The centerlines will work just fine on a 245/40/20 tire. Hankook makes a nice one. The only way you are going to get a wheel/tire combo that works with a "big" tire (275/45/20 max) on a 4/6 is by going to a custom made billet wheel with custom backspacing. You'll need 6" on a 8.5" wide wheel. Billet Specialties, Budnik, Bonspeed, Intro, and Boyd Coddington are a few examples of manufactures of these custom wheels.
You can always get some more centerlines and buy 245/40 tires this time since you have yours sold...

I started to go with that size but really liked how my 245/40 fit the 8" wheels (isn't pinched or buldged) so I went with what I knew i'd like I wouldn't mind the extra width of the 275 though...that is for sure. If I had 9.5" wheels out back i'd be all over the 275/35
