Default Winter Set-Up Questions - premature

I'm pulling the trigger soon and buying a set of winter wheels a bit early this year. This is what I'm considering for a new SQ5 in Toronto:

Hartmann RS4 replicas 20x9" ET25 rims
Pirelli Winter Carving Edge 275 40R20

Does anyone have experience with these tires (studless)? I've read that they're decent, but a bit noisy.

Will this set-up work? Might these be too wide for the SQ5 (lowered on H&R-1)? I know the rolling diameter will be slightly smaller than OEM with 275 40R20 (speedometer will read ~ 1.3% fast).

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
