Lowered 2024 Maverick Lariat Hybrid on 20" wheels / tires

[Discount Tire]

It’s pretty even. I’ll get more pictures tomorrow. I’m swapping the tires to continentals the Hankook had crazy noise and vibration at 70mph we put the factory rims and tires on and no issues so hopefully it’s just the tires and this fixes it.

Which Conti did you decide on?

Looks good! I considered those rims but I just can’t get past the logo attached to the rim. Looks like it’s permanently attached and not removable, is that correct?

Yes it has a little name plate on it. I don’t hate it but don’t love it. Not a ton of options available that were in stock. I really wanted some Niche I saw but they are discontinued.

Nice! Great choice! I've found it to be a very smooth and quiet riding tire. Wears well too!

Did you install the springs yourself? If not, what was the approximate labor cost? Thanks.

I am a dealer in vegas so my guys did it. Was a little less than 3 hours labor so should be $500-$600 depending on where you bring it I am guessing. Most shops are $150$-200 an hour.

Having a hard time finding options myself. Really want to go 20” wheels but I’m not sure I want to deal with the mpg hit. I commute about 75 miles per day. What kind of change did you see in mpg?

It is not the size of the wheels alone.
In the graphic below Size1 is stock Size2 is what a number of folks run.
.2" isn't much difference and a stock 225/60/18 is only .1" smaller diameter.

The wheel+tire combo matters ... as does the weight and width.
The more you gain in overall diameter, width, and weight from stock, the lower your MPG are likely to go.

I think I lost 2-3 MPG going from stock to aftermarket wheels/tires. I still hit EPA numbers.

Yes I realize that. Overall diameter is probably very close to factory. But I would be the combo weighs atleast 10lbs plus per corner and wondering how that has affected mpg. Looking for some real-ish world data to decide if I can justify it

I also have a 75 mile commute
Generally getting 28-30mpg
I don’t know what it would be without the wheels as they were waiting for the truck to arrive
It’s probably worth the slight hit….. you will still be getting excellent gas mileage

I'm in St. George, Utah just 100 miles up the road. I'm in Vegas almost every week with my slammed Maverick.
