Hello all I've seen a few post stating that there may be a fitment difference on RWD & AWDs? Im looking at 20s and would hate to buy something that won't work.. can anyone chime in on this?

I'm not sure if there is any difference but a local Ford dealer put on 20 inches 8.5J 245/45 on a demo car. I know a couple of guys who test drove it and all mentioned the drive went very well and even couldn't complain on the comfort.

Pretty sure if you stay with 8.0 to 8.5J with 245/45's you're all fine. At least i'm going for those on my RWD when it arrives at the end of this month (i hope...)

A 9% wider tire vs 225/55 will reduce mileage. I think the stock Premium trim 19” wheels look nice.

All indications are that the hub sizes are the same, same spacing, same wheel part numbers. I don’t think there is any difference on wheel fitment between the RWD, AWD, GT and GTPE variants.
