Regarding diameter, anything under 31.5 inches will fit without rubbing (or at most very minor rubbing under full articulation).Dennis

Is it a case of winding out the bolt for the stops or is there extended ones you can buy ?

285/55 20 is around 32 inches so I'm presuming that will just rub slightly or will they just not fit at all ?

285/55/20 is 32.3 inches.
IMO that will definitely rub quite a bit but I have no experience with that size.
I am running 265/70/17 which works out to 31.6 inches and they slightly grazed the wheel arches in some heavy articulation (eg. fast turn around a roundabout etc).
I'm pretty sure 32.3 inches would be digging trenches under similar conditions so will probably need a bit of a lift.
Best to hear from someone who fitted such a tyre size though.Dennis
