Just a simple swap? No rubbing? How's the ride? Can you recalibrate the speedometer? C'mon, tell us the details.....I like your pics.

Simple swap and the tire pressure monitoring sensor. Beautiful ride....no rubbing. Tire height is almost the same.

Very nice looking! I actually thought about what that would look like before I bought my CX-7. I now want to do the same!

Actually looks pretty good!!

Notice any performance difference with the bigger wheels?

The performance has not changed from what I can tell. It still feels like its wearing the 18's!

Anyone check the rolling distance difference which will effect acelleration & speedometer error?

You just changed the rims and kept the stock CX-7 tires?

no, the wheel size are different, so you need new tires. I think otnielarencibia's wheels came with stock cx-9 245/50/20 tires. I got a set of pirelli's, also 245/50/20.

the wheels you see on this thread are the 20" wheels from cx-9 gt, they are 20 x 7.5.
