here are my new wheel and tires. The wheels are 20x8.5 with +35mm offset. The tires are 275/55/20 Goodyear Wranglers... soon to be replaced with 285/50/20 BFG All Terrain:) The only rubbing issue is on the sway bar at full lock that plagues every Explorer with non-stock wheel/tires. I will get some "before" pictures posted soon.

~THE GENERAL~ After alot of planning, saving , and waiting I finally have purchased my new setup: BFG AT 31's and MT Classic II. It looks great on my rig and I have gotten alot of compliments. One big prob is they do rub on the wheel wells when you turn the tires almost all the way left or right. I had to take off the plastic piece that has a lip that extends in the wheel well , for one of the tires ripped one of them off. Hopefully, this weekend I will get the TT done and put some shackles on to elminate my problems. Not much power loss to be noticed, tires make nice humming noise at low speeds, car rides better than with Wrangler RTS.....I'm Real Happy With IT~~ BEFORE : Dead Link Removed AFTER : Dead...
