Howdy,

Just got a 2025 Ligthning and the best deal i found had the 20" wheels. I would prefer the 18" due range, ride comfort and off road performance. Anyone have a set of factory/OEM 18" wheels from a 2022-2025 lightning and willing to trade?

I am in Sacramento but travel periodically and could likely tracel a bit for them.

[Also, i heard that the 2025 18" wheels are the same as 2022-2024 except for black coloring on the flat surfaces rather than silver color. That is .. the fit/function is the same. Can anyone confirm?]

18” wheels do not give you better range the 20”s have been proven to be best.

it’s because of rolling resistance the 18” tires have more meat and the 20” have less meat which means less resistance. You can research EV tire rolling resistance on how it works.
