New Wheels and Tires

[Tobylima]

My first post and I wanted to share my new tire and wheel setup. My vehicle is a 2021 limited 4WD and I am going to be traveling to some areas that see a fair amount of snow in the winter. I searched the site and went with those suggesting the Bridgestone Blizzak tires on some aftermarket rims. The tire size is 275/65 R18 (factory recommended) replacing my 285/45 R22 XL stock tires/rims. I’m keeping the original tires/wheels for when it warms up. While I’d read that the Blizzak‘s are noisy, I’m finding these seem quieter then the Hankooks and the ride is much smoother. On top of that, I think they look pretty good.

I really Like those aftermarket wheels. My 22 Limited came with the 22" rims and I have been thinking of going to 18" or 20". What brand are those? Can you share a link

Is that the stock ride height or did you do a leveling kit?

That has an awesome stance. Is that stock or did you level it?

I ditched my 22s and got some Ford OEM stock Expedition 20" wheels from Detroit Wheel and tire. Need to find a way to sell the stock 22s, haven't been too successful on getting bites for those.

If you do this, you will want to swap out the spare too. Got a used Ford OEM 20 off of Ebay to use as a spare and fitted it with an in expensive Corsa tire. So no worry about gearing and running a spare for 500 miles or more.
