07MKZman Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 I want to put 20" rims and tires on my 2007 Lincoln MKZ but I'm not quite sure if they will fit and if they do fit will they rub? I have been trying to look for this answer for about a week now. HELP ME PLEASE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eslagel Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I run 26.9" diameter tires on my 2010 MKZ, clearance is closest at the bulge in the rear side of the fender inner liner Towards the bottom when turning. About 3/16". If your 07 has the same suspension you should be able to run a 20" wheel just do not exceed 26.9" diameter tire. You need to watch the width of the tire that you choose and the back spacing on the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ishansharma2 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 (edited) I'm running 20 x 8.5 +35 wheels with 255/30/20 rubber on a 2010 MKZ. No rubbing at all. Ride quality has suffered somewhat, but in all honestly it's not as bad as it's made out to be. Keep in mind performance will also suffer a little if each rim+tire is heavier than stock setup. Not enough to bother me however. Handling is awesome now. Rims are more prone to potholes, but now I can avoid them more ;) Edited April 17, 2014 by ishansharma2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanc212 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Eslagel, I'm also interested on the tire/rim size your running specifically. I know it's 26.9" overall diameter, which I'm glad to hear fits. But knowing the width would be great. I'm also thinking about using spacers to further widen the tire..

EatDirtFartDust Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I've seen 20s on an old-style MKz. Looks ok. Rides like shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
