Will a 27.1" tire clear front knuckle?

[bnekic]

So l bought a set of 255/35/20 tires for my 20x9 uberturbines, the Falken Azenis FK460 to be specific.


After a lot of research l've come to the conclusion that any 255/35/20 tire at a 27" diameter will fit without rubbing the upper knuckle. Based on the forums the only tire that has issues with rubbing is the Michelin PSAS4 which is a 27.3" tire.


Now my question is will the Falken's fit or rub being a 27.1" tire?

Actual tire diameters may differ from specs. If your specific tires turn out to be slightly larger than spec, they may rub a bit, especially at higher tire pressures.

I Just wanted to make a post with the 2022 Tesla Model 3 LR max tire size that fits without a lift and without rubbing! I threw on a set of Falken Wildpeak AT trail tires in 235/50/r18 on the stock model 3 wheels. I am still planning on lifting it for a little more ground clearance but just...

It's tire and setup specific, plus tolerances as @dsgerbc mentioned. Mount one and test it first. Certain 27.3" diameter tires are clearing the upright shown in the thread attached.
