2022 Platinum delivered!
Just picked up my Carbonized platinum last night. Wheel upgrade is job 1. I measured overall hight of wheels/tires at 33”. If I target that as a overall hight and dont go too much wider on tire width, i should avoid any interference issues, correct? Also, could folks post pics and specs of their wheel upgrades? Thank you!!

Hi Roscoe, add me to your list. I would be very interested in the Platinum rims and tires.

I really like the Pro wheel and tire package on mine. If I had a Limited I’d want to drop back down to a 20” or 18” wheel.

The carbonized 20" Lariat wheels would be a great look for you, General Grabber A/S 275/60 116 T, I think.

curious if you found anything. I’m in the same boat. Have a Platinum and looking for something different. The 22x8.5” wheel seems hard to find though. Lots of 22x10 but I’d like to avoid adding extra width and rolling resistance if I can.

I’m on the fence on powder coating my platinum wheels black- just not sure if that will help or make a bad situation worse

I am going to do the Perelli Scorpion All Terrain in a 265/65/20. It’s the same width and an inch taller and the Venom Rex as well.
I run my tires on the higher side of PSI as well for town driving. 45-48. I’m hoping to see little to no reduction.

What’s been your experience?

What are you seeing kW/M difference?
I haven't noticed much of a range difference, but to be honest....I don't track the kW/M data very closely

I'd be careful with taller tires...I have a 2" level kit and get a slight rub only in reverse

Haven't seen a noticeable difference in range
