Didn’t want to make a whole new thread so figured I’d post here. I’m 99% sure I’m buying these used wheels tomorrow morning. They’re 20x9 +38 offset. 2 good tires at 245/35/20, 2 will need replaced so I assume I can buy new summer tires and make it work. Do you know how well these will fit on an X sedan? Not lowered currently, but will probably get a good set of coils soon. Also Recommendations on a tire size(s) that will work well with awd with those 20s?
Hate making a newbie post after I’ve tore into this car inside and out over 4yrs, but I know nothing about wheels/tires lol. I know my fitment in 18s n 19s, but recently considered 20s and a few days later a nice set pops up locally. Advice is appreciated, thanks.
20s wil give you a very limited choice of tire sizes. More than likely will be 35 as far as height goes. Lower than 35 can be loud/annoying on 20s and very likely wont look good unless it's dropped. Along with possibly 10lbs+
Research tire sizes and affordability on your end, fitting wheels on a G can be expensive once you lower you'll will start wearing forcing you to look into suspension parts.
In my opinion, 20s can be problematic on AWD as it requires a decent drop for it to look good, something the front axles dont like.

This is what my X looked like on 20's not lowered with tiny brakes. 255/35/20 tires on 20x8.5 wheels. It's not a very good look, and I will tell ya, they ride rough. You feel every tiny bump in your lower back. It took a bunch of mods to get it to look good after, but the ride quality only goes down. Also, low profile tires are notorious for losing air when you hit something really hard. I had to chase the city to replace a tire on 2 separate occasions when I hit a pothole.
This is what it looked like after lowering, 15mm spacers, camber and toe arms, a set of new shocks to replace the blown ones, and an alignment. Even after I got it looking nice, I went with 18"s. Much more comfy, and don't have to worry about blowing a tire going over a speedbump.

Yeah I know they will look off without being lowered, but I was already planning to spend ~$1.5k on suspension. These will save me another $1-1.5k compared to the wheels I was planning on so that can be worked into the budget as well. What are you lowered on in that bottom pic? Your car looks great.
I think I’m still going for them. If the ride becomes too much I’ll just put them on my rogue and get 19s. I just really like how the sedans look on 19s or 20s.
The cars 10yrs old as well (72k) so I figured some suspension components are wearing down anyways, might as well replace it correctly while everything is still working so I can return to stock whenever the time comes and recoup some costs. Appreciate the input.
I was looking through my phone, pulled a few similar angles out side-by-side. It's pretty dramatic. How the wheels affect the perception of brake size.
