[DroppedKamelion]

From my experience and that tire size you better have one hell of an offset. Or it will be rubbin.

Wow! Didn't know 30 profile existed. If you do get it- do not hit a pot hole.

i know this stupid, but whats an offset? i apologise for bein so stupid

 

[kingsleysurf]

if you get it bagged you wont necessarly be "laying frame" unless your b-dropped. And usually, this all depends on rims and if your b-dropped, when you get bagged, the front wheels tend to bend i guess you could say, unless they cut out your wheel well and make room for your rims.

It would be easier to lay frame if you put some 12" wheels on.

offset is the distance between where the mounting flange of the wheel is, compared to the center of the wheel. an offset of "0" would mean the wheel mounts directly in the middle of the wheel.

No way in hell you are gonna lay an Explorer on 22 inch wheels. Not a chance. You can run 22s with that tire and about 3 inches of lowering. I hope you know what's involved with bagging a vehicle before you do it.

It's extremely diffcult to lay an Explorer even on 20s. It takes an EXTREME amount of fabrication to lay body on 20s.

I dont think body dropping has anything to do with laying frame. Mini truckers usually bag their trucks to lay frame, then b-drop it to get the body on the ground as well as the frame.

 

[kingsleysurf]

you can lay frame on 22's b-drop is the way to go, all you need to do is move some things around in the engine, cut into the wheel well... im pretty drunk and yea... but you can lay frame on 22's... definatly... but a b-drop and all that other stuff to lay frame would cost some $$,$$$

PS: when i say lay frame i mean body on the ground, sorry for the missiturpritation

 

[DroppedKamelion]

aight maybe ill jus drop the bags, get the 22s, and lower it 3 inches.

im kinda confused now though, cuz im trynna decide between some 22s and some 20 inch spinnas.....

 

[Black Magic]

Flip a coin, both would be = jaw dropping!

[oreokid220]

Good Luck

I agree with oreokid, everyone is starting to get spinners... its not unique anymore. 22's are more rare than spinners

You can get some 22" Wire wheels on ebay for $750 a set then all you need is tires would cost you around $1300-1500 after tires/rims/shipping costs

You want to lay frame on 22s? You'll need a notch in the rear 3-4 inches bigger than this one in the rear:

Pictured is a notch that is neccessary to lay on 20s.
