So I just put these rims and tires on my truck. I love them and think it looks really good, but the 275-30-20 tires look small in the wheel well. Does anyone have any input on the best way to lower it without compromising the quality of the ride? And I’d live to hear if you like the look so far. Nobody in my family or friends are very enthused but I’m stoked.. before and after
(A couple of the pics were before I put the black lugs on it.

IIRC there is an outfit that makes performance lowering packages for 2G Explorers, maybe you can check with them?

Like the look and bell tech I believe still makes some lowering springs be wary they said they drop 2 inches or so but it’s actually closer to a 3-4 inch drop
 






Personally think that even if you lower it they will look small. Might just Be better off getting a larger set of tires to fill the space
