Winter wheel/tire setup

[ChicagoExpedition]

I purchased wheels from Summit Racing Equipment. They have wheels in Dark Grey around $900 and glossy black around $1,100. Kits come what TPS and Black Center caps…. Added Gorilla Black lugs to finish it off.

Got a link for them?

Getting ready to put my Raptor Replicas on. Just replaced the center caps for OEM.

Finally got these on. 20" with Blizzaks from Tirerack. TPMS picked them up about 10 minutes down the road and best of all, no vibrating like my stock tires!!

20” Sport Terrain TK8 in black with Continental VikingContact 7.

I’m usually a Blizzak guy, but I decided to try the Continental as they’re highly rated. So far, they’re definitely much quieter than the Blizzaks. Pretty much like the stock Grabbers.

Same wheels I got, looks good! Blizzaks are defiantly aggressive which is what I need in Colorado!

Don't want to grind the rear axle stud and not a fan of spacers. May leave the rear caps off.

Those tires are so wide, they won't do that great in snow. Better than a AT tire, but real good snow tires are tall and skinny.

275s
I have 295s on my F150

Always been good in the snow so far

I had good luck with Santa Ana Wheel. Ford Expedition wheels so no fitment questions.

I've owned Blizzak and the Michelin IceX tires before on other vehicles,but this winter put on 17" General Grabber Artics on the 19 Limited, and I am very happy with the traction and quietness of the tire.

I have the 22's for summer on Michelin Premier LTX (great tires btw) and run Nokian Hakka 10 studded on 275/65-18 for winter. Sidewall is almost 30% higher and the width is about 4% less than my 22's. Those Nokians are simply incredible in the deep snow and the studs are crazy good on the compacted snow and ice. I have had Blizzaks (good but wear fast) and Yoko Ice Guards (NFG).

I am looking for studded winter tire for our 24 Timberline and there is not much out there for a 265/70R18. Nokian Hakka 10 not available in that size. Did find Hakka LT3 that will fit. Any thoughts on the difference in ride from the P to the LT?

Original plan was to use the winter rims we had for our Infiniti QX80 but the tire shop says the bolt pattern is different. I think they are wrong and going to try it out this afternoon! The one thing where I am not sure about is the offset, factory rim is a 8.5Jx18 ET39 with a 39 mm offset. The rims I would like to put on are a Moto Metal M0970 20 dia x 9" wide with a 12 mm offset. As for tire size, I was looking at a 275/55R20, that is the factory tire size for a Expedition Limited. Current tire size on the tires is a 275/60R20, and was thinking of using the same size.
