    New Wheels for my 4th Gen

    So if my OEM wheels are 16x7 +44 with a 4.5" backspace. How much further out will a 16x8 +13 with 5" backspace sit compared to the OEM wheels? My other option is a 16x7 +38 with 5.5" backspace wheel. But this is where I get confused, if backspace and offset are 2 different ways of measuring...

    New to the board, have a few ?'s

    Yeah, ventshades. I noticed there was a few brands to choose from, was looking for some opinions? After doing some research on another forum I decided to go with GE Nighthawk bulbs but I still need to do something about the fog lights. Has anybody bought these replacement lenses...

    New to the board, have a few ?'s

    Whats up everyone, I just found this board tonight while running a search on google for Explorer parts. I bought a 95 XLT last Fall and so far Ive been very happy with it besides the poor light output. I polished the headlight lenses today and that made them look alot better but now Im...
