Thanks @Discount Tire, @VibeMotorsports and @markboris for the info! I got my setup and I went with Blaque Diamond BD-23 on Toyos 265/35/22.
I Think this is what I'm missing to fall in love with my GT again. 22's how does it ride if i may ask?Thanks @Discount Tire, @VibeMotorsports and @markboris for the info! I got my setup and I went with Blaque Diamond BD-23 on Toyos 265/35/22.
I love those wheels. I really wish they made them in a 20" with the proper offset.2022 Mache GT
Wheels are HRE FF10 22” in Liquid Metal - 22x9.5 +35
Tires 265/35/r22
I think those tires would fit but are considerably taller and much higher load rating than the factory tire. With those 7.5" wide 19" 245/50/19 is a better choice if you had an 8.5" rim a 275/45/19 would be cool. I added a chart for Euro Metric sizes showing how much PSI should go into the tire based on its load index. This chart is for Euro Metric tire sizes, not to be confused with p-metric (easy to tell the difference P-metric say P225/55/19 103H Euro Metric don't have the P before the size)Hello all,
New to Mach E Forum and this is my first post!
I've been reading every post on this thread to try and come up with plan for changing out my wheels and tires. I'm changing them for two reasons:
Primary: I need at least 6in of ground clearance to get over the incline to my garage and the Mach E Select has 5.7in
Secondary: Looks and handling
My current setup: (OEM)
2023 Mach E Select AWD
Wheels 18x7 48mm offset, 5x108 bolt pattern 63.4mm bore
Tires 225/60r18 Michelin Primacy A/S 104H XL
Proposed setup: (would be square)
Wheels Fast Wheels Ev01+, 19x8.5 with 40mm offset, 5x108 bolt pattern 63.4mm bore
Tires 265/50/r19 Michelin CrossClimate2 110V XL (Fits 7.5 to 9.5in wide wheel, so I could go with the 19x7.5 44 offset Ev01+ as well).
The difference in diameter is 21mm or 0.82in, meaning I would gain 0.4in of ground clearance to a total of 6.1in. After plugging the numbers into a fitment calculator the diameter variance is 2.9%, and according to what I've read the variance should remain less than 3% or there will be ABS, and traction control problems.
I chose the wheels because from what I read the aero wheel should decrease the loss of range that I will get with wider and taller tires and wheels; they also won't break the bank.
What do you guys think? Will the proposed setup fit without poke (4cm difference between 225 to 265, plus the 7.5mm difference in wheel offset), or rubbing on wheelwell, suspension, breaks, components/fender? Will this ruin the car or at the least make ride and handling worse?
Any concerns or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
My aftermarket wheels require the acorn style lugs nuts as they are able to use the OEM lugs if wanted. That said, these are the ones I have used in the past.A few questions to those with aftermarket wheels.
What lug nuts are you folks with aftermarket wheels using? There seem to be 2 different styles.
The "Acorn" or "Cone" style .
The 'flat washer" style.
For the thread is M14x1.5 the correct thread pitch?
I want to use metal black valve stems and will be using the stock TPMS sensors. Is there a particular style of valve stems I need?
Why wouldn't you buy them again? What issues did you have with them? They have been on my car for almost 30K miles. They fit well and besides them loosing some of their glossy shine, they are still all black.
I live in Minnesota these aftermarket painted lug nuts rust big time.
I can see that. Have not had that issue here in AZ with lug nuts rusting. I have some (not the same ones) aftermarket lugs on my Tacoma with no rust issues ether.
