Hello there,

I am from OdyClub, dropping by to see if anyone local to me that has a set of OEM 20' for sale.

There is a long going thread with everyone showing off their Odyssey with Passport and Pilot rims, I want to join the bandwagon and upgrade from 18' to 20'.

Mods, if I violated any rules, I apologize in advance, PM me and I will remove my posting.

Welcome to the PP show.
Lots of 20" wheels for sale here.
They look extra good on lowered Ody's.
Check out the for sale section.

Good luck.

My advice is don't use the OEM 20 inch wheels, they are really bad. Very stiff, bumpy and mediocre braking as well (OEM Continenal LX Sport is very poor in my opinion). Try 20 inch from Pirelli Scorpion AS-3 or Michelin SUV CrossTek if you care for comfortable ride, road noise, good traction and good braking.

Great Advice, Thanks!

I do plan on going 255/45/20 if I am able to purchase a set.
My friendly take on this....Let me give you comparison chart for your 18 inch vs 20 inch below. I think you are reducing your tire profiles with the new 20 inch. That will cause stiff ride and it will likely result in less than comfortable ride compared to your existing 18 inch. Your may even subject your new rims to curb rash on a higher probability. Try using the tire size calculating website to get better cushioning (higher profile without sacrificing ride quality)

They look better on an Odyssey than they do on a Passport (IMO)...

So I logged onto the OdyClub forum posting my 20” OEM wheels being up for sale and was abruptly removed, yet someone from that site can login here looking to purchase some.

Huh ? The way I seen it is OdyClub, PassPort, Accordforum, S2K etc are all Honda/Acura clubs/forum why not help each other out in selling or buying products especially OEM products.

I joined that Ody Club several years ago (2015), when I considered buying one. Like most forums, they make you post a certain number of times, before they give you access to their classified section.
I'm going over there to see if I can post a link to our "For Sale" section.

Well, it's up on ODYCLUB dot com , for now at least.

Are you 2007mdx on Odyclub, I believe the mod already relaxed the requirement for new members on classified.

I just learned that higher trims on Passport sport 265/45/R20 and lower trims have 245/50/R20 tires (which are desirable for Ody).
The rims are 1/2" wider on the Touring and the Elite. The overall height is 29.6"
The Ody overall height is 29.1" . That 1/4" at 12 O'clock and 1/4" at 6 O'clock won't mess up your speedometer.
Here's a link from the passportforums site, with specs: Passport wheel specs

It seems fashionable to get the wider rims.

Another feature of the 20" Passport rim is the built in sound dampening, but it is pre-calibrated to the Passport tire sizes. If you get a shorter or taller overall tire height, the sound dampening will be effected.

Yes. I bought an MDX instead of the Ody, because the MDX didn't have VCM. I have defeated the VCM on my 2019 Passport Touring, with the VCM Tuner ii

Took me roughly 2 days and test driving 3 different Odyssey and 2 different 2021 Passport to understand what you meant.

Its not bad per say, it could benefit from better tires and more sidewall. The 20x8 rims on the lower trims has more sidewall which dampers the ride and smooths it out a bit over bumps and road imperfection. The 265 (20x8.5) corners like a champ and I barely have to brake to enter any turns but suffers when you hit any pothole, uneven pavement or get near any curbs.

However using better tires and rubber to counteract that on an heavy Odyssey will only chew up the tire more.

As my Ody is not lowered and have no airlift suspensions, I felt the harshness of the road with only 2 passengers going over a speed bump.

Test drove on Odyclub members Van both airlift suspension and lower springs and shock, it doesn't feel the same, its actually pretty smooth on 245/50R20 tho the speedbump and pophole issue still apply and even more so, As I transport my family of 5 daily and for travel, ride quality is my primary concern. Will be sticking to OEM 235/60/R18. Thanks for the awesome Advice, I need to bang my head on the wall before I learn my lesson. :LOL:

TLDR: 20' rims have a lot to overcome

(Joke of the Day, Honda Passport Sales was extra attentive when he guide me thru a right turn)
