Think you can go 255 max, but not sure how close it would be to suspension.Problem with 20s is you'll need a 35 profile minimum (cause you are supposed to go 245/30/20 to match a 245/40/18 which is stock tyres on my car). But not many tyre manufacturers have that size and a 30 profile may be rough. So I would run 245/35/20 and just monitor the speed difference (use tyre calculator to see how much % difference there is). Or if you will be keeping them for a while; think ford or your tuner can readjust to suit specific sized tyres?Just remember the higher the size, the worse it will feel. Plenty of people run 20s, but I never will Edited 23/12/15 07:16 AM by PTR_NITRO_FG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The upper control arm will sit on it. 255 are load rated to 92. 245 aren't discounting some sh*tty chinese brands I wouldn't trust anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
