The offsets puts the rear VERY closed to the inside edge of the truck. I'd say less than an inch.
Are these the Bullitt wheels from OE wheels llc w/ 24mm/22mm offset?

The truck came with a slight tint from the factory, I just added a light tint more all around.

This is what I do. I've done almost a hundred cars, venting the hood. Shoot me an email if any of you guys need it done. RNGALVEZ@MSN.COM

You're explorer is sweet! I'm working on murdering out mine at the moment, but with the very few body work skills I have I know it's not gonna look nearly as good at this. Now I'm gonna be jealous so much of yours.
Either way, yours is awesome! Great work.
