall width difference between the 8.5 and 8.2 as it was a couple years ago but no interference issues rims are 17x8 4.5" BS and tires are 245/45/17 which is 25.8" dia pretty close to the stock wheel/tire diameter. I could fit a 255 not so sure about a 275 but with a 5" BS wheel it would open up more tire options.
