[wcfox]

Finally got my wheels and tires put on

Wheels
SuperSpeed RF03RR 18x8.5 +38 Offset Hub Is 63.4 Same as OEM. No Hub Centric Rings Needed. They Weight 18.1lbs per wheel.

Tires
Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 255/55/18 Lug Nuts Were M14 x 1.5

Ordered everything off Car ID they did great answering all my questions!

I’ll post pictures of the tires i had on before they were 245/65/17 BFG K02’s. Great tire but i drive 2hours each day to my business so the gas wasn't what i was wanting with those tires installed on the stock FX4 Black Wheels. “For Sale BTW Wheels and tires plus tpms”. So i starting looking for something lighter and sportier the rims i came across are not usually what id get i prefer a 5spoke but the weight and price was to good of a bargin to pass and they actually look good now they are on imo. Tire size their wasnt alot of selections i talked with @JJC “appreciate the help” and like his setup but wanted to do a little different so people can see different results since theirs not much out there right now. The difference is pretty noticeable with my old set up doing the math the ko2’s weight 44lbs apiece and i couldnt find how much the stock fx4 wheel weighed anywhere but the stock steelies are 27-28 from what i saw. The new set us the tires weight 30lbs and wheels weight 18.1 so by those numbers thats a loss of around 94-95lbs give or take. Only got to drive a couple miles but felt alot better. Also on the ko2 set us i was avering 18.9 mpg and i have almost 4k miles on truck now and i live in wv alot of mountains and i have a heavy foot. I reset my trip so i can see what kind mileage im getting with these. Of course i knew id loose mileage with the ko2s but didnt think that much. New setup seems good no rubbing or anything my future plans are lowering springs when they become available for the maverick and some mudflaps. Also would be awesome if cobb released their accessport and someone started doing more tunes Im ready to start on those parts now. Anyways sorry for long post hope this helps and ill try to answer any questions!!

Love the new setup, it’s going to look even better when it’s lowered. How’s the mpgs now?

thanks @BigB !! Ive not got to drive it to much so not much has change will update when i get some more miles on it! The handling is awesome really liking the set up handles the road very good with the wide tires and looks good in person as well.

I don't dislike this - but since you're going for street/tuner truck look it needs to be lower.

Also if it would clear a 255 width then it would give the tire slightly more presence (tire width looks a little conservative).

Looks good but we'd both be happier with it lowered.
