Front wheels are 9.5 x 20 and rears are 10.5 x 20. And yes, you can fit/stretch a 275/45 x 20 tire on a 10.5 wheel, but not all tires have this capability!! My brand tire cannot be stretched on a 11" rim. Need to look at the tire specifications to see what the tire manufacturer allows ... Pic below is without the 20mm spacers ... once installed, the edge of the tire sits nicely flush with the extended fender flairs. I don't like using the 20mm spacers though, because it also requires using a 43mm long wheel bolt and I feel that the integrity/safety of the wheel assembly is compromised ...
