every stock explorer rim is 7" wide, i know this cause im tryn to get 33s for my 98X aswell, the tyre shops wont fit 33s on a stock 7" rim,, they will tell you it wont fit and that you need 15x8 rims.

see thats a bunch of crap..... a 33 will fit on a 7" rim... its not an ideal setup for many reasons.... i have personally mounted 33x12.5x15s onto 15x6 rims....

They tell you that for liability reasons, and not just for an explorer. There are some shops that will mount them for you but not many. They will fit though.

Everywhere should have no problem mounting a 10.5" tire on a 7" wheel.

There is no reason that they should refuse to put 10.5s on a 7" rim. None.
