Ok, I went with

Nitto Terra Grappler G2 Tire 275/55/20

I'll send pictures once they're mounted so you can see them. Thank you everyone for your input.

looks great. i am assuming no rubbing on full lock when turning? i did 285/50/20 with the same terra grappler tires. i was afraid it might rub and 285/50 is a little closer in size to the stock outer diameter.

I was going to order the Nitto Grappler G2 for my 2020 G550. I currently have the 20 inch wheels with the stock Pirelli 275/50/20 tires. Can I put on the 275/65/20 with no rubbing/issues with the stock suspension? I appreciate your help!

I have had the mickey thompsons on for 6 months or so now, and besides the road noise because of the aggressive tread, not a single rub or problem. Like a beautiful wife or girlfriend, something that looks so awesome, you have to deal with a little of the cons that come with it.

If someone is looking for the factory 19" amg wheels from my 2017 g. I have them for sale at 1,000 for the set. Tires are half tread, and not a single curb scuff or mark on the wheels. I am in northeast pa.

Mine are forged monoblock which were custom ordered. Takes around 6 weeks for production.

Do you have any rubbing/clearance issues with this set up?

I went with the new Nitto Recon Grapplers 33x12.5. Loving my new Formula Defender wheels and the aggressive stance.

Looks great! Do you have the aggressive sidewall tread pattern mounted out, or in? I haven't seen these tires in person yet, but was curious how different the sidewall detail was between the two sides.

I have the less aggressive sidewall showing (facing out). The more aggressive side was a bit much for my like, but the Nitto website has a 3d model that can give you a good idea.
