Sizes that fit the same wheel
These sizes share a 20 inch wheel diameter and sit within 3% of 275/65R20 in overall diameter, which is the range a swap stays inside without recalibrating anything.
The percentage difference in overall diameter is the speedometer error: a tire 2% taller makes an indicated 60 mph a true 61.2 mph. They are the same number, so it is shown once.

How this is worked out
sidewall height in millimetres = section width × aspect ratio ÷ 100
overall diameter in inches = wheel diameter + (section width × aspect ratio × 2) ÷ 2540
section width in inches = section width in millimetres ÷ 25.4
circumference in inches = π × overall diameter
revolutions per mile = 63360 ÷ circumference in inches
The divisor is 2540, not the 2550 some converters publish. Two sidewalls in inches are 2 × width × aspect ÷ (100 × 25.4), and the rounding costs about 0.07 inches at 34 inches.
For 275/65R20: the sidewall is 178.8 millimetres, two of them are 14.07 inches, and adding the 20 inch wheel gives 34.07 inches overall.
Questions
What size is 275/65R20 in inches?
34.07 inches in overall diameter, 10.83 inches in section width, with a 7.04 inch sidewall.
How tall is a 275/65R20 tire?
34.07 inches, which is 865.5 millimetres.
What do the numbers in 275/65R20 mean?
275 is the section width in millimetres, 65 is the sidewall height as a percentage of that width, and 20 is the wheel diameter in inches. Overall diameter is the wheel diameter plus two sidewalls: 34.07 inches.
Does 275/65R20 fit a 20-inch wheel?
Yes — the 20 in a metric tire size *is* the wheel diameter, so 275/65R20 is made for a 20 inch wheel. Rim width is a separate question the sidewall code does not answer.
What tire sizes are equivalent to 275/65R20?
325/55R20, 255/70R20, 225/80R20 are the closest by overall diameter, all on the same 20 inch wheel.
Fitting a size is not only a matter of diameter. Rim width, load rating, speed rating and clearance all decide whether a size works on a given vehicle, and none of them can be read off the sidewall code alone.
