Aftermarket wheels

[JETZ]

Even more so for my Vette. :smoke:

Where is a good place to start looking for some new wheels? I have checked out Tirerack, Discount Tire a couple others that were listed on this thread. Didn't really see anything I just had to have. Right now I would like to keep 20s on it and I prefer something black or in gun metal. If that helps any. FWIW I checked with HRE, I have always loved their wheels and I knew they are expensive, but I didn't think they would be $7k expensive.

I bought my 22" wheels from Element Wheels. They have a huge selection on their website, but call them when ordering for the best experience...

I just put these wheels on my 2016 this past weekend. They look great, but wish I went with a lower offset...

Suggestion

I have a 2014 Base Black 4wd Explorer. I originally wanted 22inch after market rims yet the price for the tires is almost the same as the rim. Does anyone know if 20's will look to small?

 

[slicky]

That is a question only you can answer. Too small to some, is too big to others. Look at any Sport with OEM wheels. They are 20" and they look right to me. Do they look right to you? ....You have answered your question.

The day I ordered my car, I told my sales guy that I would be putting 22's on !

My point is that the smaller Edge Sport came with 22's , so IMO the Ex looks better with them .

Welcome to the Forum.:wavey:
As mentioned the Sport comes with 20" wheels as do the Limited and Platinum models. Personally. I would prefer an 18" wheel which would give the tire a little more sidewall. To me a 22" just doesn't look right. But that's just me.

Check 14ExplorerNC truck. To me it looks perfect with the 20" aftermarket wheels.

Nice- can you provide the dims/offsets/etc?

 

[billyg900]

stever40 here is the offset and stuff


tires are Falken tz04 285-40/22 they don't rub at all.

here is the site i used to compare tire size to original
Tire Size Calculator - Compare Tire Sizes | Tacoma World

Heres my original thread from 2013 with them on my white 2013
22" Wheels For Explorer

 

[peterk9]

Depending on which size your XLT came with you are either slightly exceeding or greatly exceeding the maximum 3% diameter variance. If yours came with 20" then you are at 3.12% but if it came with 18" then you are over at 4.74%. Larger wheels also put more strain on the brake system. This is primarily why the 3% maximum was put in place.
The 2016 also has a program that you can update with certain tire sizes so that various systems like ABS, TPMS.

With all the onboard electrical systems, changing wheel/tire sizes isn't just as easy as it once was.

I decided on the 20" +35 offset ( just enough poke) Fuel One Piece Assult in Matt black with billet trim. I am riding the original 20"s until they are run out. Love the overall dark look
