offset

I have a 2002 Ford Explorer xlt with a 3" spacer lift and a 3" body lift, I am wondering what is the MINIMUM offset I need to run 35x12.5s and clear the UCAs. I currently have 35x12.5 tires with -12 offset but I would like to go with a smaller offset to ease the stress off of the wheel bearings...

I recently traded my crown victoria for a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport. It came with these god awful 24” rims and I absolutely hate it. I found a set of wheels that are 15’s by 10.5 wide. They have a -44 offset though and i am just wondering will they fit on a stock height explorer. And if so what...

I'm purchasing new wheels for my 2010 Explorer XLT--nice looking, darker grey ones to go with my dark grey late-build model. I have P235/70R16 tires, and plan to stick with them. New winter tires are going on the old rims (actually, old rims from a 2002 explorer, which raises a separate TPMS...

Ok so I have a 2008 Mercury mountaineer base model 4.0 v6 sohc. I would like to put some steel rims with a 0 offset on her to widen her wheelbase. I live in the country and with the roads the way that they are I know it will be beneficial. I added a set to my 98 explorer and it helped stabilize...

2006 xls, stock everything. Right now I'm running 245/70/r16 and plan on putting the Rancho quick lift leveling kit on it. I want to put taller tires on it but what I'm looking at is i currently only have about a half inch clearance between the sidewall and the upper control arm. I'm afraid a...
