Any Lowered FX4's with the Stock 17's?

As the title says. I like the black wheel and the design, just not the minuscule tire they put on it. Thinking of lowering it and swapping tires to like a 245/55/17 for some width.

Escape lowering springs. I have 20's on it now.

That looks really good with the stock wheels though. I assume the stock tires? Maybe some wider tires on these rims would help. I have had 20's on a vehicle that came with 18's and it was lowered, and it just didn't ride that good to me. Hoping to keep some rubber for some more dampening.

Are you running eibach Escape lowering springs? From what year and I assume AWD? I have talked to eibach and they are coming out with springs for the AWD Maverick within a few months. Supposed to drop the front 2.1" and rear 2.9" from what they told me. Fingers crossed it's sooner than later.

H&R Escape springs. I have a Venezia Crusade HP tires and honestly the ride is better tire wise just louder on certain surfaces. You get the hop feeling from the springs but its not terrible.

@22MavXLT Found any luck with answering your original question? I want to lower my AWD XL on H&R Super Sport springs but keep the OEM 17" steelies. I'd prefer to go 245/65 but am not sure if there will be any fitment/rubbing issues.

as far as the tires go, no. but the pic posted above looks pretty good even with the stock tires.

that tire size is 1" taller than stock, so in essence you have about an extra .5" on the top of the tire and .5" on the bottom of the tire. I would say it would work, but what's the purpose of the taller tire?

I like the look of a slightly larger tire with a lowered mini-truck so want to go with an all-terrain that is slightly larger than stock. Also another way to help fill up any fender gap.

oh ok. well mathematically it should work, but it might scrub on large dips and such, just can't say for sure.
