Default 2002 Acura MDX wheel & tire help!

Ok fellas here's my situation, I drive an 02 MDX and she's been looking for some shoes lately. I have been thinking between 2 options:

1. 20" Avarus AV5

2. 19" Volks TE-37
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...anium+Gunmetal

What do you guys think? I know there's a big price difference, but that's no biggy. I am though, leaning towards the AV5 because they are cheaper. What tire size would you guys recommend? I know the will be a big ride difference between the two. If someone really helps me out with this, I don't mind sending $$ their way.

Here's a Pilot that is influencing me to go with the Volks:


Please guys, help me bring the fashion to the MDX!

The Tire Rack recommends 255/50-19 for the 19" wheels, and 265/45-20 for the 20" wheels.

Some recommend 255/45-20 for the 20", what would be the difference between 255 and 265?

I'm pretty sure I'm going with the AV5 wheels though, just trying to figure out what tire size I should get.

10.

Actually, you're right; 255/45-20 has exactly the same outer diameter as the stock tire size (235/65-17) so it would appear to be a better fit. I don't know why they suggest 265 instead of 255. I would get the 255.
