Default Has anyone done 275/30/20 in the FRONT?? Will it fit?

The question is right there in the title.
275/30/20 in the front. Will it fit?
I already have the tires, thats why Im set on that size. theyre currently on my rears but theyre too small for the 10.5 in rims I have on the rear. so Im buying wider tires for the rears.

But instead of throwing out the 275s, cause they are practically brand new, I want to see if I can use them on the fronts w/ some new front rims (wider of course than my current 8.5s)

So basically, can i make 275/30/20 fit in the front?

I tried that on my 19's. did not fit, so I don't think you will have any luck either.

On an 18 it can be done easily. That is why I am down sizing.

The size of the rim has no bearing on weather it will fit. The outer diameter of the tire is key. A 275 will fit with the correct offset.

Here is the link on the specifics of the 275 front.

So what I gather from what your saying is that, if 275s will fit on 18 inch rims, they will fit on 17, 19, 20in rims, whatever. And furthermore, from the article, they used a +30 offset. Would that +30 offset carry between the different diameter rims, or with the larger rim, would you need a new offset?

offset and width go hand in hand

offset and diameter have nothing to do with one another
