275/35/20 Rear Tyres

Hey guys,

If I change my 19" alloys to a set of 20", can anyone see it being an issue going to 275/35/20 instead of 275/30/20? My car isn't Xdrive.

The wheels I've found already have 275/35/20 fitted so it would save buying two new tyres when they're already pretty new.

I realise the larger sidewall may look slightly chunky compared to the front tyres so may change them anyway but seems a shame to waste them.

The standard 245/35/20.
So front and rear axles would be on 35 profile tyres, just curious as to whether it makes much of a difference

I assume without xDrive, there shouldn't be a problem.

My wife is running 255/35/20 front and 275/35/20 rear (non x-drive) without issues. Much more comfortable than the previous 275/30/20 rear that she had on.

Pretty much like people said, without Xdrive you have a not more options since you can run staggered. For me I went from skinny 245 fronts to 255 and 265 rears to 295's!
