Reply With QuoteTyre sizing is very confusing, and width will depend on the shape of the tyre face, don't assume a 275/55/20 to be wider than a 265/50/20 or 265/55/20, these may be a smaller rolling diameter, but they may be wider tyre.

That quote was for a 2014 RRS - a very different beast!
275/55R20 will fit, but you'll have rubbing on the plastic wheel-well liners under full compression (and the inside of the front bumper when turning). There's a doc on my website for mods needed to fit 275/65R18 - they're both basically the same size, so it should apply.
Don't expect the D4 to handle the same on a 32" tyre though!

You can get 265 50 18 ATs from Nitto (Terra Grappler) and Kuhmo (KL61). The Nittos can be had for around $250 each and the Kuhmos for $300.
There are also Cooper LTZ in 285 50 20 and 275 45 20, the 285 should be OK with the offset of the wheels you are looking at. With the standard offset they apparently run very close to the suspension.
I will probably go for the Nittos when my Pirellis finally wear out.
I have to say I have been very happy with the OEM Pirelli Scorpion Zero, unfortunately they are $400-500 each and I want to try something with a little more sidewall next.
