275/55/20 BFG Ko2 w/ 30MM Spacers installed
I wanted to do something that was short and wide. The factory “off road” tires are boring to me. I also wanted a wider foot print.
I used H&R 30MM spacers front and rear and 275/55/20 BFG Tires.
There is no rubbing at all on or off road at normal or off road height. Haven’t tried access height.
I will take some better pics tomorrow after I get my windows tinted.

Looks great! Thank you for getting the pictures of the front and rear so we can see how the wheel/tire still sits mostly inside the wheel wells. So a 30mm spacer got your tire and wheel almost flush with the fender tops as far as I can tell. It looks like it should have from the factory.
I'm going a slightly different route but I should get a similar result. The wheel I have purchased will get the outer lip of the wheel about 20mm closer to the fender lip than what stock is. I'm going both wider and slightly taller than stock. The stock, off-road Goodyear tire is an honest 32" tall and has a tread with of 8.7". The section width is a stated 10.9" as measured on a 8.5" wheel. I chose a Yohohama Geolandar MT-g003 in size 33x12.5R20 It is just slightly taller at 32.7" but is wider in both tread and section width at 10.2" and 12.6" measured on a 10" wheel.
I always mention what the tire was measured on because a slightly narrower wheel will make the tire measure just a bit smaller in width and the opposite is true for measuring on a wider wheel.
Last thing off topic here: Love the bike! I bought my wife a new Specialized Turbo Levo this year and it is super fun to ride! I can only imagine yours is just as fun. I got it for her because she couldn't ride due to an injury many years ago. We have now taken two trips to the mountains in CO to ride. That would have never happened before!
