- 2006 Explorer XLT V8
hey guys
i just got an 06 explorer xlt v8, and im lovin it! i have 3 questions though
on the stock suspension, what is the largest tire size i can fit without rubbing fenders or hitting the suspension/steering(or any other issues)? stock size is a 245/65r17. a 265/60r17 would be perfect but its a very uncommon size, but i dont know if a 265/65r17 will fit or not without any issues. what i would love is to put a set of 265/65r17 bfg all terrains on it
also, with the larger tires, is it possible to re-calibrate the ecm to show the correct speed rating on the speedo? i've seen this done on some f150's, not sure if the same thing would apply here.
if i can re-calibrate the speedo, how would i do it? do i need to use a ford scantool or would a snap-on modus suffice?
thx guys!
EDIT: can a mod move this to the tires and wqheels section? thx
