You should be fine. I have 8.5" wheels with a 3.5" offset. I don't like the offset, but like the wheels. I manage to run a 27x11.5 DOT tire OK. Though its a hair shorter than your 28" tires, its wider than 275. And your wheels will be just 0.5" more inboard. I think you have nothing to worry about.

Remember when you are changing wheels that weight is a big factor and the lighter the wheel the more horsepower you can put to the ground. So weigh in you sacrifices.
