New shoes installed (2019 Escape 19" wheels)

[klutch14u]

Looks good. Me personally, I like 20” wheels because 19” tires are more expensive than 20’s. Wheels definitely make an XL look a lot better. Here are a few pics of mine.

Looks great, 20's or 22's might be in the future, just needing those steelies gone for now. I assume yours is lowered? With 20's or 22's you pretty much have to for it to look right and not sure I want to do that. I looked at pricing for the 19" tires before I pulled the trigger and I'm not sure you're right about that. You can find them starting at about $100/per tire. I've had some 'wildcat' sizes over the years and learned to research first.

Edited to ask, what size of wheel/tire combo is that? Also, what brand of wheel?

Yes it is lowered. Those are Drag Wheels 20x8.5 with 245/45 20 tires. And I got these tires for $99 each on Discount Tire Direct:

245 /45 R20 103W XL BSW
SNT SENTURY UHPT

Couple more with painted handles installed.

Definitely looks better with the handles done! Did you do them yourself? Also you looking to lower it?

Thanks, I agree. To me, the handles are what takes away the 'work truck' look. I was actually in the middle of sanding a set of handle covers and was going to paint and clear them to match but late last week a set of factory painted handles fell into my lap. I still want to do the mirror caps.

I might end up lowering it. I picked these wheels up because I couldn't take the steel wheels and will use these while I try to decide on a set of 20's or 22's and/or lowering it. These 19's look pretty good at stock height so they'll do for now without dropping a fortune.

I agree with you about the handles! I was going to go with a white maverick when I ordered mine but couldn’t take to black handles so I went with a black maverick lol.. it would definitely look good lowered.

It's a pretty minimal difference, since he dropped down to 55-aspect ratio tires.

I don't have forscan and just run factory or real close but isn't there a field labeled "Tire Circumference: mm" where you enter that for computer to adjust revolution count to distance. Someone was talking about that in the past.

I wonder how the weight of the Escape compares to the Maverick's weight? You wouldn't want wheels designed for a lighter vehicle.

Now it looks like a Lariat

Looks good, that bagged? Curious, did you sand/paint the existing plastic parts or were those paintable replacements?

Thank you. It's on Silver's coilovers, not bags. It's as low on coilovers as most bagged trucks are aired out.

Plastics were original parts sanded smooth and carefully treated with plastic prep to promote adhesion.
