[Billj747]

Hey guys, I just got a set of 18x9 +35 ALPHAequipt Grenade wheels and 285/60-18 General Tire: Grabber A/TX tires on the Explorer ST to gear it up for off-road and snow work.

I wrote a full review on MotoIQ.com if you want to read more about the wheels or my review:

Well, I am surprised, that looks pretty nice!

Looks great! Nice to see 285 fit. I went with 265/65/18.

Good morning, have you had any rubbing issues? While turning? large bumps etc? I was going to get 265/60-18’s, was worried to go to 65’s.
thanks

No issues at all with any scenario. off road, highway dips, Target parking lots.

Thanks a lot. Mine just went in to production 3/20. When it’s delivered I’m ordering those wheels with TKO2’s.

Hey guys.
Sorry to jump on this thread. I am a new ST owner with an opportunity to buy a very lightly used set of winter tires on 18 rims. I did some research and searching but I'm just not familiar enough with the packages to know for sure. My ST has the street performance package with the larger brakes and 21 inch tires. Will the 18's fit on my car? Thanks in advance for any input and advice you have.

18” wheels fit over the larger brake rotors.

I am preparing to purchase a 2020-2023 Ford Explorer ST with the upgraded Brembo brake package. I will be doing a similar offroad wheel/tire upgrade. The goal is to fit the widest package without suspension modifications or rubbing issues. It is fine if the wheels/tires protrude from the wheel wells, as that is actually desired. Is the 18x9+35 wheels / 285/60-18 the widest fitment that would comply?

(I am finally moving on from my 2007 Rubicon with 33x12.50/17's)

Thank you!

Does anyone know a dealer in Ontario for those rims because this is an awesome setup!
