Found these Jeep wheels with 31s on criagslist. I read somewhere that the backspacing on jeep wheels will not work on explorers. Will they fit? thanks!

I'm running jeep rims on mine
I had no issue till I went to 32x11.5's
All I had to do was add 5/16" spacers
 






If anything i want the wheels to stick out farther, for both look and stability. I don't care for the jeep style wheels but they just seem like a good deal.
 






Then you new to get off set rims for them to stick out I wouldn't go any larger in spacer then 5/16 on spacers for safety reasons and IMO all rims look good flat blacked with aggressive tires I only by tires on CL and usually w rims included then sell a set of rims I've been doin that for about 6 yrs now only way to go as long as you don't mind being patient I search CL every day even if I do t need something of its a good deal in buyin it cause I l ow ill either find a use or trade/sell it in The future

Good luck
 






well the only way it will rub is if its more backspacing.

less backspacing will bring the wheel OUT.

I run 4in backspacing on a 15x10, and don't rub frame or anything.
