20's with 245/45R-20?

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

I think i have made my mind up with 20's over 19's on my 08 ex35 but im not a big fan of the rubber band tire look via 245/40 (+i dont want to touch suspension)

does anyone know if 45 will work?

anyone have picks with 20's they want to post? please also include tire specs

Thanks!

Well i went with 245/40-20 so that my wheel diameter didn't change... even if there was no rubbing issues on the 45's it would have increased diameter by over an inch, not the end of the world but skews the speedometer and such.

What do you guys think?

Thanks, i was torn b/w stock 20' and these ones for a while... but i could not be more pleased, the more i see these ones the better the car looks

the ride is very nice, and improvement all around (handling...) but there is a little more road noise, that may be a result of the brand of tire i chose?
