I got a 2023 Explorer ST. Looking at playing with the tire size. This size has lots of options for descent tires. I know i will need to recalibrate my speedo. Curious if anyone is running this setup and has pictures ?

I would not recommend 295 on the stock OEM 20's.

Which tire make and model? I'm not saying you couldn't get away with that wheel width, you can, but another inch in wheel width would probably be closer to the tread laying flat ideal. That doesn't take into consideration the possibility of rubbing.

Yes, that’s the golden setup for these vehicles. A 295/40r20 is too short though, would look a bit wonky. 295/45 is what you’d want.

No, the stock wheels are only 8.5” wide, so the widest tires you could run would be a 275/50r20.
