    20" aftermarket wheel thoughts?

    I ordered them here: RTR Mustang Tech 5 Gloss Black Wheel; 20x9.5 851GB-2096533 (15-22 Mustang GT, EcoBoost, V6) - Free Shipping (americanmuscle.com) But they're available elsewhere, like BB Wheel.

    What Have You Done To Your Explorer ST Today

    Installed my AFE Intake. Thanks Tyler and Lethal Performance! Made sure I had a #20 hose clamp on hand to replace the factory clamp on my bypass hose. Easy install, except the bypass clamp and driver's turbo clamp! Between the lack of room and my right hand still healing from a metacarpal...

    Front Sway Bar

    One member said Steeda wasn't planning on a FSB. AFE is designing a matching front and rear sway bar currently, using @Clears as the testbed.

    20" aftermarket wheel thoughts?

    285/50 Pirelli Scorpion Verde AS Plus. They were on sale when I got the wheels, and had pretty good reviews. I have no issues with them, they're quiet and with 15K miles on them look nearly new. I don't experience snow in SoCal, but they do just fine in the wet. Now if you can swing the...

    2022 Ford Explorer Platinum ST

    The ST has lower gears, so the Platinum will always have that disadvantage.

    20" aftermarket wheel thoughts?

    Thanks! They're RTR Tech 5. It's a S550 Mustang wheel. They're flow formed, so not quite as light or expensive as most of the people here rocking forged 22s, but I still dropped 9 pounds per corner even with the extra width and sidewall height over the stock 20s.

    aFe Momentum GT CAI

    Also @ZFGracing posted some info that says the AFE performs better on more heavily modified trucks. Now yes the highest HP Explorers currently run FenFabs, but that's due to preference/availability. We haven't seen a direct back to back, and a tune is needed to get really anything out of either.

    That's what she said.

    2023 Explorer images leaked (from China)

    I'm sure we'll get this refresh here. Steeda posted some spy photos of the 2023 S650 Mustang, and it has a similar full width screen inside and a similar squared off front bumper.

    Well the joint has a poly bushing so it's pretty stiff. If you're concerned you can probably machine up an aluminum or Delrin insert, but I wouldn't. I'm not about that solid mount drivetrain life.

    NEW Product Alert! The AWR Racing rear diff mount

    Question for us in the "4 bolt gang". Has anyone placed a GoPro under the truck to see how much the diff moves during launch? That could help show if this is worthwhile for us 2020s as well.

    Coming soon aFe sway bars

    Nice to see some front bars as well! @Clears do you know if AFE still planning on making an intercooler and charge pipes?

    That splitter is awesome. These pics make it difficult to keep my credit card in my wallet!

    The Thermal R&D cat back exhaust PREMIER!

    There's not a lot of straight piping in this system, so there's lots of opportunity for adjustment.

    Racing Brake is in the game.

    We chimed in because someone is working on exactly what was being asked about. Figured that was more helpful than Warren probably responding no because he has his kits available. Anything else would be out of this thread. Not trying to shit on or take away from a great product, just happy to...

    The Thermal R&D cat back exhaust PREMIER!

    Mine are pretty much dead center. Get under the car, loosen the clamps behind the rear cans, and push toward the back of the car. It should pivot some on the rear hanger. Just fiddle a bit and you'll get it.

    Racing Brake is in the game.

    I don't think so. He said he'll let me know when they're ready and I'm grabbing a set, I can post here again when they're ready.

    Check Facebook. High Performance Explorer ST group. Guy named Tony Hernandez is making brackets to fit these GT350 calipers and rotors.

    20" aftermarket wheel thoughts?

    I have 20x9.5 with 285/50s. 33 offset. While most of the trucks here with 22s look great, I've always preferred small wheels and thicker sidewall. I went with 285/50 over 295/45 to get even more sidewall going.

    2021 Vs 2022

    My dad always says this. He grew up in PA, first car was a 70 Valiant and had several Fox Mustangs. Never any issues in the snow, and better for it using those cars. We moved to SoCal when I was 9 so no snow experience for me. I took my wife/kids and parents up to Lake Arrowhead last winter...
