I stumbled onto photos of a custom hybrid explorer in Vossens wheel catalog which has Vossen HF-2 wheels.
I am wanting to tap the groups experience and find out if these wheels and tires will fit without issues on a North Amercian Explorer ST with the 21 inch street package (wheels and brakes) (with H&R lowering springs) which may differ from the European Hybrid wheels and brakes. Pointing out any potential gotchas would be appreciated as the wheels are about $3800 and tires at least another $1200.
Spoke with KJ in customer service at Vossen and he was able to confirm the wheel specs and even tire size. I had determined the tires were Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico from the markings. These tires appear to be a 2016 design that may be on there way out of production according to limited supply and some sales on Tirerack. The tire size is 295/40/22 front and back. He says one can also use 285 and 275 for more tire choices. This specific size (295/40/22) have no M&S marking so its a summer tire only. I would have to find a comprable all season tire that looks similar if possible. The wheels are Vossen HF-2 in gloss black - size 22x10.5 with an offset of ET32 and concave profile of "deep". So it appears you can get an ST version of the hybrid in Europe but I assume it comes with 20 inch wheels and tires. Correct me if I am wrong.
Here is the link to the vehicle I am referring to:

Any help would be appreciated.
