snow tire setup

anyone know if it will really make a difference if put 275/45/20 on my x5m? i had the chance to buy 4 new blizzak LM-25's in that size for $325 total and am putting them on some replica x6m rims in stock sizes. i know many others have used a square setup with 275/40's. other than a little error in the speedo, any problems with this? thanks for your help!

Naa, you'll be fine. If all you're doing is going a bit larger on the sidewall, it will actually help the snow traction a bit. Just remember, even on the dry roads, your traction is a fraction of what you have on the summer tires.
