Anyone's Maverick on 20" inch wheels?

[All4spl]

I'd like to see and hear about your Mavericks on 20s. What tire size and what if any speedometer accuracy issues.

Lowered or not, I would actually like to see some without lowering as I want to lower mine but I need to find a shop I can trust to do it before jumping for Eibach springs and I am also still unclear IF the springs and an alignment are all I will need to lower my Maverick.

I currently have a set of 20s from TSW that were on my Edge (yes they are 5x108) and I desperately want to put them on my Maverick however I have 255/45ZR/20 tires on the wheels currently and I am not sure if those will be ok for not rubbing and also not throwing off the speedometer too much.

Factory size tires are 225/65/17, diameter is 28.5 inches. Your tires are 255/45ZR/20, diameter is 29.1 inches. The speedometer will be slightly off (1.8%) and it's not quite ideal, but in my opinion, not crazy.
This website is very helpful for looking at tire sizes: https://tiresize.com/calculator/
One of our fellow forum members has made this very helpful chart when looking at the likelihood of rubbing via the width: https://www.radmav.com/wheel-offset-charts Thanks @RadMav

TL/DR: they'll fit, but not well. Tires should be replaced.

Lowered on eibach springs 255/45/20 rides great no rubbing and mpg stayed the same from stock wheels

Hmm... Does that mean 255/60/17 would fit without rubbing?

20x9 275/45/20 Lowered and factory hight. Very slight rubbing once lowered.

20x9 wrapped in 245/45/20 tires .. no speedo adjustments made as overall diameter is very close to stock.

Obviously not lowered ... I am in the same boat as you.... I want to deal with a local shop that has dropped at least one Maverick ..hopefully a Hybrid. I will get the new Eibachs as well.
Ya know ...it's not so much having a shop drop it ...I'm more worried about the care taken to not mess up my paint/interior.

Anyhow .... the windows not being tinted to match the back windows is bothering me more than the Mav not being lowered ...so that's next for me.

Please can you tell me the specific company and name of that rim.

Looks like an OE Volvo XC 90 wheel. Volvo part # 31670217

Hope that helps.

I have 245/50/20 on +40/8.5”wide rims, as some on here have put larger edge OEM rims and aftermarket options as well should be no problem.

Damn, I feel like I'm the only one perfectly satisfied with the stock steelies

Yes, they are factory Volvo xc90 wheel and tire take offs.

Do you know the width and offset on your wheels?

Going from a 225 or 235 to a 255 and from an 18 to a 20" wheel WILL impact gas mileage. Sorry but that is just physics. A wider tires creates more rolling resistance with the road. A larger wheel is not only heavier but creates more rotating mass. Car and driver did a test years ago to demonstrate this. Not just going by thier article, this has been known for years.

Anyone tried going for 245/40/20 on a 20x8 inch wheel. Im getting an insane deal on a whole summer set up.
