Upgraded my wheels and tires
Just got my new Black Rhino Mozambique 20" wheels with a +30 offset and Nitto Terra Grappler G2 285/50/20 installed.
So far, I am loving the tire size on my 2wd XL. Speedometer is off about 1-2 mph and I have lost about 1-2 mpg.
Still feels light and responsive, handling improved, feels much more sure footed, very slight increase in road noise (have to focus to hear the difference between the factory tires with the radio off).
I wanted predominantly black wheels with a kiss of silver and paid a premium for these wheels due to them being rotary forged. My number 1 priority was to try and keep that light and responsive driving experience that made me fall in love with my 3.5L Ecoboost in the first place.
Shout out to fellow forum member notchfiveoh for sharing the pics of this size tire and his feedback on living with them.
All in all, I love this combo.
Don't know how to rotate pics on here. I rotated them prior to uploading once I saw they came out sideways, but it didn't help.

Those look awesome on the Race Red!
Can you get a better pic from the front with the wheels straight?
Looks like they stick out pretty good for +30 offset. ðŸ‘ðŸ¼

I am definitely pleased with how much they stick out. Since I don't have the factory fender flares, I was concerned about them sticking out to much, but the it is exactly the fitment I wanted.
