    Which one is a better tire size for my nightshade 2021 4Runner 275 55 r20 or 265 60 r20 because I’m planning to change it to look more aggressive I’m still using my stock wheel

    If you want it to look more aggressive then I would knock the 20's down to 17's and go with the 275's.

    Is that stock size on there now? It looks like any increase in size will result in rubbing.

    I had 275/55R20 but later changed to 17in wheels and 285/70R17 tires.

    This video sounds dumb but it shows how my 275/55R20 looks;

    In my case I needed 2.5in lift front (with 1.5in rear) to fit 285/70R17. Still need to push the inner fender liner forward to avoid rubbing.

    What kind of lift did you use?

    No, you can't. 285/70R17 tires need a 17" wheel. You have a 20" wheel on your 4Runner.

    I've got 265/60 20 KO2's. Dealer installed when new and not my first choice. That said, those should be on 7.5" min. rims. They roll up on the outside edges which will cause them to wear more in the center. A 55 series will have a short side wall also with much the same effect. When the time comes, I'm goin' 17's.
