Rims that fit may not be rated for these heavy trucks. I found a few used rims from other than Ford, but every rim I looked-up was not rated heavy enough for these Explorers. I found that the rim should be rated for the axle with the highest weight rating. That's the rear in most cases and you divide the axle weight rating by 2. The jeep rims I was considering come-up way short of what I would run on an X.
This site has good specs for rims: Ford Explorer 2000 - Wheel & Tire Sizes, PCD, Offset and Rims specs
I am considering some 18's, alloy 5 spoke but have yet to find something I like, that fits, and that is rated for the load the X places on them.
