2020 G63: What A/T tire fits?

I have a new 2020 G63 coming in next month. It has the standard 20" wheels. I want to get some All Terrain rubber on there and sell my stock tires with less than 100 miles of use.

I want to get larger and more aggressive but without rubbing.
Stock Tires are:
275/50R20 = 30.8x10.8R20
285/45R21 = 31.1x11.2R21
295/40R22 = 31.3x11.6R22

I was looking at BF Goodrich All Terrain KO2 or the Nitto Ridge Grappler
275/55/20 I think would fit no problem, height 31.8"
285/55/20 should fit too, height 32.3"
295/55/20 would probably rub, height 32.8"

I have wheel spacers on my 2018 E63S so I'd probably add spacers as well. Any thoughts on tire size, actual tire and how much spacing is needed on a 2020 G63 to achieve no rubbing and an aggressive look? Thanks!

285/50/20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers no issues. Quiet on the road, fantastic off road and have an aggressive look.

No more MB:(
So is it ok to go to 285 from 275? I have a 2018 and would like to switch out when the tires are due for replacement but don't want to get into rubbing or any other issues. Right not the only all terrain in 275 50 20 are Pirelli scorpions but I really like the nitto's.

Jim, Do you have any pics of your ride? Do you think a bigger tire would work or is it close as is?

Do the 305/55/20s rub at all?

I am sure you have at least 10mm of clearance now, right?

+1, though I have 285/55/r20 Ridge Grapplers and have experienced the same - no rub, super smooth. I have also gone off roading relatively hard and performance is awesome.
