Offroad wheel and tire

[Chaser]

Hey all, long time no see, sorry about the sudden ghosting -- it's my destiny to be that empty promises forum guy that blames it on life.

Could use some criticisms / recommendations.

Found a deal on $50 rims for my roadtrip next week.
This is what I'm looking at:


If I get this what should I be aware of? I plan on using these to drive Dallas to Blanca Co -- so HWY speeds. Any cheap tire recommendations that are closer to original? Any cheap tire recommendations?
Kinda thinking about putting a cargo hitch on and tire changing at the airbnb.

Pressure? I would guess the same PSI but..?

THanks all!
Love,

SOmeone is going to say "I wouldn't trust 50 rims." Me neither lol I guess I'll bring a magnet

15 IM diameter wheels will not clear the brakes.

My dumbass, I knew I was missing something. 18" then

Alright so this is what I want, I think:


I see stock Explorers are 245/60R18... but idk why, no cost savings, .75" lesser clearance than my choice.

See that should work. Thats the size most people run on their Interceptor rims. Just double check spoke clearence when you buy the wheels.

X4 thanks!

Update: 265/6018 seems to run ~$50 less per and closer to stock sizing. 1/4" less clearance for $200 a set, bet.
245/6518 may provide more availability regarding rims.

You should get Forscan to change tire size too.

Eh.. for my secondary set of tires? Not really worth it when I do 110% the speed anyways lol Speed accuracy is the only reason right? The power isn't tuned to the radius of tires correct? I'm kind of a purist, so I'll get onboard, but I'm also kinda cheap

CHances are I'm getting stock/scratched 6 gen Explorer 20's

Well your odometer will be off which effects mileage if you want to sell it and service intervals.

That isn't something I considered. Thanks again for holding my hand through my first rim purchase.
Or visa versa. But yeah, not a terribly big deal for me, <30 miles out of nearly 1400, round trip.

Looks like I found a good deal on a set of 255/50r20's that came off an explorer. 2.3% smaller radius/circumference.
