Tires and various sizes
Hello Forum.

Can I place 275/35/20's on the front of my 4.6is? I know 275/40/20 are the norm. Just wondering if the first will work and produce no harm.

Won't do any harm but the diameter of you wheels will be smaller and your speedometer/odometer will be out a little. Also you will have slightly less ground clearance.

You need to see if the new tire is within 3% of the rear tires as far as overall diameter otherwise you could suffer some awd problems in the near future.
