Welcome to FTE!

You didn't really say what year you have, but those wheels should be fine. I ran OEM 17" Cobra R's (the ones those you are looking at are replicas of) and never had a problem. A good tire size for them is 255/60/17.

I guess most people would tell you I have a modified Explorer. There are plenty of things you can do to them. Just depends on how much you want to spend as to what you will hear people say to do. Give us an idea of what you are looking at doing and what your style is and we can go from there...

thanks

sorry i wrote 200 explorer rather than 2000 explorer haha. thanks alot on the feed back on the rims. My final idea is to turn my truck into like a cobra explorer nothing crazy liek superchargers or anything. I already have my eye on a flowmaster exhaust system http://www.flowmastermufflers.com/pr...716154342f7e6f

but i would like to find maybe a cold air intake some horse power here and there.

thanks alot

PS I already have the cobra logos on teh side of my truck haha
