Exclamation 2007 GS450h 20x9 Front 20x10.5 - Switching Tire Help!?

Hey guys I have a 2007 GS450h with Vossen 20x9 in front and 20x10.5 in the back. I am currently running a Nitto Invo setup with 275/30/20's in the back. I am kinda dissapointed that the tire looks so stretched over the 20x10.5 and the lip has no protection what so ever clearance is fine no rubbing issues at all.

I inquired about the Nitto Invo 285/30/20 and had them test fit it on my car with my 20x10.5 wheel. It looks alot better and the lip of the wheel actually has a bit of protection. When we lowered the 07 gs450h down we didn't see or feel any rubbing at a standstill.

I am worried though if I make the switch if I will have problems in the future.

Note I am at stock height and do not plan on lowering it.

I would like your recommendations.. Should I pull the trigger and get them..?

My 275/30/20's have 90% treadlife left

Thanks!

That is the same size tires I am looking at useing. What size are you running in the fronts? The 285 is about 1/2" taller and a little over 1/2" wider sec width. I think it also looks better.Maybe some other members who have this size tire will chime in. Please keep us informed if you go this route. Good luck.
