I hope I'm posting in the right forum. If not I apologize and will move if need be.....
I have a 2012 Limited Edition Explorer, And have been on the hunt for a set of 24" rims that are to my liking. I recently came across an individual who has a set of 5 lug (114.3) 24x10 in rims with no tires. I am completely in love with the type of rim and price.
Here's my question. I can recall about 6 months ago I was looking for a set of rims and tires online and was told if I am remembering correctly the maximum width I can go on my Explorer is 9.5" wide. In the same breath I almost remember him telling me I could use a 10" wide tire with the appropriate size diameter tire.
One of the major discrepancies I'm faced with right now is not knowing the offset of the rim that I am wanting to buy used online. I've asked the individual to take some pictures of the inside of the rim hoping there is a stamp that would reference the offset. I'm hoping there's someone out there on this planet that has put a 24" rim possibly 10" wide set up on a 2012 Ford Explorer.
I know this is also a stretch but I looked up a set of lowering Springs for my truck and came across a set that would lower the rear 1.75" and lower the front less then 1 and basically leveling out the vehicle. The Springs obviously would be something to do down the road but ultimately I would love not to have some huge gap between the tire and the Fender as I have seen on 2 vehicles in the past. 1 guy had a bone stock 2013 explore. With a set of 24" tires with no Springs. And there was 3 to 4" between the top of the tire and the wheel well. It basically looked like a roller skate on steroids.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated....
Thanks in advance for taking the time to read and reply.....
