20" wheels? Are you sure they will fit?

I am not sure what colour your van it - the colour reproduction on web pages is not always to be trusted. Is that a very dark red?

I can't confirm 20's, but 19's fit my 2011 with zero problems. Photo attached but mostly hidden by our new Jeep (photo from the Jeep forums).

Well I feel stupid. I went out to get the tire size and wouldn't ya know - they're 20's. So... I CAN confirm that 20's fit. Sorry for that - I have too many cars and got mixed up on what the van had. The tires are: 245/45/ZR20. I'll look for some better photos.

I must have transferred all the van photos to an external HD. Here is another shot of the van in one of my youtube videos. Fast forward to .17 seconds for a view of the van.

What will putting 20" wheels on a GC do to the accuracy of the speedometer and to the fuel economy and DTE calculations?

I am guessing the speed will be reading very low - is that correct?

If so, is there any way to correct this?

Going with a lower profile tire helps, but it will still read low MPH. I'll GPS it vs speedo it & see. One of the other guys said it was about 3 mph @ 60 MPH, so it won't be too bad.


BTW, I did go with the OEM color & will probably put Hankook 245/45 ZR20s on them.
