Cheapest, wheel spacers. More expensive: rims with appropriate backspacing.

Search and ye shall find!
 






Is it just the left front that sits inside the fender? This is the way most explorers are. Mine is like this too, dont know why... but it is. Hope this helps
 






BOTH of mine and my son's are like that
 






nono, not the left front, but all 4, I'm especially annoyed by the rear wheels... it's sitting more than 4 inches inside the fender... dun think i can get a 3inch+ spacers with bolts right?
 






our's ain't more then 1in or 1/2 of a inch
 






absolute CHEAPEST way would be to remove the fender flares, which is about 99% of why the wheels look too far in
 






a big hammer could fix it...
 






yea but i like the FAT look of the car with the fender flares... :rolleyes:
 






yeah, its the flares. rims with dif. back spacing would help but personally id ditch the flares and get some FAT tires ;)
 






Most (if not all) wheel spacers will be under 2" due to safety reasons.
 






Yea, dont even think about getting 3" spacers. You could just get some different rims and wider tires and you will be fine.
