I am looking at a set of Cobra wheels for my 02 Explorer and was wondering if anyone else has any on their X and if so what size are you running. And could someone post pics please.
Thanks
Andrew

How much would it even cost about to get a set of 4 cobra wheels in 20s? I want to get those or just some 5 star ponies or something.

I was under the impression that the biggest you could get were 18's.

on an '02 and newer you got to go with at least 20s, i'd go for 22s actually. those 20s look small to me on there. My brother has those same wheels on his escape in 20".

I bought mine used but they are made by Dante I believe. Here is another pic. You can see by this pic how the offset is perfect on these wheels:

My ride is perfect so I doubt I'd never go with 22s myself. I am a form follows function kind of guy. It has to work well first.

you can still run a significant sidewall with 22s- but i do respect that reasoning

personally, i think 3rd generation explorers do not fit well with any rims below 20 inches except for their own stock wheels... get 20 or 22.. but moneywisely, i would get 20..
