But I don't want to hijack the thread by going off-topic though. I really like the 3GS wheels and they do look really good with your car being lowered. I wish we had that style when the 2GS came out . Will you be using the GS during the winter? If so then why not use that Ford Ranger I see parked in the driveway?
Ill be using the Explorer mainly but on days when it doesnt snow as much Ill drive the GS. I have a really long commute so Id way rather drive the Lex lol.

My thoughts exactly. Only thing stopping me is if i get spacers will i have to shave my fenders? i really dont want to start cutting up the car. I was thinking like 20mm in the back and maybe 10mm in front? Would that work without any fender work you thing?
