Love the set up! Always been a fan of bronze! Thanks for sharing.NOTGOOSE got new shoes this evening. Konig Heliogram 18x8.5 with Kumho PA51 235/55/18 tires. Looks much nicer now!
I did some size comparison to the stock Michelins 225/60r18 and I can put 245/55r18 and all specs same except width and weight. Only problem is the Michelins might last a long time. Spec say original tread depth 8.5, I now have 20,000 miles on them and tread depth is 7.5 at that wear rate they will last another 60K-75K miles.No issues whatsoever. This is the perfect setup for 18's in my opinion. Some people choose 235/60s over the 235/55 but the 55's are perfect to me.
Yes it will. You are compromising less than 1/2" of sidewall. No way in hell you are going to notice that in your butt dyno on a vehicle like this. A track car? Sure, hell, tire PSI wins races. But a FORD Maverick daily driver that comes from the factory on 18's too, no way you'd notice.The comfortable ride of the standard 17" tires will not be the same with 18" tires.
