• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I have a EX with 20" wheel package. I looked in the owners manual and see that the width of the wheels are 7.5". If I am looking at after market wheels that are 8.5", would I need new tires too or do tires have a range of widths that they can accommodate? In my 20 years of owning vehicles, I've never changed out wheels so this is new to me.

EDIT- Tires are 245/50 R20

You should be fine: 20x8.5 on 245/50 R20 Tire Size

But if you are swapping the wheels you do want to pay attention to the hub diameter. You may require hub centric rings to make sure they mount correctly.
