?SVT Rims?
The Lightning rims will not fit an Explorer - wrong lug pattern. Any of the 5 lug Mustang wheels will fit though. I run Cobra R's on mine. They are 17x9 rims, and I run a set of Michelin 255/60/17 on them. Another popular size some people run on these rims on their X's are 275/60 or 275/55. You can run pretty wide tires, but it depends on what the inset of the wheel are, and if you run spacers or not. I personally do not run spacers - don't care for them, but some run them with no problems...

I am thinking of getting a set of the new style R wheels. They are 18's - 18x9 I think. I think they will look better than my 17's will. I like the look of them better than the ones I have now.
If you decide on getting a set, let me know. My best friend is a parts manager and runs [link:www.fordpartsfast.com|FordPartsFast.com]

I am waiting 'til after X-Mas also. I am probably going to get them and put some good street rubber on them - then get some winter tires for the 17" I have now. Not that it gets bad here in Atlanta, but I hate burning a pricey set of 18" rubber - save them for some fun in the summer.
I need to get some pics up and finish my FTE site and gallery. The ones in there now are over a year old...
