Is it possible to replace 17" rim to 18" ?

I like 18" rim, but really don't want luxury package. Too expensive for the package....

Thinking about ordering XL , then replace the rim to 18".......

need any special adjustment?

The Black Appearance Package wheels are 18 inches. The black painted wheels for $795 are also 18 inches.

I also know many people mount wheels from the Bronco Sport without issues.

I really don like black appearance, but it sucks to combine the rim with luxury package

If you look at the tire sizes, most of the 17's run a 65-aspect tire, the 18's run 60-aspect, so the OD stays the same.

Yep, I’ve a lariat with 18 and I want to go the other direction as I prefer the solid black XLT wheels and I could run a wider 245/60 17 that doesn’t effect the speedo. Haven’t done it yet as I’m trying to get my mav paid for first.

The whole point of the XL for me. Get the XL and then build upon the base.
Steelies will be my winter/allseason. While replacement wheels will be 18" summer.

Pick diameter ie 18", pick width (around 8-8.5"), pick offset ie +37, wrap correct rubber. Lug Pattern 5 x 108
Consider weight, look, color, purpose.

But if add the rim size, 18' is higher than 17' around 3'

If that were true, I would have had to raise the jack when I was installing the 18 inch Lariat wheels when removing the 17's that came on my XLT. Didn't have to adjust the height at all. If you stay with stock tire sizes, there is no difference. Real world experience.

It’s overall circumference of tire that matters as far as speedometer accuracy. A 225/65 r17 on the stock 17 is same circumference and height as a 225/60 r18 on the stock 18. My self I want to go from 18 to 17 then I can mount a 245/60 r17 and have same circumference and height but get about 1” wider and about 1/2” taller sidewall for better traction and little softer ride. And yes the wheel is 1” taller and 3.14” larger in circumference but overall the stock wheels 17 or 18 with stock tires are same overall height and circumference.

Yes, I have 20’s and lowered it, plenty of room

So 18 - 17 = 3.
