2019 BEV tire setup

My car came with 155/60/20 front tires. My rear wheels have 175/55/20 specs. Can I use the 175/55/20 tires on my front wheels?

You can temporarily swap front with the wider rears to make sure there is no touching between the tire and car when turning the steering all the way. If it clears, I'd say your are good to use wider tires in the front.

My front wheel specs are 20 x 5” and the rears are 20 x 5.5”. So will the 175 width tire fit on the wheels that are 0.5” narrower?

You can pull the full specs on those 175 tires, they should have the recommended rim width listed, otherwise you can consult with the tire installers and see what they say.
