20'' Wheel Backspacing and size experience/recommendations

[98SurfSport2WD]

I have A 98 Sport 2WD Im looking to lower 2-3 inches and put 20'' Bullitt style wheels on. I am looking for some knowledge on backspacing and size. From what ive read so far the 94-04 mustang wheels have better backspacing for my explorer, but i like the 05-up deep dish style(20x8 & 20x10 35mm&45mm offset). Can some members please post pics and or experience on installing 20'' wheels and the backspacing and spacers used?


Thank You

The front 245/45R20 tires hit the swaybar : i will get 13mm spacers tomorrow

It will make the offset go from 25mm to 12mm (stock),
i hope it will be ok
