Welcome and congratulations! Recently the forum moved to this new platform and/or interface. I think some of the photos, like the ones that were on this thread originally, did not move over or make it over with the change. The moderator, Robert Mauro, will know if they may be archived elsewhere. Safe travels!

That makes sense - thnx for info!

Tried searching but can't find pics of anyone who has painted/powder coated/plastidipped/etc the 18inch stock wheels black. Also a bunch of legacy pics in the forum are missing so that doesn't help either lol.

Has anyone done this that can post pics? Thanks!

?? This is my first time posting since becoming a member but it's so worth it after seeing your Ascent. It looks amazing! Good job!

I hope I can make mine look as nice after I take delivery in September for my 2020 CWP Limited.

They are GORGEOUS!!!

Oh, and for anyone considering these beastly rims, they come in a neat two tone that I'd consider if my Ascent was a different color than dark grey.

Those sand rims would look fantastic on a brown touring.

Holy hell, 265/70r17? Do you have a lift? Any rubbing? Has it been of road yet? What's it do to gas mileage? How's the ride noise? Are you liking the pirelli's?

Yes it's currently lifted 1.5" in the front and 2" in the rear. It's a lift kit we designed with Subtle-Solutions. I take it off-road often. Take a look at my Instagram for photos of it off-roading. There's no rubbing as I modified my wheel wells to accept this tire size. There is increased road noise, there's no way around it but its bearable. The pirelli's have been awesome so far. I have roughly 10k on the tires and lift. Averages about 18mpg in the city.

Only thing I notice was a loss in mpg before I would average 24 now I’m down to 19 mpg no bushings installed just the lift and wheels

do you know what the reason of loss in mpg would be ? just curious

Can share a little more detail about modifying the wheel wells? Thanks!

 

[Riley]

what would be the best tires for least rubbing? also thinking of going down to 1.5 from a 2.0, good idea or bad idea? is there a difference in handling?

Just picked up our 2020 this week.


Shoutout to Matt at Discount tire (on this forum) for the killer deal on this setup. And not letting me talk myself into a "safer" size.

Very slightly rubs at full lock on uneven ground.

Taylorrray,
Looks great! On a side note about your black out job. Did you use vinyl or Plasti-dip?

PLASTI-DIP I have been using if for over 8 years now. $20 and a day for a perfect black out.

Nice. For the Chrome Delete, Plasti-dip or vinyl wrap?
