The sizes sound good to me. The 275 might be a little stretched on the 10.5" rim but if that's the look you're going for then it's all good. You shouldnt have any rubbing issues as long as you get the right offsets.

i dont know the exact offsets because i have a sedan. It also depends whether you have brembo's or not. NM about the stretched part. The rim is 10.5" wide and the 275 tire is 10.8" wide so you shouldnt have a problem with that. But if you wanted more meat in the back you could go with a 285/30.

better traction, handling to make up for the weight you're adding with the 20's. But you're also adding 1 lb. per tire with the 285's as opposed to the 275's
