Hey guys, just got my new to me but 2011 ford explorer limited. So far I have tinted the windows and tinted the tail lights, painted the calipers and put on some new shoes. Future mods are Explorer lettering on hood, H & R springs and painting the bottom plastic to color match. Sorry for just one pic, was in a hurry to ship home to the bahamas. Let me know what yall think and any other mods that I should do.

That photo looks fake for some reason like it's doctored? Looks good though not saying it is it just looks odd! Great looking truck and funny lighting or something!

With those tire sizes you are slightly exceeding the generally accepted 3% diameter difference. The difference is 3.12%. The greater the diameter variance, the more strain it places on the OEM brakes resulting in possible brake failure. That is the warning that pops up on the 1010tires site when OEM and new tire sizes are input. Just saying.
