A/T tires on CX-7 with 20" rims???

[bassboy86]

I know this may sound like a strange request but does anyone have any brand/size or pics of an A/T tire on a CX-7?? (Pics would be great as I still am in the process of selling this idea to the wife!)

I'm looking to get 20" rims on mine, but both because of the rural roads I live on (and the wife) lowering my CX-7 is not an option.

I do want big rims and to fill up the wheel wells as best as possible but need good year round traction as well. I was thinking something like 255/55/20?? will this fill up the wheel gap or is there a bigger/taller size that would be better?

I do not plan on taking the CX-7 off road, the roads here actually ride well just get muddy & slippery in wet weather.

I have heard talk to all terrain or very high traction (not snow specific) tires for 20" but not having much luck finding them in my area. (mostly tractors and big trucks here) Help Please!

255/55/20? I think you need to review the rolling diameter of the different sizes. I'm not sure you have enough power to reasonably move the car with the tires you are talking about.

Any thoughts to a 22" rim and smaller but well treaded tire?
If only i could lower it without the wife noticing!

Any one ever saw a CX-7 with A/T tires on 18" wheels ??? I am wondering how it would looks like... can't wait to buy my CX-7 soon !
