- 2003 Explorer
I need to get new tires and I plan on getting some all-terrains in 265/75/16 size with no lift on my 2003 Explorer. I also plan on mounting them on black 16x7 (4" backspacing, 0 offset ) or 16x8 (5" backspacing, +12mm offset) Cragar Soft 8 rims. After having a lifted Jeep and seeing the issues it can cause long term on other parts of the truck, I will not be lifting the Explorer at any point. I like the squat, wide look anyways and I won't be doing much offroading. With that said, which size rim should I go with? I do want a wider stance, however, I don't want the combination of wide wheels and fatter tires to cause rubbing on the fender. I don't mind some minor trimming of the fender's inside plastic, but I dont want to start hacking any visible parts of the fenders. I searched, but could not come up with any definitive answers. Any advice, experiences, and/or pictures of this setup are greatly appreciated.
