I have recently fitted Nitto Terra Grappler G2's on my L322 275 55 20.. They equate to a touch under 32". I have to trim up the drivers side rear wheel well tub where the fuel filler goes down and have a look at the spot welded seam at the top of the wheel arch. Other than that they fit and look awesome. Big difference to the standard 265 50 20 roadies.

Do you have to tell your insurer if you're changing from 255/50 to 255/55 ?? 2021 D350 Fifty Edition - Carpathian Grey

Did you get the 55 to fit ok in the wheel well with a bit more air than 2 bar?

Had AT3’s fitted on mine last year. Can’t fault them.

I have 255/60R19 GG AT3 on D4 rims ready to go on when my current tyres wear down enough. They have a little more sidewall height and a higher load rating than 255/55R20 GG AT3 yet have the same OD. They fit in the spare wheel well at full pressure although mine's left side plastic has been trimmed to fit 275/55R20. |

Yes the floor will sit flat. Bit of a wrestle to get the wheel in though. |

you dont have to struggle with a 55 in the spare.....use a space saver wheel or one of the original 50 profiles as a spare.... ... - .- -.
