Well, according to tirerack.com, their recommendation for the CX-7, 20" is 245/45-20 which is what I put on my ride.

According to http://www.1010tires.com/TireSizeCalculator.asp?action=submit

255/45/20 has a diameter difference of .25%
245/45/20 has a diameter difference of 1.45%

I'm sure either would work fine though. I believe 255/45/20 has a larger selection of tires.

I'm curious to see if 20x8.5's stick out of the sides. My 20x8's come pretty close to sticking out of the wheel wells. What offset are they?

They stick out about 3/4 to 1" (dunno) but they look much better than the stock wheels

PS: they stick out with the cx-7 raised and not touching the ground, as soon you put in the graound it will not stick as much but I think this wheels will be on the 1/4"-1/2" stick out
