Sorry if this is a stupid question, but would a 265/60/20 tire work with that wheel? I was really hoping for a different 21" option to come out, but I don't see it happening. I have at 16k miles and was told at my last rotation a few days ago that they won't make it to another one.

Those look good.. any data on their ability to support the weight of the Rivian?

No - I will see what specs are in the box and report back. Nothing on tirerack and googling brought up nothing. Looks like a new product, and with the crazy offset seems likely it was made to target Rivian, so hopefully it is sufficient.

I’m going to go with 275/60r20 which gives almost identical diameter to 275/55/r21 and hopefully therefore avoid any need for a service center visit to reset the truck.

That's a 9" wide wheel. Factory is 8.5" wide. If you got the 275/65R20 tire, you'll have slightly less (but not noticeable) bulging of sidewall and about 6.4 mm more track (quarter inch) to each side.

Looks like a 265/60/r20 would work too and is only 1.2% smaller diameter than the 275/55/r21. source - https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wh...60-20X9ET48&fcl=50mm&wcl=30mm&scl=50mm&sr=0mm

That's what I was hoping for as well. Maybe I misspoke on the 265 size. 275/60/20 is the same size?

It's less track width, isn't it? Stock tires will be 6 mm further in. Probably won't result in anything noticable at all though.

8.5" = 215.9 mm
9" = 228.6 mm

Offset (+48mm) is from center of the barrel. Positive offset is outboard of center and negative offset is inboard of center. So, respectively, from plane containing outboard edge of barrel to mounting surface of wheel:

Factory: 59.95 mm (215.9/2-48)
This aftermarket wheel: 66.3 mm (228.6/2-48).

So, compared to factory, these are set out further by 6.35 mm (66.3-59.95). Wider track total footprint/stance.

275/60r20 is very close to 275/55r21, the former has a 2mm bigger diameter, so to all intents an purposes the same size.

265/60r20 is 10mm narrower tread, and 10mm smaller diameter than the 275/55r21, so the difference is a little bit more.

They'll stick in the same amount, same track width yay.

If you guys are converting from the factory 21" wheel size, to 20", definitely go with 275/60R20. It's merely a 0.3% deviation from the 275/55R21 that your R1s are programed for.

A 265 mm wide tire on a 9" wide rim... you might not like the result. Then again, it might not be noticeable. Hard to say. I personally wouldn't.
