angryfarang Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 My Everest arrives this month and I'd like to change the alloys. It's the Titanium+ version with the 20" - I'm wondering how much bigger I can go without any modifications? Has anyone changed their standard alloys for bigger ones?

IMHO Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 You can go up to 265/40/22 relatively easily, but as JAS21 notes, ride quality will suffer: http://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wheel1=265-50-20X8.5ET55&wheel2=265-40-22X9.5ET25&fcl=25mm&wcl=100mm&scl=50mm&sr=0mm 285/45/21 retains most of the OEM sidewall thickness, while only impacting the speedometer 2.2%: http://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wheel1=265-50-20X8.5ET55&wheel2=285-45-21X9.5ET25&fcl=25mm&wcl=100mm&scl=50mm&sr=0mm One major thing you need to be mindful of is the offset - a lot of popular Thai made wheels will have the wheels standing proud of the wheel wells.

angryfarang Posted June 13, 2016 Author Share Posted June 13, 2016 IMHO - did you stick with the std. wheels? 285/45/21 sounds OK. I don't really want to go super low profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IMHO Posted June 13, 2016 Share Posted June 13, 2016 IMHO - did you stick with the std. wheels? 285/45/21 sounds OK. I don't really want to go super low profile. Yes, still on the OEM wheels. The only wheels I found that I liked and had the correct offset are 6x135mm stud spacing... Thai pickups and PPV's all use 6x139.7mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fullcave Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Do you ever go off-road? Not only is on-road stiffness and dynamics a consideration but also off-road use where the larger rims are more likely to be damaged or fail. I used to race in Baja and in those extremes we were using steel rims only as the alloy rims can break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giddyup Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 I wanted to upgrade to larger wheels on my new (18 months ago) Triton, but in the end decided against it. No one wanted to take my Mitsu alloy wheels and tyres as a trade-in, so I would have had to try and sell them privately, so basically a lot of extra expense, and a harsher ride, just to "improve" the looks.

JaseTheBass Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 i am interested in buying the ford everest titanium 20 inch wheels with tyres if anyone has a set to sell please PM Thank you Tough to find as they are usually kept unless a Toyota owner offers good money to replace the fugly rims they suffer as standard.

notamember Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 they will not fit Toyota, different stud spacing its been my experience most owners trade them in with a wheel/tyre dealer when they replace them with an after-market wheel so whilst this may not be the ideal place to seek them out under those circumstances , but you never know......

JAS21 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 (edited) I'll give you 20,000thb for them provided no damage and tyres are almost new. I'll even collect them ... Edited October 22, 2016 by JAS21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notamember Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 jas 21, you said to the OP in a post on this thread '' I have the same ... TBH I think that the ride is hard enough on the standard tyres. You should be able to sell the T+ wheels reasonably easy.'' it appears from what you said in that post you have a Titanium ford (''I have the same'' as the OP) and would have these 20'' wheels fitted as standard from Ford so if i am reading your new post correctly you are offering me 20,000 baht for wheels that you already have? is that correct?

Personally, I would stay with the exact same size and backspacing that comes with the truck and just change to an aesthetically pleasing wheel. At least this way alignments are simple, tires are simple, speedo won't change, and tires/air pressure are all easily noted on the door jam and user manual, ride quality will stay the same. I mean why mess all this up for 1" of extra wheel that nobody is going to notice? Not even yourself is going to really notice 1" more wheel.

No I think going to the larger dia. will look much improved. Also wider tyres ...then sell the old wheels and tyres to me ...great idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notamember Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 beauty is in the eye of the beholder, i had 24 ' on a fortuner , had to trim everything to make it happen, looked great, drove crap bump steered all over the road eventually i bought a set of stock 18 TRD wheels, it was like a limo by comparison now, lesson learned, i upsize my wheels using stock parts from better equipped vehicles, that way they fit as they should, and i still keep the ride comfort that Ford spent millions on in R & D to get it right, rather than some spotty faced kid in a wheel shop telling me, be ok, be dee mak mak .. i had a range rover in UK i loved it in between long spells in the dealership being fixed ugly wheel arch extensions with exposed Allan key studs? why would anyone do that?

notamember Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 FORD WILDTRAK 18’’ WHEELS and TYRES These wheels that came off a brand new Ford Ranger 3.2 WildTrak that was in a 4x4 conversion specialist in Bangkok on 29th August 2015 It had been delivered there on a truck by Ford on behalf of the owner He was having the full lift conversion and giant off road wheels and tyres fitted When I bought them they had never been driven on a road I have the original sales advertisement from the seller to prove this claim, They are 14 months old from brand new, never used condition After checking my cars service history against the date of the wheels purchase, therefore my use estimate is in the 15,000 km-20,000 km date range from new Wheels have original factory fitted 265/60R18 Bridgestone Duellers They are offered for sale as I have just upgraded to a bigger set of wheels They are pretty much unmarked except for one scuff on one wheel They will fit all 2013 onwards Ford Ranger pickups, they will fit all Mazda 2013 onwards BT-50 models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
