I like the look of them very much, but what are the thoughts on the size:- 275/55/20? Will they fit or rub

cheddar, dont you mean 275/45x20, as 275/55x20 would rub the arch.

AND their only [$161] £81.67 each for the 275/45/20
But not doubt shipping to the UK would severely add to the cost.

there's two shop's selling them, I emailed both for a shipping quote. I also mentioned thre could be a group buy to see if there'd be any discount.
Would the 275/55 fit?
I have 275/45 at the mo.
Did the tyre calc thing and it might be ok in a 275/55.
Any opinions?
45 is too low profile I reckon.

Hhmmm, that 285/50/20 seems a decent size!
it's also got a 116 load rating versus the 110 of the 275/55! Blessed are the cracked, for they shall let in the light.

check through the threds, as I seem to recall a canadian guy on here who tried 285/50x20s on his D3, and they fouled the suspension upright, even though the tyre calc looked OK.
The RRS has a slightly different casting at the top of the suspension upright which doesnt protrude outwards quite as much as the pressing used on the D3.
