Hello everyone! I joined right before putting a body lift on my truck. Right now I have 31' Bridgestone Dualer MT's on the factory wheels which I like, but, I'm edging to get something bigger. I'm only 18, so the wallet's not fat. Theres an ad for some American Racing wheels though that have a 5x5.5 lug nut pattern. The tires are Pro Comp33 x 12.5 x 15.'s. Will these big tires fit with only a 3" body lift? What about speedo calibration? I'm sure theres a post on here that pertains to these issues. Also, how do I post pics? Thanks again guys for all of your help thus far!! :)
 






Wheels won't fit. Explorers have 5x4.5 bolt patern. Most likely with just the body lift you will need to do some trimming.

For 33" you will need to regear. 4:56 is a must for 33" tall tires with a V6.

To post pictures you need to use a photo hosting site.
 






Alright, thanks for your help Dan!
