Tire upgrades on 20 in. rims?

Looks great , nicely done.
Everything is working good. There hasn’t been any rubbing. Honestly I think they look great on the wheels. I thought there would be more of a bulge out on the sides but there is not much with these tires. They didn’t have any trouble mounting and balancing. I wont be doing in heavy off road trails, mainly trips to the beach and ranch on occasion.

That's nice, I have the same tires under my LC. What do you think of the comfort? I have had BF Goodrich AT's under older Landcruisers for years but I find it very stiff under 250 on short ridges and bumps.

Yup, BF Goodrich AT KO3 285/55R20, nice tire, good grip but stiff, too stiff! I ride on 36 psi but unfortunately still very stiff on short bumps! More people suffer from this?
Did you ever go with the 275X65X20? Thats what I am looking to replace the OEM tires. Do they fit with no modifications?
Did you mount the 275x65x20? If so how did they fit?
Mine came with the SET ($rip off$) Nitto Ridge Grappler (I think they look silly too), while they weren’t horrible on dry pavement*, I’d read the reviews on them. I used Continental TerrainContact A/T on my F150 and they are a great tire on the road (especially wet and w/d braking), so I put a set on my LC. Only cons with the TC, life can be shorter, they get flat spots after sitting depending on temp (goes away after a block or two), and some say they have a higher rolling resistance. Cont will stand by their tread life warranty as well.
275/60-20
*I had these on my F150 and I flogged them pretty hard. After 46k they needed to be replaced. Cont/DT gave me $65 credit per tire. I swapped the Nitto’s onto my F150 that is getting traded in on a ordered F150. Worked out well. They look small in the photo for some reason lol.
**After having the Nittos on my F150 for a few days now, I change my comment, they are horrible tires. My new F150 can't show up soon enough.

@Arnovdmale that looks awesome. Any rubbing at all???
Nothing touches or rubs at all, perfect size, just a bit stiffer cheeks. It does seem as if the suspension has become a bit more flexible as the car has driven more, fortunately!
What size Wildpeak’s are these exactly? Love the look, hope to replicate on mine.
I ran 275/60R20 winter tires and they had no trouble fitting in the spare location.
Ran those all winter here in Vermont. Couldn't be better. Nokian is a great brand.I got 20” rims and our replacement will be Nokian nAT
The tires have an Aramid sidewall like Kevlar. My F250 has Goodyear Kevlar tires and those tires, I feel, have saved me some serious tire damage on Interstate 40. So, I’m sold on the Nokians.

Falken Wildpeak AT4's 275/60/20. No rubbing and similar ride to OEM tires, plus the rig looks legit!!!
Edit, pics don't show, let me see what am I doing wrong
