Aftermarket wheel question for a 08 xlt

[jakelevy]

Hello,

I am trading my 2010 XLT Ranger for a 2008 XLT Explorer. I currently have 265/50r20's on my Ranger with a 0 offset. I was wondering if these will fit on the explorer without any mods. I have looked at the sticky's and only saw stock wheel application guides. Let me know what you think.

The wheels are 9" wide by the way.

They will most likely fit, but your wheels/tires will stick out quite a ways from the wheel well (may be state laws about that sort of thing, I don't know for VA).

Ranger has the same bolt pattern, studs and hub bore diameter as the Explorers.

The only possible issue would be some sort of interference between the wheel and the brakes (Explorer brakes are larger than Ranger brakes), but with a 20x9 wheel at 0 offset, it's not very likely.

You need at least a -24mm offset or they tend to handle like an empty grain truck. Suspension angles are all off.

You mean a +24mm offset?

A -24mm offset would push the wheels another inch outwards...
