Lowered on 4's???? PLEASE HELP!!!

[jerzydevil609]

hey everyone... i'm new to the site, and new to the explorer and rim game...

i been looking at everyones 3gen's and seen some beautiful trucks, either stock height on 24's or lowered on 22's... i just came into some money after i sold my 83 caprice on 24's (i had 24x9's with 255/35/24 tires). i used to live in trenton nj, and the roads were horrible... and somehow i never cracked or bent a rim... i just moved out to north carolina and the roads out here are beautiful... i dont even see potholes let alone hit them...

since i wanna still be a little flashy, i was thinking of putting some 24's on my 3gen 02 limited explorer v8... i'd like 24x10's this time for that tougher stance, but i also want to lower her with those ground force springs or whatever theyre called (mines 4x4 idk if that matters or not)... i dont mind throwing some rubberband tires on her since the roads are so nice, and im used to them already... does anyone know if this can be accomplished? also i have no idea what offset i should be going with to make this setup potentially work...

sorry for the paragraphs... and thanks so much in advance for everyones input...

Sincerely,

John B.

02 limited

yup it's possible, i got an 04 limited on 4's..got an appt to get the lowering springs put on next week. I went with a small tire, 255/30 for that reason. I'll snap some pics and let you know how it handles and such after it's done.

You'll probably rub. And with that kind of width, when you hit bumps, your fender flares are going to kiss the tops of your tires, especially in the back. Mine does this now with 22x9s and Belltech springs.
