I see a lot of discussion regarding width, diameter, offset, etc. However, I have heard that the AWD has some unique limitations. Can someone PLEASE confirm what width, offset, and bolt pattern, along with the best size tire for performance the '06 AWD can accomodate? I can't find anything definitive on the forum so far. I'm thinking 245/45's, but would like to go a bit wider if possible.
Don't want to go 22's, and also don't want a lower profile in the interest of getting the best combination of ride comfort and performance. I'm just a bit confused as to how going from a stock 18/7.5 to a 20 / ? will work.
Don't know squat about this stuff, so any and all expertise will be apprecaited..thanks folks.

Another tire to use to gain width is a 275/40/20...We have done a number of these with no problems, assuming wheel offset is correct for the AWD...
