Has anyone done a 20" wheel upgrade on their 2017 Sportage LX? What tire size did you end up going for? I'd love to see pics! I'm unsure of where to start for this upgrade.

Im runnin 245 40 20s on My 2020 with no clearance issues and still rides decent. Not as well as a smaller rim but in return i get better handling

Should note they are 8.5" wide rims with a 35mm offset. Important to check whether ull have clearance with the rims u want.

I nousced your exhaust tips and trim from the picture and wondered if it was stock in your region or custom. Can you give a direct head on pic and explain what you did?
Also, not to thread jack here but what light bar did u use? Looking to get one eventually that'll fit. Was thinking 2 7"x1" from nilight. The front bumper slot is partially covered by my licence plate. Another note to the above responses is i feel my wheel setup has better handeling due to less side wall flex. Better grip and better braking. Would like to throw in tho that my rims/tires are 20lbs heavier than stock 17's.
It's a curved 37" E5-X from Provision, combo of spot and flood. Remembered it wrong, only 180W on that one (Have also straight 120W spot led bar behind the grille). My licence plate was also covering that slot, but I just placed it lower. Bumper needed tiny trimming on both ends of that slot to make it fit.

Here's a picture how I installed it above collision bar.

With 37" bar it is still adjustable without taking the bumper off.
Thanks! Good job!
