Can I / Should I swap Flash Wheels for Platinum Wheels

[Vic20]

I have a 2024 Flash, with 25k. It has the dreaded Hancook tires with the outer edge wear that I have heard about from others.

I much prefer the look of the Platinum wheels, so before getting a new set of 20" tires, I was thinking of plunking the money down for Platinum wheels and getting new 22" tires.

It is my hope that the circumference will be the same and the vehicle speed will still be accurately reflected my the speedometer.

Does anyone here know?

Also, any related thoughts?

Thanks!

BTW, I have been seeing Lightnings now almost every day I drive!

When I got my platinum, the wheels were actually something I didn't like. Maybe it was too ahead of its time for me. But now I also like them the most. Strange how that works.

The overall diameter of rim and tire should end up being virtually the same. You should have zero problem making the switch.

Oh I should add a caveat. The platinum lightning has a good chunk of its tow rating and payload reduced. A lot of it has to do with the extra weight of all the extra stuff but I am sure some of it has to do with the low profile tires. If you are someone that maxes out towing and payload, you may want to look into that first.
