Fancy shoes: Falken Wildpeak AT 265/60R18 + 18" Black Rhino Arches Wheels on Maverick XL FWD

Would really like to know if there is any rubbing at full lock as well... According to Ford engineers on for the Bronco Sport, 30.5" is the maximum tire diameter that will fit. Of course this is still quite vague as width, offset, and tread style will all play a part in any potential rubbing. From what found on the rims, they should have a 30mm offset which isn't drastically different then stock (roughly 3/8" farther out then stock).

I could hear a very slight rubbing on full lock but didn’t feel anything so not sure if it’s rubbing or it could even just be the tires moving on the asphalt.

As a Chicagoland resident, it's been my concern from the getgo that I'd be saddled with a B-Truck license plate. I checked Illinois laws and regs and read that as long as the majority of space was devoted to passengers, a regular license plate was in order. For those unfamiliar with Chicago law, you cannot park on the streets with B plates. How did Santa get those plates? Bummer.

Those were the plates the dealer put on…I’m in the burbs so it doesn’t matter too much, unless we are going to visit our nephew downtown. So no driving down LSD for us…

You are correct. Beautiful Mav BTW!

Couple more pics of the tires and the dogs…need to get a cap for the bed so they can come with us. They are leonbergers both about 120-130 lb and had plenty of room.

I also found a qr code in the wheel well but it wouldn’t scan on my phone.

I did notice one thing I hadn’t seen mentioned anywhere. The brake-hold when you come to a stop is automatic. Once you come to a complete stop you can lift your foot off the brake and it stays in place. On our GLE you have to activate that by pushing the brake pedal further down after you stop…doing that in the Mav cancels the brake-hold.

I believe all Ford products echo that behavior. Our 2020 Escape Hybrid did the same.

Just picked this one up…still have my Rapid Red Lariat AWD on order but couldn’t resist this one…

Tires are Falken Wildpeak A/T 265/60R18
18" wheels are Black Rhino Arches in Matte Black

Looks good! Great job!

Where’d you get the door decals at?
I’m spilt between Area 51 and Cactus Gray .

Decals were on it when I bought it…I’ve sent the shop that did the work a message to see if they can give me details on what they did and where they got the parts from.

I think they tinted the front windows as well, but not sure.

Very small black fender flares would look nice, those horses are going to kill your mpg

Oh good…so it’s not just me. Probably an internal part code.

Been debating putting fender flares on. I kinda like the exposed look but not 100% sold either way.
