That is tough to suggest....personal preference you know. If you would like to see your truck with different rims go to Tire Rack . com and you put in your truck information. They will bring up only the rims that fits your ST. When you bring up the rim you select you can click on view on your truck. You can even change the color or match your color. Happy shopping.

Yeah, I was just wondering what other people have used around here that look good on a ST. I'll check that out thanks!
 






Sure no problem.....I found several rims there that I liked. I have been toying around with changing my rims as well. I liked the ones there that are called Bristol (Nascar). They have black accents and my Sport Trac is black. That rim comes in 17" or 20". The reason I have been stalling is my tires are in good shape, so no real plans of changing rims/tires until needed.
 






I like the ones I just got on my '01. Pro Comp 8179. Not sure how to post pics or I would show ya.
 












I am not sure what look you are going for but I was able to put 15" rims on my trac and the reason I did that is the cost of tires. 15" tires are about $50 cheaper then 16" tires. My reasoning being that every set of tires after this set will save me money and I can buy a better tire. Here is a picture of mine with a 15x8 mb motoring rim (mb 72 I belive) and a 32x11.50x15 BFG. I had to trim but a 31x10.50 would have been no problem. I have no lift either.

I just ordered a set of Procomp 8069's for my trac, should be in next week. I'll post some photos once they are on.
 






How can I post pics??
 






Wow, these M/T Sidebiters look pretty good.

The MT's are nice. the chrome is too blingie.

Can anyone tell me how to post pics??
 






The chrome ones are stock 2008 explorer rims. The truck rides so much better now.

You need to open a photobucket or image shack account and post the photos there and then copy the IMG code into a post here and they will show up. Im sure a quick search on this site would provide more details but its pretty easy.
