Not sure my path to an end result is your cup of tea but here it is - 18x8 up front, 18x10 out back:

Those look good. Are those the 3" widened fenders on the rear, and do you have any clearance issues? What is the backspacing on those?

Yes those are the glass fenders from MidFifty - I don't have any clearance issues, but the back half of the truck is far from stock at this point. The 9" was sectioned to give me 1" clearance to the bed side - the outside shoulder in turn has about an 1" of clearance with these fenders.

Back Space on the rears is 5" even. I had to go direct to manufacturer to have that offset and the 10" width done. I believe their off the shelf offset was 4.75 on a 9.5 offering. They turned the rears out super quick - less than 2 weeks I had em in my hands.

I think the off-the shelf offset will work on mine. Money is currently an issue, so I'm sitting tight with the Explorer "around the shop" rollers I have on it. Thanks for the info.
