Higher sidewall tires for 2021 SX with 20" rims

[thundercake]

Wife busted a tire because we have the lovely looking low profile tires with the Nightfall 20" rims. Has anyone had success putting a thicker tire on these rims? Currently has the Michelin Primacy 245/50/20s on it.

These are hardly low profile but get your point. Search the posts here as many have increased size but be aware that will require realignment as it's not simple like putting larger tires on a Wrangler. The foolproof method is to reduce the rim size and keep the same diameter by going with a different sized tire. For example, the 245 60 18 on the LX is essentially the same size as your 20s.

Tires just don't bust like you said. How did she manage to do it? Sometimes it's not the equipment.

If you increase sidewall without doing what @tpgh is suggesting you will have your speed display incorrectly.
