Will it fit 275/30/20 front?
As per title. Has anyone tried to put 275/30/20 tyres up front without rubbing? Most people run 265/30/20 on their aftermarket rims but it makes the car -0.55mm lower than stock because of the smaller overall diameter.
I have new wheels ordered for my GTS with the front rim in 20x9.5 +53 size and wanted to increase the wheel diameter because I plan to lower my car and don't want it to be too low.
Just want to get rid of the massive fender gap.

GTs stock front is 265/35-19 which is 26.3” overall diameter.
265/30-20 is also 26.3” overall diameter, EXACTLY the same.

According to the wheel manufacturer that made my wheels this is the safest spec they can go without rubbing on the front fenders.

And according to the calculator, my rear will be 5.45mm taller than standard since I will be running 325/25/20 with 21x11.5 rear wheels. It is going to be sitting slighty tapered compared to stock with the front being lower than the rear.
That is why I wanted to put 275/30 upfront to compensate the height balance, havent seen anyone running 275/30/20 up front mostly are 265/30/20.

If the wheel manufacturer says it will work then you gotta trust them and see what's what when it comes. If it rubs you have a valid argument for them to build you a new set.
For what it's worth, we use different specs for our tried & tested fitment.
