Tire Options for 20" rims on 2012 GL450

I have the 2012 GL 450 with the Appearance package's 20" rims. The stock tires are 275/50 and seem to be very expensive to replace. 275/45 or 275/55s or 285/50s are much more inexpensive. Will those sizes fit? Any issues with those sizes? What sizes / brands do others recommend?

I looked for other posts with this information but didn't find any.

Thanks for your help

I changed my 275/50's runflats with 285/50's. Much better ride then the runflats and as you said, much less expensive. I purchased the Hankook Ventus AS RH07. Good tire, great price.

I mounted Nexen Roadian HP 285/50-20 tires, only $130 each. No complaints.
