Just for you, I updated the text. The Discount Tire link still works and the 16" only comes in 7" width. It appears that 17" only come in 8" width.

Just for clarity, the wheel width is listed in the image:

I did point you to the first thread, because it has a link to the specific post related to the wheels/tires that does show all the information (Thanks @cprcubed for posting that specific link). I pointed you to the first post because you might find other information there that might prove...

Mine worked fine for me, until I was in a ADV class and had to shut down and start up many times per hour as we performed different training procedures. At the time, I thought that I had a failed alternator, as taking it for a long ride did not solve the issue and it only got worse until it...

Not sure that this is truly an "apples and oranges" comment from @Mwittke5857, more likely just a misunderstanding, as I think @MarkS was trying to show. The lithium-ion batteries do still function at low temperatures, just at a lower capacity (as has been stated and is well known by those who...

It would be interesting to know how Mwittke5857 would know about the performance of 12V lithium-ion batteries in the NY area. I'm pretty sure the comment was about Teslas moving about in the cold weather. As MarkS has stated, it is a widely known fact that EVs lose range in cold weather. I...

Yup, that is a match for my setup and pretty much the same reasoning behind it.

It is hard to tell for sure, but did you get 17" wheels?

My tires are 245’s and I have a 20mm spacer but also the wheels are offset at 30mm, instead of 38 at stock. A 255 tire with a 20mm spacer would put the tire just about flush with the flares, like mine, and at 29” you should be pretty safe in regards to rubbing.

No, I have not gone to a 255 or 265 tire. It is a bad idea. The tire is not just wider but also larger in diameter. If you want wider, you are going to have to go down in aspect ratio, probably to a 60 or 55. Basically, you want to have a tire less than 30" in diameter meaning closer to...

I think the scary part is that there is a high turnover rate in the Quality area, at least at the leadership level. However, it makes no difference to those of us who already own a Ford. If you were shopping for a Ford, this should concern you. It will continue to be an issue for many years...

Are you seeing anything else unusual? For sway bar end link length, the best way to know is to disconnect both end links, put the vehicle on flat level ground, hold the sway bar horizontal, and measure from center to center of the mounting holes.

Did you get an alignment after you did the lift? I had some weird swaying (mostly in low traction environments) that all went away with a good alignment. You really need to have it aligned at a place that does lifted vehicles, not the average shop.

This is probably the primary reason to pay a little more for a spacer from a "trusted brand". The spacer itself is not likely to break, but the studs could be the cheapest thing they could find.

The Toyos seem to be a good tire. I would not say they are quiet but they aren't noisy either. Somewhere in the middle. You can hear them for sure but it's not like you would struggle to have a conversation or hear the radio.

I wasn't really sure about it for a while, but now when I leave work I'm staring right at the front from a distance with the sun shining on it. I think it is exactly what I was looking for. There is still something there, but it isn't screaming at you. My eyes are getting worse every day it...

I would say that is the primary reason for the spacer. I like the look of the fender flares that don't really look like flares and then without a spacer they just look silly. In stock form the wheels are already tucked in too much and then with the flares it only gets worse. There are...

I never ran them without the spacer, but lots of people have run this size tire without a spacer and there is no rubbing. I think there is plenty of space for a small change in offset (8mm).

Those letters are held on by some incredibly aggressive adhesive on some foam tape. Is there any visible damage to the letter that you can tell? I doubt that even the most disinterested employee at the dealership could place the letter that poorly. If you can easily pull it off, or start to...
