Tire To Wheel Matching '101'

[Interceptor]

I know little about tire to wheel matching, and the interweb searches were a little overwhelming for a tech nerd. So, maybe someone can enlighten me in layman's terms.

My EXP has P275/55R20 tires from the factory on 20x8.5 rims, according to the specs that I read. I'm looking at new wheels, of which the style I like only comes in 20x9. Dumb question maybe, but will my stock tires fit on a 20x9 rim?

Here is what I'm looking at:

Nice wheel selection I like it a lot . IT will look great on that black expy of yours. You should be fine since really you are only going .5 inches wider than a stock wheel. The 275 is how wide your tire is.

I run a 285 on an 8in wide wheel and my tread sticks out wider that the wheel.

Those look like the ones BartMan has.
I guess I should message him about this forum too.

Yes, you should have no problem putting your stock tires on those wheels. Good choice, those wheels look sweet.
