I think you may find 285/30 x 20" is actually the closest to the 275/40 x 20", and no it will not make a blind bit of difference to the speedo reading that you will notice by changing the tyre size in the ccf files, however the 285/35 would proably make the actual speedo reading more accurate than the orginal 275/40 as I'm sure by law a speedo has to read fast by a certain percentage, or at least that used to be the case. If you are talking about winter tyres I would have though smaller dia. rims with higher profile tyres would be the better option, as 22" rims were never a factory option on the L320 in either case.

When I had my L320 on 22’s I was running 285/35r22 & the actual Speed was slightly lower.

When I fitted my 22" wheels I had 285/35/22 and the speedo was under, I now have 285/40/22 and the ride is better by a long shot and the speedo is about perfect to my GPS. |

There is a great free app that I am using, called "Tire Expert". It allows you to compare any tyre sizes and tells you the difference between them
