Default Anemic rear tire problem

I'm sure this has been covered before but couldn't find any, please forgive me...

17x10.5 with 6-7/8" backspacing
with 275/45ZR17 tire (recommended max size)
looks stretched out over the rim and kind of puny.
Factory Five MKII

Any experience out there? Should I go ahead and get a 9" wide rim with correct backspacing so the tire will bulge a little? I realize the Z rated tires have more of a squared look, but the front looks much better with a 9" rim and 245/40s

Thanks for any help!
