20" wheels on road trip

Looking to take a road trip from Seattle to Minneapolis pretty soon. Going to take mostly 90 and 95. I have 20" wheels with 35 series up front and 30 series out back. Never taken this setup on a long road trip, we usually take a truck or "normal" car on road trips because you never know what you might run into.

A little bit concerned about hitting a big seam or crack on a road trip far away from home and losing a wheel/tire.

I have driven all over WA state with this setup and no issues yet, but I worry I may run into a stretch of road that is in terrible condition and will regret having 20's. What do you guys think? I can switch out to my OEM 18's but they have the stock tires on them that tramline and drive me nuts on the freeway. With my 20's my car drives like a dream.

I have driven from to NJ to MS 4 times. I never had a problem. Same ratio and size. You will have a pucker when encountering rough and uneven terrain. I did have a few hard uneven bridge plate connections hit that scared me.

Driven on nasty gravel roads in Montana going to a wedding driving from Seattle.

This was with my car lowered too.

No issues.

Just have aaa and a good cell phone since carrying a spare is not happening.
