anyone using 275/45/20s ?

hi members,. im new to the forum and this is my 1st post. Surprised im planing on upgrading to 20" & the tire offered with the package comes with "275/45/20". my problem is , will it be a perfect fit or will it effect my turning radius (grind with inner panels?) ? what are the benefits & the cons of wide tires? anyone using 275s' please help me. Sad

thanks.

RE: anyone using 275/45/20s ?

i'd think this would look amazing on the RRE!
Personnaly i have the 20" with 245 on it and already it looks great,
but i'd also like to change to 275.
Il buy black wheels before the winter and buy 275 M+S for these wheels.
The 245's are summertyres (Contisport).

RE: anyone using 275/45/20s ?

What is the width of those rims? If it's 8 inch like all the stock 20'' versions, then 275 is NOT recommended. Would need to be 8.5 - 9.0 inch. Not sure about turning radius problems, i guess you'd have to fit one on the hoist and test.

RE: anyone using 275/45/20s ?

The rolling radius will be slightly bigger, as the tyre aspect ratio (tyre side profile) will increase about 10mm over the stock tyres side profile.
So things to consider...1/ your speedo will be slightly out (showing slower then your actual speed), 2/ turning radius, 3/ check and see if there will be safe clearance between the top front tyre and the spring strut hanging over it,as you will be increasing that 10mm's, & 4/ check the offset of the wheel.

RE: anyone using 275/45/20s ?

Not sure about the rubbing due to increased width, but....

Based on the standard 245/45/20;

The 275/45/20 size will increase the circumference by 3.71% which affects your speedometer by that much,
while 275/40/20 will give you a much more accurate speed readings with -0.07% error.
