About to order -- Help

[zPike00EB]

I bought the tires, Now I need the Rims for a 2000 Explorer. The bolt pattern is 5 on 4.5 -- But thats ALL I know.

The tires are 33x12.50x15.

Will these rims work:

Not sure on backspacing.. etc.


Do you need to buy new lugs or anything else?

I think you might have too much backspace on those. They'll fit your truck no problem, but with more backspace than stock the wheel will be pulled closer in to the truck. I think. Check out this thread, I've been looking at it a lot lately, but I might be confused, its been known to happen, lol. You have enough lift to clear 33s right? I don't THINK that you'll have any issues with that set up, just depends how much you want the wheel to be pushed outside the body.

Most of us use a wheel with 3.75" back spacing. The 4" wheel could work, but just keep an eye out for rubbing on the back wheel well, fender area. Yes you will need new lugs for those wheels, at least I did. What type of lift do you have right now for those tires to fit? A 4" suspension lift alone will prolly need a little trimming done. A body lift with the suspension lift will work, a TT with a body lift will work also. Just wondering.

[zPike00EB]

Those might work, but for the price, How much difference would .25" make??

Anyone running 4.00"?

1/4 inch , , you gotta be kidding me,, Gman has them rims on his truck , he knows they work, , as do about 1000 others on here,, same rims,, same backspace,.,

the extra it puts them out means more cutting on the bumper and the fender,,

 

[zPike00EB]

Those rims are backordered too.

Is anyone running 4.00" backspacing?

 

[corkey]

the 4.00 inch will work, it is not that different,, the wheel just hangs out 1/4 inch more,, it should be okay,
i did a bit of searching after my other post, seems there are alot running the 3.75 , and alot with 4.00,

When shopping for 3.75 back spaced wheels, sometimes they don't offer the English measurement. Look for -19 mm it is the same as 3.75". If you don't have to run black, you have hundreds of options out there to fit your budget needs.

I had to get the 16"s because the 15's were to small. They rubbed inside on the brakes. but I believe it is just the sport that has the larger rotors so you should be fine. http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=CRR-3977812P&N=700+115&autoview=sku those are the ones i ended up with and they fit fine.
