Default Tire Size for Stock Q7 20" Wheels

Hi everyone,
we're finally replacing the tires that originally came with our 4.2 Premium.
The wheels are the Factory 20" two tone split 5 spoke rim. Has anyone gone above the original 275 width?

If so, what size have you put on?

Thanks

I've been looking at the 295/45-20 Yoko Parada Spec-X to fit a set of new wheels i'm searching for. Yoko's spec sheet says rim width range 9.5" to 11" but my S-Line 20's are only 9" wide. Are the other Q7 OE 20's wider or is a 9" wheel OK for other 295 manufacturers?

Since this is an upsize from the OEM 275/45/20, have you encountered any issues with tire clearance, speedo error, handling, etc?

I think the Stock OE's are also 9" wheels, i always assumed the S-line were 9.5".

I am pretty sure there must be a slight speedo difference as I 've done this on my FX before and had a similar symtom. It would be great if someone can tell us how's the Q with the wider tire on the stock rims.
