I saw someone post a question before asking if 275/50/20 will fit their FX so I wanted to post my experience with my newly installed KUMHO HP71 CRUGEN 275/50 R20 on my 2018 QX60 AWD. So far so good... I did notice that the space between the top of the front tires and the bottom of the springs is like 1 inch. Just enough to run my hand through it. It does not rub the inside the wheel well but I think it will rub if I go over a hard bump that makes the vehicle drop about a inch. When I turned the wheel all the way on either direction there was about 0.5 inch space between the edge of the tire threads and the plastic on the inside back end closest to the cabin. No rubbing while turning hard either direction so I'm happy. No problems with going straight or slight left / right neither. I did notice an increase in drive handling! The vehicle had less wobble in turns and it just drives better than the OE tires. I have not checked the mileage effects just yet since I just installed them. Also the vehicle looks much beef-er with the fuller tires! All that said, the answer to the question: will the 2018 QX60 take 275/50/20 Tires? is YES.
I will try to update later if I notice any drop in mileage since the Kumhos weighs about 4 pounds more than the skinny OE tires each. That's about 16 pounds more weight to throw about. ...will that move the fuel mileage needle? I don't know but my engineering mind is saying not by much to notice but time will tell.
Hope this information helps someone considering going for the Maximum +0 with size tire for the 2018 QX60 or similar model size.
