Shows your only changing the Width of the tire and not the Diameter. For towing capacity and safety, youd be better off keeping the stock width, of 275/ and just changing the Sidewall Hieght(changing ratio) /55R17 or /50R17. If thats what your are trying to get at?

Helpful RR chart on the second link, talks more about width of the tire.
