Biggest tires possible on 2020 MKZ with 20s

[sixdog76]

I'm putting some 20x8.5 Lexani Wraith wheels on my mkz how big can I go with tires to preserve as much of the smooth ride as possible?

 

I would love to do 245/40/20, wondering what anyone else experience is. Will that rub for sure?

Hi sd and welcome to the Lincoln MKZ Forum. Take a look at this tire size calculator and input the stock and contemplated wheel/tire sizes. What you are thinking of will result in a tire that is a full 1" taller than stock. It will likely rub at the extremes of turn lock, compression etc.

It will also throw off your speedometer and odometer more than is normally acceptable. But that is not a major issue.

 

Good luck.
