you have some work to do. Search the forums. You wont make those tires fit with jist a tt and shackels.

yeh,he is right,read the stickys at the top of the page,they are there `cause they are really helpful.Read the one on clearing larger tires and the one on lifting your explorer!Learn about rims,go to a site like summitracing.com they have helpful things on the side about measuring rims to make them fit,learn about rear offset and such,you can get rims and tires that would fit,but if they are the wrong offset they`ll either hit the susp. or the fender,depending on how they are wrong.You can do it! search wheel offset on summit or google.

I have 33 12.50 muds and I have 4 inch superlift, plus a 3 inch body lift and I still had to trim a bit from rubbing.
