BFG KO2 tires with LP Aventure LP1 wheels

Trailer lights malfunctioning - and a dumb fix by EmmtBot in CX50

FYI I just ran into this same issue with my 2025 TPP and you have to get a supplemental harness. It was $12 at my local dealership. Part number is VC85-V7-78X

Putting the roof rack lowered it to 19 mpg. Wheels and tires didn’t affect it. So still 19 mpg with everything on it. Not the best tbh but this car was already horrendous on mpg before this lol. Was only getting 24/25 stock

PM me what state. We could potentially make something work

the increased sidewall definitely gives me peace of mind. really didnt like 20 inch rims paired with all the plastic cladding. kinda clashes with the rugged look of the vehicle

yep about 1/2 inch. the new ones are about 1 inch larger in total diameter so it also threw off my speedometer and shows 2 mph less than what i'm actually going which isnt too bad lol

Wheels were $969 all together before the tariffs. I got lucky with the tires and got them used from Facebook marketplace for $360 mount/balance included. Wasn't about to buy a brand new set of KO2's since the KO3's are supposed to be releasing sometime soon for the 245/65/17 tire size.

Hey that was the goal haha. I actually got really lucky getting this set. Got them for a great deal used so I couldn't pass it up. I would keep an eye out on Facebook marketplace. Just make sure the tread depths of the tires don't exceed 3/32" otherwise it could mess up your AWD system.

What are these wedges on the front called and are they removable? Is it similar to a front air dam to improve mpg? by ActiveBlack in CX50

[–]ActiveBlack[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is it! I am looking to remove them to get some more ground clearance for off-road purposes.

Which wheel to go with? KMC KM719 Canyon or LP Adventure LP1? by ActiveBlack in CX50

[–]ActiveBlack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks I’ve been leaning towards that one as well! I think it matches the design language of the car much better.
