I think this combo would look very aggressive on my explorer, but im not sure that a 10.5 wheel will agreee with what i have in mind. Does anyone run the 10.5 on thier truck, if so do you have any photos, i havent been able to find any pics of one anywhere.

Thanks

Edit: I see that they also sell a set of 9" wheels on all four corners so i could go with that, im just simply wanting to go with the staggered look if possible.
 






Short answer is No, I don't think so. With 27mm offset on a 10.5" rim, that is a backspace of 4.25" so the inner rim may hit the upper balljoint. You need a 4" backspace to fit these successfully, so the 9" ones would be OK assuming the same offset (they will result in 3.5" backspace, so the rim will sit out further, but that's OK). If you are near a tyre place, get a 10.5" fitted up and see how the clearance looks.

Also, you couldn't use those tyres - the rolling diameter will be too small. You need a 265/45/20 or thereabouts
 






Thanks for your input. Im a gearhead at heart, but somehow between my heart and my brain wheel fitments get lost in translation. Its like chineese arithmatic to me it seems:D
