For those of you running 275/40R20 or 275/35R21 ... have any of you experienced rubbing issues? If so, what are the wheel specs?

I'm fairly certain I can run the 275's on 20x9 et29, but I haven't been able to confirm the fitment through my normal sources.

I have 21x10 +33 wheels on order and I am planning to run a 275/35/21 so I will let you know once they arrive in a few weeks if they rub.

I do not take credit for finding this site but I cant remember who posted it on here.
I use it to compare the fitments of peoples setups and their pictures against the wheel size/tire size I would like to go with. I haven't gone and measured the stock setup's clearances yet but I can post them when I get around to it. hope the site helps.

Thanks. I use https://www.willtheyfit.com/ to do comparisons. The wheels are pretty much ideal, it's the tires I'm concerned with, and no site can predict specific vehicle clearances. Once upon a time Tire Rack used to take comprehensive measurements to determine exactly what will and will not fit, but they apparently don't do that anymore. I'm not far from South Bend, so I even offered up my car for measurement/test-fitting. They were not interested. Discount Tire has helped me with fitments in the past, but they're defaulting to "we don't know" in this case, too. They'll test fit my wheels, but again, that's not my concern. I'm 90% sure I won't have a problem, but it's a big gamble to drop $1300 on tires without knowing for sure.

Ultimately if I don't feel comfortable, I'll just have my OE tires mounted on the new wheels for now, or I'll go with 255/45's and live with a less accurate speedometer.

Yep, they fit. 275/40R20 Pirelli Scorpion WeatherActive mounted on 20x9 et29 Hartmann S6 replicas. A few initial pics are below. I'll get better photos after I get her cleaned up.





On a related topic, if anybody is looking for a cheap 19" winter package, send me a PM.

wheels are 21x9, offset/et: +32

so far the fitment seems spot on. No rubbing whatsoever with spirited driving. I haven’t driven off road yet which would be the true test but I have been cruising in the lowest height setting on road with zero issues

As above, I posted but BC Forged MLE10 21x10 +33 with Michelin Pilot Sport All season 4 in 265/35/21. I am so pleased with the fitment, I definitively could go up to a 275/35 if I wanted as there is about a finger gap between the tire and the fenders. As you can see the front has a slight poke and the rear is exactly flush with the fenders.
