Thumbs up Put on some OEM 20s today

I wasn't sold on the new 20s until I started seeing them in person. Not too bad for factory ford. Anyone know how much the dealers charge to reflash the computer for the bigger tires?

Thanks, if they want an arm and a leg I'll just use that as an excuse to buy an Edge Evo.

More than it is worth. Have you done the math to see what the difference is? It may be less than 3%

There is a few centimeters difference. I'm going to pull out the GPS tomorrow and compare it to the speedo.

I'd almost hesitate to say it but you may be closer to an accurate spped now with the variances seen in these speedo's.

Looks sharp BTW.

Don't bother with the reflash,it won't be needed. I had the 235-75 -17 Hankooks and went up to the factory 20s with the 275 series pirellis.My speedo was originally off about 4mph and now is perfectly accurite as measured with my garmin gps. Also no noticable difference in performance other than the shift points feel better.

They look nice!! Where did you get them, and if you don't mind sharing, how much did they cost? I've been looking to do the same to my Expedition.

Thanks for the comments, I am happy with this setup. I found them on Craigslist. Offered the guy $800, he came back with $1K, we settled on $900. I don't think that's too bad considering they are going for $1,200+ on ebay + shipping. I should make some of it back by selling the factory 18s.
