I did consider the 21 and 22...
I talked myself out of it. When I put all the pro's and con's together, not going larger was the right call for me.
I think 21 or 22 would look good, but only if the wheels were a little less open. The front is perfect, but the rear caliper/rotor is a little small on the Mach E. I think mine are one the verge of weird with the small rear caliper and rotor. The good thing on mine is the front looks so good no one even mentions the rear.
I also wanted to keep the outside wheel diameter as close the the original wheel diameter as possible just because I didn't want to have to recalibrate the ADAS systems on the vehicle right now. especially since i know there are some software updates coming from Ford.
I still like the idea of dropping the suspension, and need a little wiggle room to be able to do that.
Finally, I the most important reason. I had to run Michelin PS4S 245/45/20 tires.... I live in Minneapolis. 45 is as thin as I wanted to go on the sidewall. With the potholes here Minnesota I really didn't want to risk destroying a wheel I was investing so much in.
