can I run a 275/55/20 on my 07 2wd?

[Cracker Darrell]

I just got 20" limited wheels from the 5th gen 4runners. they are 20x8. was going to run 265/50/20 to keep my factory tire height (more rim/less tire). however this is an odd size, where as 275/55/20 is cheaper and more readily available, and there is a used but almost brand new set for $240 mounted/balanced/installed. it's about 1.5" taller tire, so I'd raise the vehicle up 3/4". I'm not overly concerned about the speedo difference, and the idea of a little more cushion is appealing to me for better ride quality and to potentially prevent bends, but is it going to rub?? I don't mine if it barely makes contact and full turn but I just mean something that will interfere with being daily driven, sitting in traffic, never off road. i could potentially get a leveling kit for the front in the future but no plans right now. I attached a chart comparing the specs. any help is greatly appreciated as I am already scheduled to install the 275's in the morning.

I think you can

I bought mine with 265/50-20 and swapped to offroad tires on 17's, 275/70, which are over 32" and they fit with very minimal rub when full turning in reverse

one other small concern is that 275/55 is for wheels between 8-10.5" and i'm on the very low end of that range.

you can run the 275/55 r20 aslong the rim width is the minimum of 7.5, you might be close on the upper control arms like my setup, but it wont touch. the only rub you might get is the fender liner or mudflap if you turn hard at full speed. but you might not notice it.

they are getting mounted, balanced and installed as we speak. thanks for the input.
