275/30R20's on a M3P?

Your best source on all this is a guy called The Mad Hungarian who is mostly on the other forum. Exceptionally knowledgeable, and will get back to you in a Flash. I consulted with him around my own setup where I knew I was going to be pushing the limits.
305-wide tires just clear the inner upright on an effective +23-25 offset. So, a 275-wide tire should clear with a few mm to spare on a +35 offset wheel. Some tire models may actually rub and require a small spacer.
Clearing the fender would need some camber.
A 9" wide wheel is an approved size for 275/30/20 tire, and should be perfectly safe. Finding a shop that mounts 30-series tires could be tricky these days regardless of wheel width.

I let my wife take her on a quick errand
. I will forever wonder if 275s would have prevented this….

@Lindenwood Ahhh...I feel for you. Our M3P is shared and living in a city we street park all the time. Let's just say it has a good side and a bad side for photographs.View attachment 834513

I even contributed one of the curb marks.I decided to make mental peace with curbing before we even picked up the car, because with our often rushed family / child activity schedules, it's bound to happen.
I was also the first one to cut over a curb by mistake! But with 18s no scratches or bending or anything from that...was just at like 2mph pulling out of a parking spot.
Climbed right over the curb without issue, rim never touched it. Later my wife cut a curb making a fast right turn but luckily it had a crosswalk cutout. I don't even want to know what's happened when I'm not in the car.

Haha yeah I honestly was not upset at all. A couple minutes with sandpaper and a dab of the same paint that was already on it and it is unnoticeable. It just made me laugh that this whole argument started with my comments about rim protection and here I am with rash@Lindenwood Ahhh...I feel for you.
