Mach-E Aftermarket wheel and tire information and pictures

[mkhuffman]

Wow. Thanks for the info. Your setup is lighter than I thought that it would be. What do you think is the primary contributor to your 10% range hit?

With just the eye ball test, the new tires are sooo much wider,(especially the rear 295), and they are also a little taller than OE set. I'm sure there is an engineer on here someone that can give the scientific answer. Probably takes more energy per rotation of the tire. You also have to consider you will now be paying 10% more each day, which I didn't initially consider. But it looks great, rides much better, and next time just do either 255-265 all around to see if I can get it to a 3%-5% range hit. To be honest, if you go 245's that would probably do the trick, but that's why I like this forum where you can get feedback from many other setups. To each their own. At least I have a Mach e to experiment with

I have done some research into this and tire width probably has a minor impact. Rolling resistance and wheel aerodynamics are likely why you are seeing a 10% hit. I am willing to bet you see a 1% improvement with narrower tires, assuming you use the same tires. If you get a low rolling resistance tire, you might knock of 5% of the hit. The other 5% is probably because the wheel is not aerodynamic.

All this depends on the speed you are driving. At less than 25 mph, your wheels probably don't negatively impact range. At 70 mph, they definitely do. Rolling resistance impacts range at all speeds. Weight has almost no impact. Weight only impacts energy needed to accelerate, but some of that penalty is captured with regen braking.

Hey guys, great photos in here...what do y'all think about these?

Wow, that looks really, really good.

Just threw the new rims and rubber on my wife’s 4X and thought I’d share here. Wheels are all 45 offset. Tires are Continental EC DWS-06 in 255/45-20. Each wheel/tire combo weighs 57 lbs, which is 3 lbs less than the OEM Premium wheels with the summer tire option.

Hey guys, My GTPE just left the factory. I would really like to get a set of winter tires and SMALLER rims on her before I even touch the car. Any suggestions for clearing those Brembos with 19" or even 18" wheels?

Measure the caliper-to-wheel clearance on a GTPE with 20's. I very much doubt that smaller rims will clear the calipers on the front.

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

Looks great, I am looking for a non Chinese wheel for my GTPE, do you know where those were made?

Hello, whenever you get a chance, could you post a pic of this set up head on, so I can see what it looks like under the fender and wheel well? Just trying to get an idea of the fitment, I got the exact same set up for my new wheels. 255 45 20s 45 offset, my wheel is an 8.5 inch though. Any additional pics would be appreciated!

Hers are 20x8.5” as well. I had that in the title of my original post but the admin took it down to merge it into this thread. Perfect fitment if you ask me. ?

Oh heck yeah this is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for providing this pic! Yeah I agree I think it’s a really nice fit but wasn’t sure until now. I’ve seen plenty of people with 245s on 9 inch wheels, and various other combos, but not the exact one that I purchased. Looks great! I got a Space white as well, love this color.

Looks very cool. Any range impact?

They weren't losing 10% by changing the wheels...they were losing 10% by switching to stickier summer tires. The standard tires on the Mach-E optimize the range, not the traction. Softer tire rubber gives you better handling, traction and stopping power, but wears faster and has more rolling resistance. The GTPE's softer summer rubber gives it 10 miles less range than the GT's stiffer all-season rubber.

The summer rubber and of course the lack of aero covers.


My GTPE is DMG. I'm still shopping for wheels. Considering the Savini BM14 but really have trouble deciding between gloss black and double dark tint (or TSW Neptune in semi gloss black - although those bronze look very nice!). I haven't seen a pic with a DMG and double dark tint yet.

Finally got a chance to give my car a bath after getting my new wheels and tires. Really love the ride with these tires and the look of the wheels.

Wheels
Niche Targa M130 double dark tint
20x8.5 +40

Tires
Continental Extrem contact DWS06+
255/45ZR20

Can’t tell, temps have gotten into the 40/50s here during the day after a warmer than usual December had lots of 70s/80s.

Long time lurker. Finally made the move to update the wheels.

Variant Xenon Satin Black 20 x 9 +38. 255/45r20 Continental Extreme Contact. Pleased with the outcome so far.

 

[harrysiii]

I was wondering...some wheels don't come 20x8.5, only 20x9 and up.....can I go 20x9 with my stock summer tires (GTPE) or will that lower the diameter too much? Is there an online calculator that will let you input both the new rim size and tire size? I haven't found one. Thanks!!
