$655.00 each
$25.00 Center Cap
Addtional Charge for tire pressure monitors if applicable.
If you are going to run 275/35-20 tires, You must purchase the 18" mini spare from the W12 for emergency use.
You can have your tires sent directly to the dealer doing the buy for me and have them mounted and balanced for a $50 flat fee.

Atlas, got a question about the mini-spare
The diameter of a new 275/35-20 tire is 27.6 inches. I know for a fact that no inflated tire that large will fit in the spare wheel well. If the mini-spare has an 18 inch wheel, I am assuming that it still needs a tire that has the same overall diameter in order to not cause problems.
A new 255/45-18 tire is 27 inches in diameter (.6 in difference) which works out to about 21 additional revolutions per mile. Wouldn't that difference in diameter cause a problem with the differentials?

Mixing 275/35-20 and 255/45-18 is not a problem. ,,,
The Torsen center differential can handle a 3% difference in diameter. These tires are only 2% different, and since you're only running one spare, the effect on the center differential is half of that ... 1% and no problem.
The front or rear differential would see the "full" 2% difference, but these are just ordinary open differentials and can handle any difference up to the point that traction control is activated and begins braking one corner. I don't know what point that is, but I'm sure it's much more than a 2% speed difference.
