- 2001 explorer 4.0 SOHC
Hi guys! It's been awhile since my last post, been working a lot, and the explorer hasn't given me any new problems! 
so anyway, i'm looking to buy some wheels for the truck, i'm going with Pro Comp from Summitracing.com, the Series 52 wheels. I'm looking at 15x8 with a lug pattern of 5x4.5'' which i found is the right pattern for my explorer (2001 xlt 4.0 sohc). The only question i have, is what backspacing/offset do i need?
They are available in (backspace/offset)= 2.5"BS/-50mm OS, 3.75" BS/-19mm OS, or 4.5" BS/ 0mm Offset..
i'd like to know if anyone has any of these backspaces, how well they work... i'm hoping to get some wheels that stick out just a tiny bit past the fender... Hoping to go with 31x10.5's, but i'll go smaller if i have to, to get them to stick out from the fender a little.
any help, or advice, is greatly appreciated!!
and pics of rides with any of those backspacings would be great too!
Thanks guys!!
