22inch rims

[IrishSwede]

Greetings from Sweden, Where the girls are hot but the weathers not!
I Got a 1999 4.0 V6 `black edition` Explorer on stock 16inch rims,

Can anybody tell me quickly do 22x9 or 9.5inch rims fit well without rubbing or suspension lifting required?? and what would be the best tyre combo 265/40, 265/35, or 275/ ?? ??
I saw a set of STATUS kingpin 22´´ spacing 5x4.5, 114.3(euro) look like they fit, should they come with their own Bolts, and centring Rings to sit on the Hub?

Please reply quickly, as this is my first posting

Welcome to this forum! Those rims might be too big to put on without lifting it.

Contact Rubyslow. He had 22s before "the accident."

Thanks mate,

Sweet pictures of yr EXPLR. I am feeling that `Stealthy` look, not over the top `Bling` as most seem to do, My car is all black, black body, colour coded bumpers(fenders in U.s), tinted windows, crappy 16inch stock rims so fukk that, they gotta go and get me some 22,s ,
cheers,

I have 22" with a 2" drop and there is no rub at all. It doesn't even feel like they are on the car.

I have 22 x 9.5s also on my '98, check the link in my signature. The offset is +15. They only occasionally rub up front at full steering lock like when i'm parking sometimes. I have 265/35/22 tires but would probably recommend the 265/40/22s just to get some extra sidewall.
