For the stock rims - does going from 245mm to 275mm tires require an extra offset?

to OP, offset has nothing to do with suitable tire width, you major concern is the wheel width

exactly, they're very good in my opinion, I literally abused them in every single way if they could hire a lawyer I'd be in jail by now lol
only reason people go for a different brand because they're better priced
