I would definitely stick to 20" tires.

Based on that wheel diameter and your location, we can assume you don't mind a harsher ride, and aren't worried too much about winter snow. Beyond that, you're probably going to have to help us understand what you're looking for in a tire.

I'm planning to replace my turbofans with the gold version when my tires wear out.

If someone makes me a good offer on the turbofans, I might get them sooner.

For tires, I have had Continental DWS's on my last two cars and loved 'em. 245/45 is the size most common I've seen on 20's.

For size, probably 245/45 20. That's what I've got on my AWD hybrid. As far as brand, I've had good luck with Cooper, but everyone will have a different opinion on that.

As a hopeful Mav future owner....doing wheel porn now....I see most are sticking with the 17" but a wheelset I like is 19" versus the 20. Anyone running 19's?

19s are the stock size with the BAP or Lariat/Lobo trims. Thing I didn't like about 19s is the expense. The tires cost more than 20s, and the aftermarket wheel selection is meh.

Oh, thanks for the tip...I will probably end up with a XLT hybrid and I liked this setup..

Id like to go with a BBS wheel in 22” but not sure they make them in that size with the right offset.

With that width of wheel you'll probably have to do wider tires. Mine are 20x8.5 with 245/45. 225s would be better suited to a 6.5 wide wheel.

This is a curious combination. If you are getting the Wildpeaks, I'm assuming that you are planning on a fair amount of off-pavement driving. If that is the case, why are you looking at 19" wheels? 235/65R17 on 17" wheels will be a bit wider and give you over an inch of additional sidewall height. That's more protection and comfort off the pavement. Unless your new vehicle already comes with them, why the appeal of 19" wheels?

I like how these look, they appear to be based off one of the Mustang performance packages. I just wonder how bad they are to clean with all the tight areas in the design.
