225s up front should be no big deal. 275s will fit in the rear as well but rubbing depends on how much, if any, the car is lowered and how stiff the suspension setup is. I'd be more concerned with putting a 275 on a 7.5" rim as that's really pushing it and may end up deforming the tire enough to hurt performance.

275's will likely put no more rubber on the ground then the 245's simply due to wheel size. For instance. 225/50 14's on a 9 inch wide wheel are actually a tick wider then the 245/45 16's on an 8.5 inch wheel on our miata. Also your gearing is going to be a good amount taller.
I also wonder if the front to rear diameter Bias will screw with the ABS.

275s would really have me backing off...

275 with stock rims, I dont know. And dont worry about rubbing suspension parts because there are quite a lot of space inside. I think you will hit your bumper and fender before any other parts of your S.
I am running 245 on rear with 9.5J offset +41 and I had to cut some part of my bumper and bend my fenders to fit them in.
Personally, I think 275 for rear will slow your car down, too much friction unless yours is S is boosted!
