16" rims

[dmathews]

I have a 99 and have 16" rims on it with a 255/70/R16 and was wondering how much bigger of a tire that i can put on it without lifting, I have looked at the chart but i could figure it out and I was also wondering if there is anyway that I can make my tires and rims sit out farther from the explorer, I have fender flares and would love to make them go out as far as them. Any help would be appriciated

265/76/16 is the biggest tyre you can fit I think... and wheel/hub spacers will help your wheel stick out further...

do you know where I could get so cheap spacers

I think you can get them off ebay.. not sure... you can probably try summit racing...

I've got that size tyre on my Explorer but I've not spaced the wheels any... you really only need to space the rears....
