Wheel and tire sizes and recommendations

[SeanB]

While I wait to get my black, '15 non-PP SHO back from the dealership, I am wondering about wheels. I have non-PPO rims that are a little scuffed and would make good winter rims.

With that in mind, any recommendations for lighter-weight rims that look great on a black SHO? (I am not into chrome.)

Also, what size are the rims (I know 20-inch)? What are the offset and width, for example?

Currently, I have 245/45 ZR20 Tiger Paw GTZ all-seasons on there (installed by the dealer pre-purchase). (I did try searching the forums, found a fascinating thread on a Bronco II, and others, but not really what I was after.)

Cheers,

Sean

For frame of reference, stock 20" wheels are 20x8 +39 offset and tires are 245/45r20. I would look at 20x9 +35 with 275/40r20 to ensure no rubbing and to get the widest tire possible and also to keep the option to rotate the tires. Personally looking at a set of black Rohana RFX11 wheels.

Fantastic reply, thank you. Do you happen to know the bolt pattern?

No need at all to say sorry. I appreciate the very quick response to all my questions! Thank you.

Forgot to mention the hub size is 63.4 so if you go larger, make sure to get hub rings made. Plastic or metal is fine. Will prevent vibrations and load on the studs.

If you want to go real aggressive, go with 20x9.5” 30mm offset with the 275/40/20 tire. The fronts will poke a bit. There are pics of this setup on forum.
Just giving you another option.
I just grabbed a set of Ferrada F8-FR6’s in Matte Graphite 20x9, 35mm offset so I can use the stock Michelin rubber. They will be stretched ever so slightly on the 9” wheel.

Won't the 20x9.5 setup tires rub when turning the wheel.

I've seen a few fit 20x10 on coilovers

What is the weight of a factory 20x8.5 wheel? 40 lbs.?
