Vossen HF-4T 21" inch wheels installed

[Mike_Denmark]

Hey there. After lidt of thoughts and research this is what I ended up with…

21” x 9 flat surface in front
21” x 9.5 curved on rears

tires are Pirelli P-Zero’s 255/35 all around.
When keeping speed limits here - no change in range however, 10-15% drop if driving a bit sporty ??

Every time I see a wheel & tire package, I think damn....I just might have to lower this thing a bit.

 

[Mike_Denmark]

You are so right - but speed bumps and unfortunately also conditions of our roads here, made me decide not to lower my little pony. And quite stif on 21”/255/35’s but I agree - just an inch or 1.5 would look amazing.

Mikkel, those wheels look great. Very classy.

I do have a question about the tire size you chose though. How did you come to running 255/35/21's? This tire size does not have the minimum load rating that Ford requires for the Mach-E. The proper minimum tire size you should be running is 275/35/21. That would give you the minimum 103 load rating required by Ford. The 275's will fit on your 9" and 9.5" wheels.

Those wheels are sharp!!

I have seen a few aftermarket wheels on the MME and was totally unimpressed but these are something I would consider if/when I would make a switch.

The ev version of the P zero has a higher load index - and is made for heavy girls like the Mach E. It’s quite more expensive, but made to accommodate the higher load.
You can find “cheap” P zeros and quite expensive ones. The expensive ones cover the load factor for ev’s and heavy girls.

thanks - I’ve - even before receiving our Mach E- been so keen the Vossen Rims. They advertised version is 22” where mine are 21”. Simply to have a nice ride and not loosing too much range and tires at 22’s are way more expensive here.
Anyways- I got the look from amazing Vossen and with Pirelli P-zero especially made for EV’s. Yes they are expensive though so far worth every penny ? and make the switch- you will not regret ?

I'm familiar with Pirelli tires and know that the their XL rated 255/35/21 P Zero's have a load riding of 98 and some of their EV P Zeros that are HL rated have a 101 load rating. The Mach-E should have tires with a minimum load rating of 103. So do your tires have a load rating of 103?

I quite agree.

They compliment the car, style, colour and everything beautifully.

You’re not alone when being unimpressed by some wheel styles, colour combinations etc.

Interesting that Denmark also suffers the blight of speed humps in the road. What good drivers have to be subjected to for the sake of those who have no regard for safety of other road users ?

May I ask the reason to not just keep the size Forf recommends

No they are 101, and XL. so a little under 103, but still legal here. ?

Cuz - I wanted a different look than Ford offers if you meant the rims and ET.

 

[Mike_Denmark]

Actually according to my registration on the car I could even do with 98. But then again Denmark - I can’t even have it bumped up to tow more than 750 KG, without getting it for inspection, raise of insurance etc. on top if towing my gilder you need a special permit on your drivers license- so my wife can drive it with the glider if I have it on tow. But the second I cross the border to Germany she can ?

Wow, Mikkel! Those wheels look awesome on such a stunning Mach-E! Thanks for sharing.

255/35 doesn´t have the right load, i am quite sure

Forget, this was already mentioned, i had to go with 265 to have 105 of load, 101 will not be a problem, i drove with 245/40 for almost 2 years and no problems, 100Y
