I considered fitting 275/60R20 to go to Grece this summer, and give the horrible original Pirelli All Seasons a miss...and in the end gave up, with the measure, not with the model...after completely ruling out spacers or cutouts. I looked for a lot of opinions on the matter, but it was impossible to come to a half-reliable conclusion...there are those who say a outright YES and those who say an absolutely NO...there are those who say the cars are not exactly the same in different MYs...the truth is that I doubt it...and there are those who say that there are different adjustments depending on some options...I don't know, it was too much of a risk...I chose to continue with the standard size, but now with the Good Year Adventur AT...despite what they say they are made of rice bread...and I don't believe it seeing this video from Morocco...with what I see there...it's too much for me...sorry it's in Spanish, but the images are not bad and the GY Adventur AT the wheels...if anyone likes it, enjoy it!!

Has anyone fitted 275 60 20 or 265 60 20 with out modifications
ThanksMike
I’ve got 275 60 R20 BFG AT’s on my 110 and they rub slightly, exactly the same wheel and tyre rubs more on my 130, which required some trimming and adjustment to the front wheel arch liner.
The extent of the trimming will depend on the wheel offset, some standard landrover rims maybe ok. Wheel rims with greater offset like the Black Rhinos Alston wheels that I’ve got will increase the rubbing at full lock.

Tyres do vary in size between manufactures and tread patterns with more aggressive sidewall blocks are more likely to rub than a soft off-road tyre like the Trail Terrain or road based tyre.
I’ve tried lift rods and they make little difference to the tyres rubbing and the lift rods negatively impact the on road and off-road handling. When in off-road - lifted mode you end up with suspension bags that feel like pogo sticks and subsequent reduce flex and articulation. It makes for a harsh ride off-road too.
If you have mud flaps fitted you will also need to make a very small trim to the front mud flaps using a Stanley knife.
