Just remamber your going to lose alot of preformance with 20's, acceleration, breaking and handling will all suffer. But I guess it could be a good thing you will have about 2" more ground clearance.

Brother, an 8.5" wide wheel on a FWD car sound really wide, you mite want to check if you can even turn the front wheels with that.

@2coff: Maybe I could get some Rims with a width of 7.5". But I got an e-mail from Dodge and they said that 20x8.5 would fit. And I don't worry about the performance. I bought a Diesel; 140 BHP and 310 Nm Torque (did I spell that right?) (chiped + performance upgrade: 176BHP and 420 Nm)

@kane: The problem is, that in Germany you are not allowed to have Rims with two different diameters.

So, i got a solution. First is : 19" 8,5 with 225/45/19 and second is 20" 8 with 245/35/20. On tire rack they say, that 20 will fit in, so i search for any wheels in this size in Europe. Thanks a lot for ANY advices! Soon i will post some pictures.

In the UK my SXT Sport came from Dodge with 215 55 18 tyres, which are roughly 8.5" wide.
The other UK models come with 215 60 17's

So it must be OK then...
