and also...

its going on a stock rim...

32's should work okay but you probably will need to do a little front fender trimming.

 

[Krzyboy2o]

do i have to do any back spacing or re-calibrating my speedo? thanks!

dre

 

[Joey P]

You will need new rims for the backspacing. You will need to recalibrate the speedometer as well. I think everything will be off like 3-5 miles an hour less than what your really going.

 

[Krzyboy2o]

thanks again for the quick response.. i think i have 15x7.. what size of rims would i need and the backspacing 3.75?

 

[Alec]

If you're getting new rims you should get 15x8 with 3.75" BS. The stockers will work, but you'll rub on your front swaybar and possibly also on the firewall.

Every Explorer is different in terms of exactly what they'll fit. You may end up needing a 2" body lift or more suspension lift to make 32s work well.

 

[Joey P]

Yeah get 3.75 backspacing and 15x8 rims.

 

[Krzyboy2o]

ok thanks for the replies.. i think im gonna stick with 31's.. now, how big of a difference are 31x10.5 and 31x12.5.

 

[Krzyboy2o]

how accurate is this?

1-2 inch suspension lift - 32x11.50x15 on 15x8 rim/ may require some extensive fender trimming

i got it from the post above

 

[ExplSport02]

Correct...With TT/Shackles you should get about that. If you dont mind some trimming go for it. Every X is different so you may not have much, never know till you try it.

 

[Krzyboy2o]

will 31 x 11.50 Procomp AT look good with 15x8 black rockcrawlers or should i just stick with 31x10.50

 

[Joey P]

I think it would look alright but if it were me I would probably just stick with the 31x10.50's.

 

[ExplSport02]

If your gonna go with 11.5's your definately gonna rub. The width most times makes tires rub and not the height.

 

[Krzyboy2o]

thanks guys. im gonna go with the 31x10.50 with the black rockcrawlers? 15x8 right? do i need any backspacing on these wheels? 4wheel has this package priced at $495 i think.

 

[white96x]

all rims have backspacing.....like suggested before a 3.75" would be suitable.

 

[ExplSport02]

hey White do you have any pics of your X???

 

[Krzyboy2o]

anyone on here running 32x11.50??? i wanna know how bad of feder trimming i'll have to do and where. thanks

 

[Texplorer]

I will be running them soon, with a TT/shackles you will rub slightly on the rear of the wheel well.

This is Diggers rig, he is running 32's and this is what he trimmed.

 

[Krzyboy2o]

thanks for the pic... is that the passenger rear? do you have a pic thats not that close so i can see exactly where you trimmed?? thanks tex!
