• Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my SUV" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your leather interior, please post in the Interior section - and so on...

I am not a car person. I couldn't tell you anything about the wheels on any car we've owned, and who cares? That being said, I really dislike the wheels on my 2021 S. The longer I have it the more they irritate me. To the point of spending the money to change them out. I like these much, much better! (The original wheels are now for sale in SW Ohio.)

Wow! That is a huge improvement. Those wheels look like coming from a BMW or a Mercedes. What size are the wheels and tires? Looks stock too but beefy.

Those heart wheels are terrible. One of the reasons I didn't get the premium package on my EX.

20x8.5. Just moved the stock Pirelli tires to the new wheels.

the more I see the Black Rhino Arches, the more I like them, especially in bronze or gunmetal. Do they come in 17" (just clearing the calipers) as well as 18"?

From what I’ve heard some 17” will clear. I know the specific Arches wheel does clear just fine in 17 or 18”. They are just so nice looking I had to go 18” to see more.

Is there any change to the ride since the tires are now stretched a little making wider footprint and lower wall. When I changed my Outback wheels to just 1/2 in wider, the ride was a bit firmer.

Oh, if you have a pic of the rear 1/4 view please post so we can see how wider they look.
thx
 
Yes you are. You just needed the Telluride to bring that side of you out.
Haha, exactly what I’ve been telling my friends, you dont know if you are a car person until you drive the right one.

Thx but I was interested in Keg’s as I might change the stock 20” to a little wider and keep the tires.
 
Question, so based off going from my 245 to 265 tire size, my speedometer is now off by 2mph. So when it says im going 70 im actually going 72mph. My mpg reading seems slightly off, so how much? If i made a guess if it says im getting 20mpg im really getting about 21mpg? Can anyone help?

You need to find out the % difference of overall diameter. Apply that difference to your mileage, unless there is a better way. What’s are complete sizes of your oe and custom tires? Use the site below.

It went from 29.5 to 30.5” so 3%. So your saying if my reading is 20mpg I’m actually getting 20.6mpg? Thanks!
 
Yup, I think so. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

There's no difference.
