Sport Trac wheels like my originals? They look good on any Gen Ex or Ranger...

Yeah just like those. But....I was a little too late and they are gone.
Mr. Truckles, that makes sense. I'll get the new struts in first and see what I get as far as lift and go from there.

I see you're in Oregon, but maybe it would still be worth it. My dad had 265/70/16s and black Soft 8s on his stock 05 explorer, and he has the wheels and 2 practically new tires for sale now.

Dang...Too bad we are not closer. I'm near Portland. The cost of shipping is as much or more as the wheels. 
I'd just want the wheels and I'd be willing to drive to the OR/CA border (Yreka) to pick them up. That would be about as far as I'd go.

FWIW, Here is what I ended up doing...
16x8 cragar soft 8's and 265/75 Duratracs. There is a slight rub on the passenger side on plastic wheel well shield but it's nothing a ziptie won't fix. I'm happy with the way it looks and the performance. I really like these tires. The ride is great, it's quiet, and good grip. Between the quicklift and tires, I gained 2.5" of total lift over stock.
