20's are so unneccesary. I would prefer 18's at most for offroading, but with regenerative breaking added to regular brakes they could probably do 17's.

Hopefully 17s will be an option

I posted a couple months ago bout this -- https://www.scoutevforum.com/forum/...s-18-inch-anyone-prefer-17.11033/#post-158266

Scout has confirmed that the smallest wheel that fits currently is an 18" wheel. I assume "currently" means unless/until they re-engineer for the production 2027 Scout. So outlook may not be good for fitting 17" inch wheels on the production Scout vehicles.

18s are better than 20s at least. I just went from 38s on 20s to 40s on 17s on my Ram and the aired down ride quality difference off road is amazing.

Accurate.

18’s would be a nice option.

18’s would be a nice option.

Agreed. Hope we get 18" and 19" factory options. If not, aftermarket wheels companies will no doubt have plenty to offer Scout owners

Less steel more rubber

exactly this. I will never use 20s offroad.

Does anyone have videos of someone of regular height Getting into a scout seat with 35's? I want to know how accessible it would be for short people. It looks to be a tall climb for a daily driver worried the wife or kids will struggle. Retractable runners don't last with salt roads. Combo rock rails wide runners seem to be needed not the mini steps that just break off.

I have no idea how much room they need but if they could do 18s - that would be the win.
I'm betting there's not enough room on a 17 for an electric regen brake setup.

18” wheels should be coming standard. I don’t think 20” will be the norm. Great to see they have the K03’s though. I think I tested the K02’s when I drove a Bronco Raptor
