Will 26s fit??

[Mando29]

thanks man, but dont be posting ur num up bro theres allot of assholes who will mess with it, this is how she looks now, them 30s are small though. but why do u recomend taking them off and putting stocks back on?

Looks nice. U should have technically went with a 265 35 22 tire.but it don't matter. A way to figure out the biggest tire that will fit b4 u gotta lift or cut is look at the dimension on ur factory tires. And but the those dimension in on a tire website. It will tell u the over all height of the factory tire which is 30.0 inches. That how I knew I could fit 4s. Lot of dealers will on 22s can fit but not true. Now with the 26 if u get the 255 30 26 tire it will be 32.4 inches. The only time I see u rubbin is when u go to back up and u cut deep. My explorer is on car domain under (smurfw84) I think. Hit me up.

Oh yea goodlookin on the not puttin my number on but to further assist u, the reason why u should put stock on for the winter is becuz I personally believe it extends the life of the tires. 26 tires aret cheap. But they gettin cheap. And the treadwear be like 420 rating. If u don't get them shis balanced and rotated every 5k miles u will eat the **** out the tires.. How do u post pics of yo ride on here so I can show u mine

 

[Mando29]

thanks man, yeah before i got these i whent to a dealership and they told me 22s were ok but 24s were dangerous and 26s were impossible so thats why i whent with 22s. they look nice but there still small, yeah 265/35/22 would of been better, and yeah bro ill hit up on cardomain, u said u had a 2nd gen explo, those are smaller than a 3rd gen, and u were able to fit 24s?!?

 

[Mando29]

ill give that a try thanks, yeah there expensive ima get them on craigslist thats were i got mine. to post a pic you got to copy your pics URL and copy and paste on to the insert image icon when u clik on it

 

[bigchrome24]

yea. They on there now. But in order for me not to cut it or lift it I had to go with a 255 30 24 tire. If I would have done a 35 series they would rub in the front. Don't listen to the dealerships they don't be knowin what the hell they be talkin bout man...

 

[bigchrome24]

Oh yea if I stay btween 70 and 75 miles on the road I can get at least 18 miles a gallon, but in the city damn it be like 10 to 12 miles gallon

i would imagine those pups are heavy, do u get any wheel shake, the guy at the dealership said that 22s and up youll get wheel shake, because i do, and is your truck a 4x4 because does that help any at all/:roll::navajo::yelexp:

 

[bigchrome24]

Well since mine is a V8 its always all wheel drive. Don't let the dealership balance them, take it to a wheel shop and watch them balance them. If them number on the machine say 000 its balanced. U may feel the wheel shake cuz they weren't balanced right..

 

[bigchrome24]

I found some rims on Clist but I can't do it cuz I don't do adapters. Every got big bolt chevy pattern. So wit that said I gotta get mine made. Im goin for 26 inch DUB Voodoo Sploaters this summer

 

[Mando29]

you going sixys, there a pic of a 2nd gen explo on the exploforum, looks crazy, and what about chrysler and ford 5 lug, can u swap, i know with toyota you can, these came of a tacoma street edition

 

[bigchrome24]

Oh yea. Chryslers, magnum chargers, have the same bolt pattern as the explorer. Yes im goin 6s. I been wanting to for a while but was waiting for a smaller tire to come out. 6s homie. I've seen a few on cardomain some lifted some not. I don't like lifts. I be hating that big ass gap btween the wheel and wheel well.
