2012 Picture Track down - roof rack

[jcerrion]

Guys, I need some help. Can anyone help me track down a contact to the owner of this 2012 explorer? I love his tire setup, and the look with a roof rack. i want to get info on the specs of this setup. such as:

Wheels-? size, brand
Tires-? size, brand
lift or suspension adjustment?
new clearance with rack installed? (garages? (im guessing no))

I can't help you on the tires, but regarding the roof rack, I installed a 2003 ford explorer NBX roof rack made by yakima and it works great! I can PM you a photo if you are willing to post it on this thread (I don't have image hosting service) This roof rack bolts right onto the OEM roof rack cross bars

I'm going to guess the tires are Nittos of some kind and I think the wheels are made by KMC probably in the XD series.

Thanks for posting and yes, the roof rack does clear our garage door.
