taller tires on a EQS 580 SUV 21" wheel
Trying to assemble an affordable set of winter wheels and tires for my EQS 580 SUV. The OEM tire size is 275 45 21 but I'm hoping to fit a 275 50 21. The tires are the same width but the 275/50 are about 9" taller in total versus the 275/45. That seems like it might be a lot (+3.6%). Don't want to mess around with adjustable lift links.
I know the staggered setup runs wider in the rear, but they are not taller. Does anybody have experience with a taller tire size?
