I'd like to use my 275/55-20 winter tires...anyone know if they'll fit without rubbing?
 






I have 285/40/22 on my '16 for the warmer weather without rubbing. Wheels are 22x9.5 and +30 offset. You might go online and calculate the total diameter of your tires and mine. If you're are the same size or smaller they should fit

Can't say about the rubbing part but they are more than twice (6.23%) the accepted maximum diameter variance of 3%. The sidewall is almost an inch higher and the width is 0.79 inches wider that the OEM tire which I think is a 255/50R20. Your speedo would be off by approximately 4 mph (too fast) at 60.
