hafnutz67 got a reaction from KnightRoller in 20" SRT8 wheels and tires installed
I finally got around to changing out the wheels and tires on my wifes 20013 SXT.
The wheels are 20x8.5 +34 Hyper Black SRT8 replicas by H--Performance Designs.
The tires are Continental Extreme Contact DWS 06 255/45R20.
There are no issues with rubbing and I love the look.

And on a sour note, the PTU went out and is not being covered under warranty due to the oversized wheels and tires to a tune of approximately $1,800. Ouch

oemautoparts.com sells the 84.N units along with the activation code. I believe they run about $1,300 but they are plug and play.

Great post with a lot of valuable information. I knew the calipers are "very" close to the factory wheels with the 40 offset. What I didn't realize was that such a small change to a 38 would cause an issue. I have seen the wheels I want in both 40 & 37. I would have assumed either would work since there is very little difference but now I will definitely make sure that I go with the 40
Thanks for the post and the reply.

Both the 235/45R20 and the 245/45R20 are 0.2" different from the stock 17" tires. However, when compared to the stock 19" tires the 245/45R20 is 0.1" smaller while the 235/45R20 is 0.5" smaller.
Both of these sizes would read 0.5% MPH different on the speedo from the stock 17" tires (0.3 MPH difference at 60 MPH) while the 245/50R20 would running 4.2% MPH faster than what the speedo read (2.5 MPH difference at 60 MPH)
Overall Overall
Stock sizes Diameter 20" sizes Diameter
225/65R17 28.5" 235/45R20 28.3"
225/55R19 28.8" 245/45R20 28.7"
245/50R20 29.7"
I think that is why most people end up going with the 245/45R20. It is as close as you can get to the stock OD (compared to both the stock 17" & stock 19") and there is a pretty good selection of tires in that size.
Discount Tire has 2 options for the 235/45R20 ($170-$200), 25 options for the 245/45R20 ($140-$351) and 14 options for the 245/50R20 ($130-2$29).
I am just trying to get more of an "SUV" look to the Journey rather than the "mini-van" look that I feel it has now.
Price is another reason I am leaning toward the 245/50R20. I am considering the Falken Pro G4 AS ($131) and the Yokohama Parad Spec-X ($169).These same tires in the 245/45R20 are $160 & $187 respectively.
