howdy!

Welcome to the site.

I am sure someone here can help you.
There are threads on tire sizes that are sticky threads.
Meaning they don't go away.
That will tell you alot.

Very interested in your cuda!

Maybe go over to the newbie section and introduce yourself. 
would love to see pics of your AAR.
What color was it originally?

Here's how the new tire size you've chosen measure up against the factory sizes

You be the judge:

275/40/17  Height = 25.7"  Width = 10.8"

Front E60's Height = 25.6"  Width = 8.7"

Rear G60's Height = 26.6"  Width = 9.7"

So the new tires you've chosen are quite a bit wider but the same height as your factory fronts, yet an inch shorter then your factory rears....

Alan, are you saying the AARs came from the factory with G60s? You learn something every day!
