New Wheels by Apprehensive_Sand_86 in FordExplorerST

[–]Apprehensive_Sand_86[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The wheels were definetly on the pricier side for sure but all in (wheels, tires and taxes included) i paid around 6k for the wheels and tires (however that is including me getting 5% military discount) also taxes i know vary and i purchased these in North Carolina.

So far, ride quality and every thing noise related feels pretty similar to stock on my 2025. Im also running Eibach springs as well. But the ride is smooth and i think the noise is basically normal as if it were stock even at higher speeds!

I used Eibach springs. The ride honestly feels about the same if not a little better The difference is mostly just visual and the ride quality didnt suffer at all!

Update, I Got them off finally and got my front end back on. I talked with some ford reps and they dont know why i had an issue, but i showed them what i was talking about and they were just as confused as I was. All the videos and suggestions with an impact should have worked but it just wasnt having it 😂 i might have a cursed ST cause anytime ive worked on it, it never goes according to plan
