Yes they are my Lincoln wheels from my parts car. The ride is definitely a little more harsh than with the 18" but I definitely expected a worse ride, the suspension picks up the harshness except with potholes and quick changes in road surface. Amazingly the fuel mileage did not change in a noticeable way. I did notice though I get a little rub with 45 spec sidewall when I turn the wheels as far left or right.Looks really good - are those Lincoln rims ? How about ride and handling ?
are u still able to make a turn at no problemSo if you're getting a little rubbing at full lock then maybe 255's are pushing the width too much. We still have the original Michelin 235/50 18's - I haven't been through a winter yet with these. When it's time for new tires I would like to go up to 245/50's of some make - but that's in the future. Have you tried switching the Ride Control to Comfort ? That should make a diff on the harshness. I see the outside diameter went up from 27 1/4 to 29 inches - a 6% increase, no surprise the mileage didn't change.
Yeah I’ve actually played around quite a bit with tire sizes, I’ve been buying tires with about a quarter of the tread left and seeing how they fit. I’m currently running 235/60r18. This is probably one of my favorite sizes, the ride quality is great, the look is a little bit off but that’s the only bad. Once again just like when I was running my 20 inch wheels just a little bit of a rub turning left or turning right all the way. I’ve seen no damage though to the fender liner.are u still able to make a turn at no problem
