Thanks. I usually post over at www.f150online.com but there isn't much about Explorers there. This is my F150...http://i.pbase.com/g3/80/633080/2/55...edDSC_5465.jpg

Tires

I Have 275/45/20 On My 03 Sport Trac Right Now. Getting 265/75/16. The Only Thing With The 20s Is That They Rub Bad. Not Enough Backspacing. But I Bought It That Way, So They Are Coming Off.

Guys..keep in mind when going to a larger than stock rim...especially the big ones 20"+ u have to do some suspension changes as well...and they can be very costly..moreso sometimes than the rims and tires...u no longer have those big 65-70 series tires to absorb the bumps..u can really screw things up ...
