(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.
I have M-sport so no plastic
