Explorer with OEM 20" Flex Wheels?

JCStevens85 · 09-13-2010, 12:33 PM

Hello, I'm new to Explorer Forums, and am trying to find if anyone has put the Ford Flex 20's on their Explorer. I really like the Adrenalin wheels but I have a hard time spending $1700 on them. The flex wheels have a similar look but I want to see what they look like mounted. Thanks, Jeff

Sorry I can't help you, but I was interested too as I am in need of a winter set of wheels/tires and there were a set of 18 flex wheels for sale near me. I have a feeling the offset may be a little different, and am concerned they may not stick out as far as my explorer 20's.

They will fit. I have the Ford Accessories 20's from an Edge on My Mountaineer. All I had to do was cut a hole in the rear lining of the rear center caps to get them to clear the axle nut. The fronts mounted up just fine with no mod at all. Even the tpms synced up.
