Goodbye 19s. Hello 17" Fifteen52 + 245/65/17 Open Country AT3

[fromRavToMav]

2025 Lariat hybrid awd
Wheel - 17 inch Fifteen52 Traverse MX
Tires - 245/65/17 Toyo Open Country A/T III
Lugs - GORILLA LUG NUTS 14X1.5 M14 ACORN

before:

Personally didn’t understand why 19s in the first place but excited to get exactly what I wanted. Perfect for me in the PNW. Rides better with more sidewall, no discernible difference in MPG yet but happy to follow up.

Thanks for all the posts on the 245s I love the look!

I'll do a complete exterior black out!

 

[Cancunbadlands]

Try some plastidip or vinyl at the front lower balance to blacked out

 

[Redline]

That looks outstanding. A 25% tint on the front windows would look really good.

Welcome to the Maverick Truck Club forum from Alaska!

Cool pictures of your new Maverick.

I love it! I hate the 19s on the Lariat but I am not going to drop what you did to make the switch.

However, if i I did - I would pretty much do EXACTLY what you did. Awesome.

nah, he needs to add a few square feet of chrome to compensate!

Chrome is the devil

Chrome is the devil

If chrome isn't the answer, you asked the wrong question!

I love it! I hate the 19s on the Lariat

Why?

 

[Blinky]

That looks great and the Traverse MX suit the Maverick so well.

Haha oh yes. The list keeps growing

Have you noticed any discrepancy in your speed (car vs gps)? I went to 17's for my snows vs 18 that came with the truck. Tire dealer said that the speed would be off slightly. They said when showing 65 in the truck it would be 64.75 in actuality. Figured it was close enough, but that is not the case. 70 or higher I am off 2 to 3 MPH... Though I can compensate with my foot, miles to empty is now way off. Have found (when towing my snowmobile trailer) that when the truck is showing 10 to 25 miles remaining to empty, the gas gauge is still showing a quarter full (sometimes more). Is that any way that the tire size can be adjusted in the truck so that the speed numbers are correct (dealer or forescan)?

Those original wheels look like the lariat 20s, no?

Off a couple mph at 70 seems right on according to the tire comparison chart:

Thanks for the heads up, I hadn’t really considered the impact to the odometer being that big of a deal considering it’s only a less than 3% difference to the revs per mile. I’ve read that you can update the tire size in the software but I’ve never used forscan. Maybe the dealer can do it?
