Hello, I'm looking for stock 18" steel wheels to run winter tires on my 23 St
I looked at 21" winter studded tires alone are over $2300. for 4.
Any thoughts or help steering me in correct direction would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

A lot of people have used the 18" PIU wheels. Or at the end of this post is an option that was just posted today. https://www.explorerst.org/threads/...our-explorer-st-today.889/page-112#post-82553

I just went through the same dilemma when shopping for a winter setup. 21" is an odd size. Go up to a 22 or down to an 20 or 18 and you will find more options at better prices.

Ultimately I went to tire rack and found 18" and 20" wheel choices that won't break the bank.

Here's my notes I used while shopping around for options.
Stock: 275/45R21 110W

Rim 9Jx21 ET37.5

Offset 35.5 - 39.5 mm will fit.

Lug Thread Size: M14 x 1.5

Optional cop 18's
LB5Z-1015B rim
TPMS-60
Lug Nuts - ACPZ 1012 NWSP
Covers - LB52 1130 C

Tirerack says 8x114.3 will fit with 40 off set
