Hybrid Maverick with 18x8.5 ET38 wheels and 255/55/R18 Nitto Ridge Grappler All Terrain A/T Tires

[flyjum]

Have had several people in other mavericks ask me about the wheels at gas stations and other places. Then I remembered I forgot to make a post on here when I got these wheels and tires 9 months ago. The tire size is perfect with zero rubbing or any other issues at all. Speedometer is exactly spot on correct now as the tires are very slightly taller vs the stock size but the speedo was very slightly running too fast in from the factory. Road noise is a little worse but it is not bad at all. MPG is down by around 10% from the factory tires most noticeable if driving at high speed. I got under 30 mpg average driving to vegas from phoenix and back at 75-85 mph on two separate trips. My MPG average is ~32 after 5500 miles with 80% or more highway driving at 75-80 mph. Summer hot weather with max AC kills the MPG a bit too.

I am not a fan of bronze colored wheels but those look pretty good on your Carbonized Grey truck!
I like the wheel style and the tail gate letters help to bring it all together.
Nice!

That looks great, nice and beefy. Nice touch with matching the Maverick letters on the tailgate too.

Looks great! But those hybrid mpg are going to suffer .

That looks really nice. Excellent fitment. Form over function for sure for the hybrid, but I like it. I can't wait to order new wheels and tires.

Did you add a plate on to cover yours up or is your plate number actually EXAMPLE? That's awesome if so!

Not sure what you were averaging PRE wheels and tires but compared to what others are getting with their hybrids I'd say you're looking at a 20% reduction in efficiency.

Weird question but I’m in a similar boat. How much room is there between the front wheel and the bottom of the strut/spring housing plate? Trying to find the biggest OD tires for the hybrid

Those rims look sweet! Bronze definitely works with Carbonized Grey. I'd like to see those on Alto Blue too, it would likely be a good combo.

Not a ton. I would not go wider than 255 to be honest this also depends on the ET offset of the wheels. I would also not go any taller than a 30.5 tall tire so a 245 70 17 or a 245 65 18.

Its the actual plate!

I love the look, but I couldn't take the MPG hit like that. But like I said, it looks amazing!

Every late model Ford I had, the speedo read high. I think they favor the high end so you calculate better fuel mileage and the vehicle feels like it is going slower...

How is the noise level on these tires?

 

[Sleeper 7]

Im confused. Hybrid = mpg Big mud tires = no mpg
