My Platinum Expedition came with the stock 22” rims. I bought a set of factory 18” rims and painted them flat black to have as a set of dedicated snow tires. The height of the tires is the exact same. (https://tiresize.com/calculator/)
I like my winter tires to have taller sidewalls and narrower tread with which provides protection for driving over uneven pot holes and prevents floatation over snow

@kodigray2015 I would be happy to swap - not sure what shipping costs would be. Want me to take pics of my rims?
I don't think I have seen these on a deal like I received back last fall, but they work just fine as replacements for my 22". I live just outside of Boston and matched them with snowflake tires. I would say the width of these rims (18x8.5") and tires didn't give me incredible snow traction, but I was looking for a balance that I could run when there wasn't snow on the ground. The rims were a steal at $59/ea. The CA co (I think Performance Plus Tire) now has them at a difference price. I still have my 22"s and putting back on soon.
The pic is of the Carrol Shelby CS 17's in the event you are still shopping. Good Luck! - John Brennan

I’m also going down to 18’s if anyone is interested in the 22’s on my 2018 Platinum. I’m lifting and outfitting it for some moderate trail riding.

Your style wheel were the ones I wanted to get but couldn’t find any in my price range. That is why I had to settle on 20’s for now and put the 18’s in the garage.

Yep, I also prefer the 2018 Platinum wheels over the newer ones. They are beautiful.
If I were never going off-road I would definitely keep them.

So all I have to do is make sure the height is the same. Thx.

Tom Brennan, use this tire size calculator to compare your old size (22”) to the new tire size you would like to switch to (17, 18, etc). It’ll show you all the dimensions of each tire, AND how it will affect your speedometer. It allows to plug in numbers until you find the right combination that fits your needs. Select the tire comparison tab to begin. https://tiresize.com/calculator/
