33" tires on 18's??

[ghurst10]

Just wondering if anyone has this setup on their lifted ex cause I'm looking into doing this myself. I'm looking into either 285/65/18's or 295/65/18's. Any info would be a huge help. And my ex currently has a 1.5 inch spacer lift and a 3 inch body lift with 285/75/16 tires

Macknos94 was running 35's on 20" rims with his 3" suspension lift and 3" body lift....it's the largest setup that has been seen on here. Don't think anybody has done 18's yet....

Ok so it I think I'll be ordering some 295/65/18 Nitto Trail Grapplers with these wheels: http://www.wheelwarehouse.com/p-4135-black-rhino-wheels-rockwell-gloss-black.aspx. Let me know what you think of this combo.

mine is apart in garage right now, doing 2.25 spacer, 3 inch body, i have 305-55-20 nitto terra grapplers going on... they are 32x12, i have 20x9 rims with 4.5 backspacing, the tires are going to stick out a lot!

That combo will look really nice on your Ex ghurst. I really like the Sabi rims only if they were available in gloss black and not just matte black. Jetjock, I am looking forward to seeing updated pics when you get it all installed.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm just hoping the 295's will fit without rubbing.

ghurts & jet,

Those combos sound great! Looking forward to pics also. Only reason I havent switched to a 17, 18 or 20 is the obvious--price--33's in any of those sizes are really expensive.

got the BTF spacers in, got the wheel alignment this morning, working on body lift today and tomorrow, will be done by fri eve, i have no idea how to do pics on this forum, i could post a link to photobucket?

upload the pics to photobucket or any other site, I use imgur.com. then click the button that looks like a mountain and sun and enter in the url of the image, not the site, but the image. it will have some html, the website, somemore html, but when you publish it, your picture will be in that place. Good luck with the rest of your project! Those wheels should look great on your ex too. I prefer a 5 spoke wheel, but to each his own. The spoke style, though, looks close to my stock rims, that I painted flat black. Be sure to post pics when you are done!!

Also, I am planning on doing the pa 883 body lift, so if you could, please post on what you thought about installing it, any problems you had, etc. Thanks!

Start a new thread showcasing your Explorer....it will likely get a lot more attention rather than posting in someone else's

my wheels are KMC Hoss black, im eating lunch, got all the body mounts exposed, taking a break, will start again later, probably finish tonight! Ya i will start a new thread with pics, sorry for posting in this one...

Looking forward to pics. Can you tell us where you got the tires and roughly how much they were?

I posted a new topic with pics, i got the tires off craigslist used for couple hundred, about 50% tread left, new they are a ton of money.
