20" Wheels (Ravetti) and 245/45/R20 Continental Tires installed

[Maveriac]

I have kept my Hot Pepper Red Maverick XLT in quarantine for close to 2 Months but couldn't resist temptation any longer. I pulled the trigger on a set of 20X8.5" Ravetti M8 Wheels and Continental DWS 006 Plus tires in 245/45/R-20.

I had hoped some manufacturer would have a 2" or so lowering kit or springs available before I did the tires and wheels. Not yet. It looks okay for now, but I will drop it as soon as the kit becomes available.

If you are shopping for replacement wheels for your Maverick I will tell you that you will know far more than any of the people I talked to about fitment. I have a slight advantage because I was in the tire and wheel business for 35 years. Anyway, do your homework before buying; especially if you buy on-line. It will save you a bunch of grief.

One thing I forgot to photograph and attach is the polished stainless steel tailgate letter insertsI got at Platinum Ford in Terrell. They really catch your eye and keep people from asking "what is that truck".

Before and AFTER pictures attached.

Looks fantastic, I'd love to see that tailgate lettering. The polished stainless lettering is the one esthetic mod I am considering. It will look so sharp on black.

Definitely not my cup of tea but I’m glad you like them!

Lower the rear 1 inch and it will look perfect.

Not bad...

Thanks for the comments as always.
I have pictures of the polished stainless tailgate letters. It was a toss up whether to do the polished or platinum. If you want to see the platinm letters a guy did a YouTube of the installation on a Hot Pepper Red Maverick. Either way looks great !

Generally, I'm not a fan of going with a larger 20" wheels, but damn, they look good on your Maverick.

I must have this on my truck when it arrives next week... I have the Carbonized Grey though, so I am torn on a chrome/stainless steel or black lettering.

How much do the wheels weigh?

 

[Maveriac]

I believe they were 28 lbs each. It wasn’t published. I had to ask.
the finished product looks better than the internet pictures.

[rupzuk]

Looks great, what was the offset/back spacing on those rims?
