Hey ya'll, I been pokin around the forums for a little while before I joined (cause I wasn't sure if I wanted to keep my x or not). Well ultimately I want a Sport Trac but I gotta work with what I have right? So here's the deal It's a 2000 xlt fully loaded in really good condition, I traded a car that I got for 500 bucks for it (Some 16 year old kid had it). All I have done so far is add hids and mod the taillights.

Soon I plan to order my body lift and shackles and I'm gonna stuff 33x12.5's under it. Now here's my question I'm horrible with calculating the backspacing on rims, I'm doing 15x8 with 33x12.5 I have the stock fender flares and don't want the tires to sit inside of them, if anything I want them poking out or flush, any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Welcome!!! I'm in Beaverton too, over by Nike. Nice looking Ex....reminds me I need to clean mine up badly, after I get it running again!

 

[Exploder_Owner88]

Nice good deal, it's good to see someone near me that's got an "X" I like the wheels you had on there the "Fx4" ones they are nice! Still have em? Got anything else done to it?? lifted or anything?

 

[97xlt4.0]

I took those off, and I have some aftermarket ones on there now. Right now I'm fixing a leaky thermostat housing and bypass house, but i'm hoping to install the Warrior shackles I've had for a few months now, and do a TT in the next few weeks. I just started a new job as well, so time and money are both rare right now!

 

[Exploder_Owner88]

I hear ya there, I wanted those wheels damn lol. I'm going to be ordering the shackles soon, but I'm not installing them till I get the body lift cause I can't see any difference in the stock height and lifted height with shackles and TT lol. But within the next month I should have the body lift, and shackles ready to install. Then it's my wheels and 33's then it all goes on.
