Wow really.. no issues?

I thought only 245/40-20 would fit the front
If there was a sale on 255/45/20, I probably would have tried it. 245/45 is close but there is a little bit more room. I'd have to look at the tire size calculator again to see how much extra diameter is added.

(I wanted to close the gap without lowering SUV)

Edit;

Okay so I used the example of a fitting 19" tire size diameter to calculate what it would be in 20".

255/50/19 = diameter 91.2"
245/45/20 = diameter 90.1"
255/45/20 = diameter 91.2"

Also be aware of the plastic flap that protrudes from the spring/ strut area. I guess it could be cut away if the offset is too close (high) verses a low offset wheel that sticks further out towards the fender.
