    Staggered 20's

    Does anyone know if the 20x10.5 rear wheels will fit on the Explorer? I found a good deal on a new set of bullitt wheels. Fronts are 20x9" with a 24mm offset and the rears are 20x10.5 with a 27mm offset. I am thinking 275/45-20 on all four corners. Any advise?

    Adrenalin Style 18's??

    Just have to but do they make this style in 18's? I emailed this guy in this ad - http://miami.craigslist.org/brw/pts/2309542600.html and asked him if he was mistaken and meant to put 20" wheels. He emailed back and said they are 18's. I have searched all over the internet for 18" versions...

    Opinions Please!!

    I wanted to get your opinions before I go see if these fit my Ex. They need to be refinished but there under $300 for 20's. My issue is I need new tires for my 17's and I figured if I can find a decent set of 20's then the 20" tires will always be cheaper to replace than the 17's. Could be...

    Belltech springs

    Just wondering if Belltech springs are not worth the hassle. I have a chance to get a brand new set pretty cheap. I heard they throw off the camber pretty bad as well as a really harsh ride. I'd like to hear from people that have experience these springs on 3rd Gen Explorers.

    Belltech / Ground Force springs

    Would anyone be interested in trading their GF springs for some Belltech's? I have an opportunity to buy a brand new set of Belltech springs for a great price but don't want to lower my truck that much. I drive my truck daily and don't want the harsh ride. They are in a factory sealed...

    Can't decide....opinion please!!

    What do you guys think about these? I am not the greatest fan of chrome wheels but they are priced pretty good. They already have the TPS sensors installed too. This way i can get a little more for my stock 17's since I'll keep the sensors installed. Please give me your opinions!!

    Lowered with 22's (ride quality?)

    I was wondering how bad the ride is on an Explorer lowered with 22's. I am due for tires and looking to sell my stocks and get some 20s or 22s. I live in FL so the roads are typically nice with an occasional pot hole or two. I'd appreciate info from anyone that has experience with this setup..

    LF wheel bearing issue

    I was wondering if anyone else has installed a new wheel bearing and heard the same roaring noise when making a turn. I just replaced a (6 months old) wheel bearing assembly last week and still heard the same sound when turning right. I thought it might have been the tire so I got them rotated...

    Saleen Wheels on X...

    I am still shopping around for some 20s for my X. Money is the issue but I am doing a lot of research to find what I really want in the process. I started to look for the old style 5 star Saleen wheels and came across some interesting info on 05 and up Saleen wheels. I know the 05 and up...

    Center Console

    Well I am starting my 'quad' seat set up a little backwards. I just ordered the center console today. I found a set of Aviator leather seats but they are grey and I am trying to hold out for Medium Parchment Explorer seats so they are an exact match. I am very tempted to buy them and just...

    2nd row seat option

    I am trying to switch from the 60/40 bench to the bucket seat and console combo. I found some grey Aviator seats for $120 in decent condition. My interior is the medium parchment so I was wondering if I should wait for actual explorer seats so they will look uniform or should I get the Aviator...

    Aviator 2nd row Seats

    Will 03-05 Aviator 'bucket' seats work in our Explorers? Found a set for $120 nearby. However they are not the same color and I will still need to find the seatbelts mounts. Let me know what you think. I want the buckets so I can have some reclining seats in the back. My seats feel like you...

    2nd gen aftermarket wheels on 3rd gen

    I was wondering if 22's from a 2nd gen Ex will fit on a 3rd gen Ex. I've seen some threads where people ask about the other way but non on the 2nd gen to 3rd gen fitment. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

    2003-04 Cobra Wheels

    Hey I am currently bidding on 3 2003-04 Cobra Wheels with tires under $100 through a local police auction. Do you think they are worth it? They are not in the best shape but the tires seems to be pretty good, however they are 275/45-17 which are to small for my Ex. The plan is to flip them...

    18s or 20s - 3rd Gen X

    I was trying to get everyones opinion on my choice for wheels. I either want the 18X9 black Saleen (5 spoke) replicas or 20X9 silver Bullitt replicas. I know 20s look better but I can get the 18s for a better price and not have to come out of cash after I sell my stock 17" sport wheels. I...

    Opinions - HIDs or PIAA 9006

    I have been wanting to improve my headlights and was about to purchase some DDM HIDs (4500K) and read about the designs of HID headlights. I have read where the non-HID headlights will scatter the light and be worse then the standard bulb. I was looking at the PIAA Ultra White bulbs which are...
