275/40/17 on a 17x8? is it okay?

joes68340s asked for a head on picture of the 17x8 5.6" backspacing rims with 275/40/17 tires on my barracuda. I had to roll/bend the front bottom fender lip to get these to fit. I did a 8"x 1.5" bend. Plenty of room at 1.5" clearance, but I may run a final rim with a little less backspace.

But please note the pictures below are with front fender lip bottom bent back
