Better tires or wider wheels?

[Tucker80]

I wouldn't waste money putting better tires on a bad wheel unless you're really just in love with the current style. Ford factory wheels are unacceptably heavy. You can go much wider with a flow formed wheel and shave off a ton of weight at the same time.

Slightly wider setup with wider nitto or hankook tires will get the job done. Let us kow if you need a quote

I feel if you like the car and intend on keeping it for any length of time, you are better off with a nice set of rims (simple, respectable, flow-formed) paired with Summer tires.

19x10, +35, square, 283/35/19 would bolt right on and allow you to rotate the tires to boot. And that's only one option. Depending on your taste for fitment, you could easily find several more setups.

Michelin PS4s get nice reviews.

We've already got more ideas and feedback from Members and one vendor.

I realize it doesn't help you immediately, but both better-sized, lighter rims, paired with a set of summers is like 1+1 = 3, versus the tire-only option: 1.

While you're contemplating that, you can continue to save, check some sites and get feedback here.

Good Luck. Once again, Welcome.

Hope this is not you, because if it is, you need to invest in mufflers first

you make a lot of sense man.

better tires then. And 'where'? PR?

correct

Quick question, will 20s affect the handling negatively if the car didnt originally come with the front strut tower brace ?

(Sorry I was at work idk why the hell I wrote front stabilizer bar)

your car came with both front and rear sways. Sounds like someone dicked with the car.

18 or 20's doesn't matter. it'll perform the same in the absence of the bar.

The problem with 20 is you tend to have to run shorter sidewall which in turn effects pothole absorption.

I run 20x10 in the summer. You have a front sway bar (or you should) so no, you don’t need to go larger unless you’re doing track days and feel that you need something bigger.

I run Continental Extreme Contact Sport, 285/35/20

Would 19x10 48mm fit all around ?

You'll need some spacers to back that down to a lot closer to 40. Because otherwise it will crash into shocks and other hard parts.

Shop for Ford wheels and stop looking at Nissan

Someone with more experience would have to speak to this question.

On the rear, I'm comfortable a wheel of that size and offset would fit.

On the front though, +48, my thought is it would hit the strut. A spacer could be used though. But spacers on the front might require the use of a longer stud.

Edit: ^ See above. Thank You @shogun32

Lol , naw man I was looking at some American muscle pp2 reps. But yeah did more research and they only fit in the back of the car as you said. Thanks.

 

[GrabberBargeCaptain]

Go for the SVE SP2 if you like PP2 style wheels. Very happy with mine.
