I have been planning on putting a 3" body lift, warrior shackles, and front coil spacers on my Explorer. I haven't put it on yet but now I am looking at tires that I want to put on. I can't afford to buy new wheels so I am stuck with the 15x7 stock rims. I was planning on putting 32-1050R-15 tires on but the tire guy told me that 1050's will go on but it would cut the tire life in half and that he wouldn't put them on (I guess for insurance reasons). I am also having trouble finding 32-1050R-15 much less 32-950R-15 or 31-950R-15 but I have found 33-950R-15 (but I don't really want anything that big). This tire business is driving me crazy. I am worried that if I go as small as 31s it will look funny with 4.5 inches of lift. I could go with a 2inch body lift and smaller tires. Do I just need to break down and get wider wheels (last resort)?Any input on what to do or comments about how certain size tires work or look with that much lift would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt
