Title: 24's on Lincoln MKT
Post by: akakooper on July 15, 2016, 07:18:53 PM
I finally pulled the trigger.  May not be for everyone but I'm very happy! 

24x9 and 24x9.5 et40.  Dub 3 piece wheel with 255/30r24 all 4 corners

Crappy cell phone pics for now.  All in all, the ride is different but nothing crazy.  More road feel...which to me is not a bad thing.  Looking at springs next and the livernois tune.

Ha! Now that's pretty flip'n funny!

But I will echo the others and go on record as saying those do look pretty damn sharp.

Well executed.

Appreciate it. I was a little afraid they would be too much.

Agreed, laughed out loud. Can appreciate the initial reaction. Thanks for the compliments folks.

3 piece DUB's are a pretty penny too.

Not to mention as are the shoes to wrap them in.

Nice investment for sure.

24's looking anything less than crazy on a wagon (or do they call than an x-over?)?!?!?!?!

Wow! Great choice and good eye!

Not many MKT's on the road.  The 24's make it even more unique.  You're definitely not going to see yourself coming and going.  Nice!

I too was thinking, OH NO..... But like everyone else has said, that looks good. I suppose we need to remind ourselves that it had twenties stock. It's not like you took a car with 16s and tried to put 24s on it......

I agree TSS.  To take it further, he also has the largest vehicle built on our platform.  The MKT is fairly large.  I'd say it carries those 24's pretty well!  I'm conservative and probably would have stuck with 20's, but those 24's look pretty darn good. 

Wonder if there's still room to lower it on those hoops?

If those were on an SHO or MKS, I would have to do as my Mom always said:  "Bruce, if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all."

On an MKT, 24s are OK I guess.....  :)

Thanks for all the compliments!  Means a lot coming from everyone on this board. The diameter change with my set up is about 2.8% larger than stock. Lowering should be possible. If anything I would prefer to bring the rear down just a little.  Maybe .75" to level things. Tons of room in the rear, front is pretty tight. Top of the front tire is very close to the strut. 

I think I would rather get the tune from livernois which can be programmed to the increase in diameter.

The ride is surprisingly good. The wife said she can't really tell. Now if I hit a pot hole or curb, it's a little jarring. All to be expected.

Definitely, the nice thing about any tune is it can adjust the tire height so the PCM knows what it needs to know :)

On the first page of this thread, there are numerous pics of the car on 24's.
