if your lowering your car and depending on how much you plan on dropping it you would have to reduce your side wall size. i ran into this problem when lowering my M3 I used wider tires with the correct sidewall size for the oem specs. But when i lowered the car the tires rubbed the fender wells because the side walls where too high for the amount i dropped the car....

i dont see any problem running a 275 without rolling your fenders. They should fit fine as long as you have the correct offset of rims. My friend had a 295 with no rubbing no mods to the fender wells. I have seen 305's also but those he needed to remove some of the fender linner and did need to roll the rears.

A couple of things ....
Your fenders should already be rolled just like on the 07 Sedan.
If I can get 285 on my sedan, you you should be able to do it too, so 275 should be EASY.
Keep in mind that the suspension geometry actually moves the wheel/tire INBOARD when the car is lowered. The more you lower it (e.g. with Sportlines), the more the tire moves inboard. Your wheels may not look like they fit now, but it will look better when it is lowered ... EXCEPT in your case because +15mm offset on a 10" would be tough even for an early model coupe.
