Is the top of the tire higher than the wheel well lip? If so, how much? From the picture it appears your tire edge is above the lip. The clearance right now, stock, is a good two inches between the top tire edge and the wheel well lip. -
I hear ya. I do like the lower look with the H&R springs. I just don't want to have my warranty voided Anyone look into that? I wonder if I have Ford install the springs... if that would make any difference :ford:

What is the difference from stock height? Did you take any measurements from the tires to the wheel well? -
At night in a parking garage...

Detailing it today. Should have some posted by tomorrow.

Stock rims weigh 23.4 lbs. apiece

Wheels mounted and look great :) The stock 2015 Fusion Titanium wheels weigh 23.4 lbs. apiece. So, a net loss of 8 lbs. When it dries up here, will detail the car and post some pics.

Do they tint the rear window in one piece? It's a bear to clean the window... can't imagine the labor tinting it :drop: -
Wheels received today .. a week earlier than expected! :yahoo: The weight is 21.4 lbs apiece Having them mounted on Saturday :drool: Will weigh one of the stock wheels after removal, to obtain a differential - - - Just finished unboxing and checking for damage. Decided to weigh all four wheels for quality control Each wheel weighs exactly 21.4 lbs. :clapping: Anyone know why TireRack doesn't sell TSW?

Hi All, After shopping around for a couple months, I decided on the TSW Chicane - black/mirror cut face - 17x8 (40mm offset) Will post the specs when they arrive and pics after mounting

I think it's a wash at $2.50 for a full charge as gas here was around 4.70 per gallon the last time I filled up (5 weeks ago in my Focus before trading it in). I seem to get about 25 miles from a charge as I drive like an old lady in this car :) I also charge up at Whole Foods a couple of times per week for free. I'm approaching 600 miles on the original tank from the dealer (purchases July 31, 2015) and I've put in about $9 in electricity. I've got just under a quarter tank of gas left. My overall mileage is 62 mpg, currently. Bottom line - I'm loving this ride! :happy feet:

Does anyone use the 'Auto' setting by choice?
Bud replied to Bud's topic in Energi Driving Tips & Tricks
Thanks for the explanations. It makes sense now about pressing the button 3x when the state of charge in EV Later is higher than when initially set. Otherwise, the car will basically drive in Auto until the initial threshold of EV Later is met. It seems if EV Later is set, the car should continue refilling the HVB without re-setting the threshold with the 3x press. When full, it should then switch to Auto - saving the entire HVB for later use. As far as driving down short steep hills in Low and Hill Assist mode for long down grades - we know the battery is being replenished because of the up-arrow above the battery symbol in the center display? Is it more efficient to use these modes than feather the brake for the regenerative action? Do they both replenish the HVB at the same rate? How about using Low and feathering the brakes? Is the regenerative action doubled or is is the same? I notice when in cruise control and the car needs to slow, the regenerative braking symbol shows on the center display whereas shifting into Low and Hill Assist shows the up-arrow above the battery. Are all modes turning the electric motor into a generator and returning the same amount of energy to the HVB? -

Does EV later work similar to Auto ... but maintain a minimum level of HVB charge? I can't count the number of times I've been in EV Later and see the EV mode kick in on both surface streets and the freeway. Is this just the car utilizing the small hybrid portion of the HVB? I'd love to know how to keep the car in the mode set when turned off so it doesn't default back to Auto every time it's started. -
Have the hill-assist as a setting (on/off) and place the EV controls where the hill assist button is on the shifter. The hill assists could also be triggered by quickly/lightly touching the brake while going down a hill.
