Tire profile

This may be a stupid question, but is it possible to go with a higher tire profile size to minimize the fender gap? I am looking for an alternative to lowering.

Technically speaking, you shouldn't be over 29'' tire diameter ….but I think you could go up to upper 29s.
A couple of people here have done it, I believe.

Specs on mine are 30.55" and they clear fine.

Below are my current tires... would I be able to go higher aspect ratio to fill the fender gap?

Front: 275 40 20
Back: 315 35 20

I've searched and I don't see a matching pair for front and back.

you could get non staggered wheels and do 275/45/20 all around

Have any pictures of tires that tall and is there any rubbing at full lock?

S-drive or X-drive?

I should of also asked earlier, but what is your wheel offset and width? I just posted a thread trying to find others that have used larger tires or at least above 29"+.

I'm pretty sure the width is 9.5. Tires are 275/30/24. But the wheels were custom made so I don't know the offset. The wheels are the same width but the offset/lip are different in the back.
