Quick Question on Rims

I bought my Expedition knowing that I would need to buy tires pretty quickly.

I have the factory 17"ers but honestly, I don;t care much for them. I know I have the 5 on 135, but what backspacing do I need?

I am thinking of going with an 18" Rim with a 275/60R18 All Terrain Tire

Take one of the rims off and get info on the backside. Alternatively, find a seller (on ebay) who has listed similar rims and posted said info.

Go to www.thecustomwheelshop.com and use their NEXT wheels database software. You can shop for wheels that will FIT your vehicle, choose the color, tint, height, etc as well.

Long as you stay 8-9" wide a low posative offset will give you a good fit. Say +12mm - +28mm offsets.
