Body colored, lowered Atlas Blue Maverick on 20's Mach-E Wheels ...

@MGouin - Not trying to be super critical, but the seat covers have a lot of bunching or wrinkles. Have those relaxed at all?

Beautiful ride.


I didn't see this mentioned but it appears you are using narrow, spline lug nuts with OEM wheels; that's just asking for trouble IMO. OEM wheels can rip right through spline lugs with a gnarly pothole. You want factory-style bulge lug nuts since you are using OEM wheels. Gorilla makes some nice black ones that would work just fine and seat properly on OEM wheels: 61148BCX

If you look, most all spline (even those called bulge acorn spline) have disclaimers stating not to be used with factory/OE wheels. Would hate to see you & your ride or an innocent party get hurt from something that you might have mistakenly overlooked.

This looks really good!

Is it the angle of the pictures or does the rear look lower than the front?

Can you say about how much getting the black plastics painted ran you?

They are flared.

Thanks! Just the angle. It sits quite level.

I had it done at work. Not really sure.

This is how the bumpers should be done.

There absolutely is a right way and a wrong way to color code the bumpers.

Take notes folks.

They are flared.

Whatever floats your boat. I wouldn't risk splined nuts on OE wheels, they are not designed for OE wheels and will not seat properly. They may have went on just fine but they are much more likely to loosen since they don't seat correctly like a bulge factory style lug nut would.

Like most of you I couldn't leave my Maverick stock and blend in...

'23 Atlas Hybrid
Eibach springs
Mach-E GT 20" wheels
Pirelli P7 245/45R20 Tires

More to come...

Any noticable MPG drop after getting the 20's?

Truck looks sweet!

 

[MGouin]

Thanks!

No, overall diameter was within a few mm.

 

[volksnuts]

Thanks!

No, overall diameter was within a few mm.

Everything holding up?
Done anything else to it?

 

[MGouin]

Everything is holding up. I am anxiously awaiting the Brembo brake kit from Ford Performance...

How about your truck? All good?

 

[mfergel]

That looks great but man would I hate to have to clean those wheels on a regular basis.
