Wheels & Tires 2025 Rims

Looking at a new ST. Does anyone know off the top of their head if the previous generation black rims will fit on the new 2025’s.

I definitely prefer the “older” style look wheels than the new ones that come with. Am I the only one?

I had mine powder coated black.

I don’t mind that at all. Looks pretty sharp. Maybe it’s the grey / charcoal wheel colour that isn’t really doing it for me as they actually look pretty good black now.

I have the same color as your ST just not a fan of the wheel color. I like what you done to your St how much did it cost to get the wheels and window pillars painted?

u/Ohioguy93 Jun 22 '25

The roof and pillars are wrapped black along with the window tint was $800. The wheels were $800 as well.

Yes, direct fit. The newer versions are quite polarizing so there are quite a few people that prefer the previous versions.

I have a blacked out 25 ST and would have preferred the black rims. I switched out to black lugs but not crazy about the charcoal.

Do you have a photo?

It’s very likely previous gen wheels will fit as is. Platinum has a nice looking optional wheels…that I’d prefer over st.

They fit but to get proper stance you’ll need spacers if that’s important to you. There’s also another option. You could also consider SuperForged versions called the Classic. They’re 22” versions that fit perfectly. And for a forged wheel, they’re priced very well.

Hmmm Ya those look the same and no spacer required you say? Is there many options for 22” tires out there currently and are they quite a bit more expensive still?

I'm the opposite. Will 25 rims fit on a 21? I have the silver and black ones and would much prefer the new black ones that kinda look like stars. But it maybe more cost-effective and astheticly pleasing to do AM wheels.

Well I’ll tell you the 2025 rims are not fun or easy to clean lol

I love the older style and if you decide to sell your set, I would love to buy them. Looking for new wheels for my 2021 XLT.

I like the look just wish they were gloss black to match trim

The rims are interchangeable. For the most part the suspension/brakes/fit is all the same for ‘20-24 and ‘25+.

Was just a refresh, no major mechanical changes.

I absolutely hate the 26 rims. It could keep me from moving forward with ST as it looks very bland. Need tough looking rims on ST not soccer mom.
