what are the specs on the factory rims

 

[MO_GUY]

dont hold me to this......but i think

15 x 7
16 x 7

 

[metstalker]

i think it is the 15x7 just b/c the rims are 15 inch thanks mo guy

 

[metstalker]

this is what i am thinking of

http://www.4wheelparts.com/product2.asp?imseqn=534&occlass=TECH&cat=WHE

but dont know what will fit some michelins that i have that fit the factory rims (what is back space) and how much should i have

by the way what do you think (white explorer so should look good.)

 

[MO_GUY]

i thought of buying those also.......the only problem i had with them is the width only goes to 8 inches, which means you shouldnt put anything more than 10" wide tire on them


try looking around for a 10" wide rim unless you arent wanting that wide of a tire and you'll probably want a 3.75" backspacing (i think thats right) to push the wheels out just a bit to keep them from rubbing anything

 

[metstalker]

so those would be good with factory type tires

 

[metstalker]

do you think i can get a second opinion on what size rims will fit factory type tires how much back space and how may lugs

IIRC factory are 15x7
4.5" backspacing
5 x 4.5 bolt pattern
