Hey, I am planning on getting a set of new wheeles for my explorer. They are American Racing, but the place I am buying them from has 3 different models of the same wheel. They are all 15" and all the same wheel, just different specs I guess. Can ya'll let me know what you think would the best option for me?

First: Series AR-767 Black Wheel, 10 Spoke Design, 15 x 8, Back Spacing 4 3/4", Offset 6, Bolt Circle 5 x 4.5

Second: Series AR-767 Black Wheel, 10 Spoke Design, 15 x 7, Back Spacing 4.5, Offset 15, Bolt Circle 5 x 4.5

Third: Series AR-767 Black Wheel, 10 Spoke Design, 15 x 7, Back Spacing 4, Offset 0, Bolt Circle 5 x 4.5

Here is what the wheel looks like:

What size tire are you going to run? And the second option is really just a stock explorer wheel if I remember correctly. Personally I would look around some more I know there are places that offer that wheel in a lot more sizes.

http://store.summitracing.com/ has 11 different sizes. And if I was buying the wheel I would buy one like this 15x8 with 3.75 BS that will let you run 31x10.5 with almost no problem, and this is the most common setup.

Here's a pic of mine with some black wheels, just for a visual

It all depends on what size tire you're going to run.

I just bought 15x8s with 3.75" backspacing, but i have 35's and a lift. Everything fits with no rubbing, much more backspacing probably would rub.
