22”-24” tires?

[Urmom]

Hey yall, hope everyone is well today.

I just bought a 2020 expedition and wanted to get new tires/wheels. It currently has the stock all weather tires on it, which are great, but I wanted to put on all terrain tires.

Does anyone have pics of their expedition with all terrains? I’m trying to figure out what would look good with mine, also.. can I upgrade to 24” tires if I have the wheel room?

I would normally ask my dad all these questions but he died two years ago.. so here I am.

help a girl out please!

Some additional information from you would help (trim level, current tire size). I’m guessing that is an Expedition Platinum, and that you currently have 20” wheels. Your current tire size will confirm. If my assumptions are correct I would think you can go with a 275/60-20 Tire (that would be a 33” tire). If your currents are a 265/55-20 or 275/55-20 that is around a 32” tire. Going bigger you will want answers from others. Also going a bit bigger than stock will throw off other things like speedo and other things. All Terrain tires can be bought in your current tire size, or many other sizes. A good place to do research is tirerack.com . You can put in the tire size you are looking for and put filters on it to look for All Terrain. The also rank tires by customer feedback, so that helps in picking out good tires. Buy from wherever you want, but again good for research.

The 22" 285/45s are 32.1" tall.

If you have a tuner you can adjust the speedo if you put 33s on. However I am not 100 percent sure there won't be running without a lift.

Are you going for "looks" or actual "all terrain" performance? Do you do any towing?

 

[Urmom]

they’re 285/45R22.

I don’t want a lift or anything, but we live near the mountains. PNW. the AWT I have on currently would suffice just fine, but I like the look of all terrain tires, just trying to see what others may have done that looked good

I had the stock 22" on my 2021 Stealth but moved down to some 20" for a little better ride. I look the looks better too, not a fan of 22" myself but the 22" wheel design was nice..

I have them yet if you are interested in getting 22" let me know.

Before and after pics.

I have 22" but go with 18". A lot more selection of tires.

IMHO, that 2nd pic (on the right) looks much better than the 1st one, as I just don't care for 22's on such a large vehicle like an Expy...they just look too "pimpwagon-ish" to me

18" wheels make the ride so much smoother, on and off road.

Exactly, they are nice looking wheels, just don't want them on my vehicle. That and the 20s do ride better with and additional 1" of rubber and tires for the 20s cost about $90 less that the tires for the 22s.

However, I did have to change out the spare that came with the vehicle too so as not to worry about wear on the gears should I need to drive with a spare for 500 miles or so. Just bought a used 20" from a salvage yard to use as my spare.

Looks great! I was debating about 18s, but I am good with the 20s. I am headed there in about 1.5 weeks, but won't be looking to do any of that kind of offroading.

What size spare did you fit in there?

What size spare did you fit in there?

A 20" wheel with the same size tire as the 20s that are now on my vehicle. 275 55 20

Edit: added pic of the spare wheel and tire. I got the OEM wheel on EBAY for $106 from a salvage yard. Added a low cost tire to match the 275 55 20 dimensions of my other tires.
