Winter tires on 10.5" rims
I have read a lot of forum posts about putting tires on the stock 10.5" rims. Some say they won't fit, some say they will. I had not seen a final picture showing they do, so here is my public service announcement that Pirelli Scorpion Snow and Ice 275/40R20's fit on my 2006 4.8is rims. I got the same size tires for front and rear.
I know this is not the best to have such a wide tire on for winter, but it allows me to spend more money for some summer tire and rims!!  Also, I have 30 mm spacers in the rear too. Here are pictures...

I don't know why anybody would have said "they wouldn't fit", At 275/40R20 they are smaller then the factory 315/35/20. 110.00mm wide vs 110.25mm wide.
Should fit fine, nice pics though

I've also installed TOYO open country winter tyres 295/40R20 to the front and to the rear. No problems occured. But I've got no spacers. More to that I decided to install front mud guards to protect the paint job on the front doors against stone chips and mud.

You're thinking sidewall height, in which case, you're correct that both will have similar rolling diameters. But I think the original post was concerned whether the 275 tire would properly fit over the 10.5" wide rim since the OEM tire for that rim is 315mm wide.

Sidewalls look a bit stretched. I wonder if it'll affect the tread wear and ability to hold a seal on the rim.
