anyone using 275/45/20s ?

hi members,. im new to the forum and this is my 1st post. 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.

thanks.

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).

hi, thanks for the respond,. so u sure tire wont rub against any inner compartment & wont affect the turning radius?

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.

rim width is 9.5. hmm.. lets see how it goes.

bump..

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.

I'm waiting for 275/40/20 now, hopefully I will have them here next week with Kahn RS600 rims, and Kahn Designs said it wouldn't be any problems with 275/40/20.

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.

hello, i love those rims, please send pics as soon as they are on the car!!!
these are the ones i'm planning to buy
