I think these would look good with some 255/65/17 Tires

[Chris GTO TT]

Wound up with those wheels in 16's with a 265/70/16 Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires....

[Chris GTO TT]

They were finally delivered today and I love how it looks

[DCIV]

Looks good man!


Coop

[Chris GTO TT]

Thanks

[Jeff V.]

I like it.

[alienviking]

Ditto.

[Duck Vader]

Looks good, but ya, fix that tailpipe.

[Chris GTO TT]

Yeah its on my list to do

[vr4]

From my suppliers magnaflow and Gibson only.

Gibson is 3". MF 2.5


Or I build something

[Chris GTO TT]

To my knowledge Magnaflow and Gibson are the only ones who make bolt on kits for this body style Explorer. I hear better things about Magnaflow than Gibson. From what I hear Gibson is quite loud typically and I really don't want it to be very loud.

Why not get one custom made?

[Chris GTO TT]

I prefer stainless steel over alumized steel. Even though it'd be years before rust would be a problem in CA. Anytime I look at one of the exhaust shops specials the rust is terrible on them and especially on the welds.

what is it you offer, and cost?

[Chris GTO TT]

And went back to the stock wheels today Went from getting 15-17mpg without too much effort to struggling to get 14.5 with lots of highway driving. They also really killed the power, to the point of when I was towing a 3000lbs trailer I was stuggling to get to speed timely.

[DCIV]

Yup, rotating mass and circumstance kills speed.

Had a buddy with a Jeep, lifted it, did a bunch of stuff....couldn’t back jet skis up a small incline driveway because of his stupid huge tires.

Yeah I expected some but I figured it wouldn't be too bad going from 29.5" to a 30.5". However the new tires are 9lbs heavier than the old ones, which I suspect made it far worse. Now to decide if I'm going back stock 245/65/17 or the smaller size I was originally considering 255/70/16

[Chris GTO TT]

Or sell it for either a 2015 Hyundai Genesis Sedan 3.8 or 2016ish Mazda6
