Another tire question about 20s

Anybody running 275-40-20 all the way around for their 20s? I like pics to see how it looks.

I currently have the 315s in the rear, but now that I mostly drive my e92, I'm not sure my wife cares much about a staggered setup. I may just swap out the 315s for a pair of 275s, so that its easier to change flats, etc. I'm hoping that 275s all around looks almost as good.

My friend runs 275/40/20 all the way around for his winter setup on his 4.8is. It doesn't look bad but not as good as the staggered setup in my opinion. Can't speak the the performance side of it. Sorry couldn't help more.

I run 275/40/20 for the winter all around. I put a 30mm spacer on the rear to make it fill out the rear fender well. It looks fine and still handles pretty well. Your wife will be fine driving that way, it is not *that* big of a difference.
