Mach-E Aftermarket wheel and tire information and pictures

[harrysiii]

Can someone tell me what offset I would be looking to order?

I have a GTPE and looking at getting 20x9 wheels all around with the stock summers (245/45R20).

In order to make these new wheels come a little further outward (maybe half and inch, and still clear the brake components), would I go with a 40 offset? I'm totally clueless, no matter how much I try reading on this. I'm pretty sure I have it correct that stock is 20x8 and 47.5 offset.

Lastly, this is a 5x108 bolt pattern, right?

Thank you!

Edit: Although these look awesome, the pop out a little too far past the vehicle for me. So what offset would this be, and which direction would it need to be adjusted to bring them in a little more? https://www.macheforum.com/site/thr...re-information-and-pictures.7258/#post-210181)

Probably a good idea to get people's aftermarket wheel/tire size/specs etc with pictures so everyone looking to do fitments can review.

I'll start with my setup:
20x9 +38 with a 245/45/20 and 20x10.5 +45 295/40/20
Ride quality has definitely improved as well as handling, range is down a little bit but we haven't really driven it much yet.
Long term I'll be switching to a 20x10 +50 in the rear and probably move to a 275/40 and 245/45 staggered setup due to the plan to lower it

would the 20x9 +38 offset clear everything in the GTPE? Any concerns (related to post just before this)?

Sorry everyone...I completely forgot all about this website: https://www.willtheyfit.com/

Looks like I should be okay with 35 or 38 offset in that arrangement. :-D

Ok, so I called CarID and they told me they don't see a 20*9 fitting on my GTPE without possibly rolling the front fenders. I'll call variant directly, but has anyone else with a GTPE had any rubbing issues running 20*9 up front? I haven't seen any concerns on this forum yet. I was thinking offset 35, but maybe even up to 38.

lol, there are like...a ton of us in this thread with 20x9 wheels from ET35 to ET45 and no issues with 255/45R20.

Here is my car with 20x9.5 front, 20x10.5 rear wheels and 255/45/20 front, 285/40/20 rear tires with no issues. Terrance (Signature Wheels) wanted to do a shoot with his wheels on the right side of my car, the left side had my wheels and tires (same size and make tires, different wheels). All of these photos are the right side of my car with his wheels. #84

Your fender wheel arches are ABS plastic, not metal. Can't roll 'em, but you could cut the inner lips off pretty easily...

I ended up ordering Variant's Xenon Satin Black in 20x9 square. +38. Thanks for all the help!

I saw a gentlemen on youtube run a very aggressive set up. I absolutely love it and would like to replicate it. No one seems to have done anything similar though. There are square Ferrada Fr4 10.5 rims with 275/40/20s and 3mm spacers. apparently there is no rubbing or other issues.
Thoughts?

The thing is, you can run quite large sized wheels and tires on the Mach-E however it comes with a certain amount of poke. I personally do not like poke at all. I know quite a few members here are like me in that regard. The trick for me is to get a decent sized tire that will not interfere with suspension or the wheel wells and has no poke (flush with the fender molding or in a bit).

On my Premium I had 295/40/20 in the rear and and 265/45/20 in the front. That was the max I could go in the rear without any rubbing and it was a flush fit (no poke). The front had a bit more room for me to play with. Right now on my GT I am running 285/40/20 rear and 255/45/20 front because I wanted a different type of tire and those were the sizes I had to go with. I am working on building a square setup with 275/35/21 all around. That will get me the max size I can go in the front without poke and while I would like something larger in the rear, I want a square setup this time.

I am picking this size tire because it is the same size diameter as OEM but much wider and above all, it has to do with the type of tire I can get in that size. Pirelli makes a P-Zero Elect PNCS tire specifically for EV cars in that size used by Porsche for the Taycan and the Tesla Model S. Not only are they low rolling resistance tires but also are acoustically quieter. Michelin also makes their Pilot Sport EV Acoustic tire in this size, however it is not available yet in the US, only in Europe and other countries as of now. I have put this project aside for a bit as I have others I need to work on but hopefully by summer should have it completed.

Looking forward to seeing this. What width are you planning to use for the 21" wheels?

I am going with a 9.5" width wheel. 9" is the narrowest recommend for that tire size but going a bit wider. I don't want to go really wide as I don't like the looks of a stretched sidewall and auto manufactures that are using this size tire are also using 9.5" wide wheels.

One thing I didn't like about my 9.5" on my last car, although they handled very well, was that it seemed to want to wobble over all the tire groves in the road. They must be ever so slight because you can't visually see them, but you can feel them pull the car around at times.
