I'm looking at the same size of rim (20 X 8.5), but the site is telling me to use 235/45/R20 to match the stock size 18 wheels.

I'd prefer to have more rubber than the above size, do you have an issues with rubbing, etc?

No rubbing whatsoever. I'd go for the taller rubber like 235/50/20 or 255/45/20 to better fill in the wheel well.

Beachtyme If you go with the taller 20" wheel you will change the revolutions the tires make and it will have a minor impact on your speedometer. Not much. Using the 235/45/20 is what is called +2
You go 2" larger on the wheel and 2" lower on the profile of the tire.

Correct. Mine on 265/35/22 is larger by 2.4% over OEM 225/60/18 which means speedo/odometer read slower than actual. An acceptable limit is within 3%.

What is your wheel and tire setup? I have a 2020 that is in severe need of some new shoes. This setup looks perfect!
