I prefer more rubber between my rims and the asphalt (at the expense of sharper cornering) because of bone jarring pot holes.
My MDX has a 5 x 120 lug pattern, as does my PP Touring AWD.
I have 17" aftermarket rims on my 2007 MDX with tires 235/65 x 17. They are 29.1" tall, 9.5" fat, and have a tread width of 7.5"
My OEM 18" MDX Sport rims are in storage, with tires 255/55 x 18. They are 29" tall, 10.4" fat, and have a tread width of 8.6"
My 2019 PP has 20" rims, with tires 265/45 x 20. They are 29.3" tall , 10.5" fat, and have a tread width of 8.5"
All of the measurements line up, but the 17" rims might not clear my PP suspension. Just for kicks, I will put the 17" rims & tires on my PP and see if the rims or tires rub.
My 18" rims will be fine on the PP, because many overlanders are using 18" rims and 30.5" tall tires and a 2" lift kit, but I'll buy snow tires instead. If I were to lift and go with Nitto Ridge Grappler tires (265/65 x 18 - 31.6" tall) my wife would have a fit. Actually, if I would have bought the 2019 CTR instead of the PP, I'd be typing this from a hotel.
