35" tires (35's) on the Scout - size 35x12.5R20 BFG KO3

[Macallan 18]

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

Ya I bet that 18" wheels will be the standard base wheel size. With the projected $50K starting price, the base model Scout is going to be pretty basic. And 18" wheels is one way of keeping the cost / price down.

Remember we're looking at concept Scouts still. And concepts always feature big wheels with beefy tires to look their best... like the 20" wheels do on the Scout Traveler and Terra concepts. ?

Honestly I might go with the 20” depending on how it is designed.

Me too. The Scout is a BIG vehicle. Thats why 20" wheels look so proper on it. And it can obviously still fit some big tires on it even with 20" wheels so it'll still wheel great.

Give me 18" wheels and 33" tires please. No need for a 35.

I'm torn because they look so good - but I tend to agree with you...

I'm good with 20s, but more for looks than real off road capability. Either with those or another rim size I hope there's the ability to choose the Michelin Defender LTX M/S 2 or a similar tire with same load rating. This is going to be my daily driver, so noise, energy consumption, and street traction/performance in all conditions will be top priorities. If not, those are going on day one and the K03s onto a spare set of lower cost rims for the rare off road experience.

Wheels and tires are like diamonds.
-They are never too big.

Unless your state in NJ where we have tire regulations.

Anyone else catch this optional wheel & tire package in the latest Scout reel on Instagram?

Those look like they are 22’ wheels

Jamie from Scout Motors mentioned them over at the Scout Motors Forum: "This was an early development/design build. I believe the wheels were just generic aftermarket pieces." Make of that what you will.

Ah, I see. I don't like the setup as much as what we've seen on the production-intent vehicles. I was just curious.
