    Rude Awakening On Rims Today!

    That's probably not good if I want to run a 305 tire next time around. I need to get underneath this thing and check clearances.

    Rude Awakening On Rims Today!

    These are Verde Incise wheels. I still have the boxes for these in my shop. I need to check them. I thought they said +25. So these are probably +35? Verde does a +25, +35 and +45 in this wheel. Would love to sound more confident and educated in all of this but I had my tire shop order and...

    Rude Awakening On Rims Today!

    Mine is a +25 offset on a 10.5" wheel with 285 tires. I'm going to run 305's next time around and I think I'll be fine.

    Accel/Decel "Rumble"

    I would say flex pipes too. I am having the same issue at 1100 - 1300 rpms. Put my car up on a lift and set the RPM's at 1200 and ran a video and then a video at idle. You can definitely see the vibration at the flex pipe on the drivers side. I've also had the the pipe break at the converter. I...

    Lionhart LH-Ten

    Is anyone running this tire in a 22"? I know the LH-Five is pretty popular, just curious about this one. Wondering how it performs, wears, etc. I am currently running the Toyo Proxes ST-III which has a similar tread to the LH-Ten. The Toyo's are very loud but handle and wear great.

    Does anyone have any recommendations for a good alignment shop in the San Francisco/Bay Area? Thanks in advance!

    Another broken exhaust story - Have a question for everyone

    After reading these responses I am going to take it to my dealership first. Thanks again.

    Another broken exhaust story - Have a question for everyone

    Thanks for the help guys. I just wonder on the warranty side if they will fight me since I change out the rear mufflers? They always look for a reason to deny the claim.

    Another broken exhaust story - Have a question for everyone

    So this happened to me yesterday: I was able to get it off the ground with a cinch strap and drive it off of the freeway. It is now sitting about 8 miles from my house. My question is can I drive this the last 8 miles without doing any damage to my engine/turbos? Also planning on ordering...

    Best Explorer ST 2022 exhaust just bought today

    I found that the shroud that has either the bolts or the rivets at the bottom is held in place in so many other locations. I drilled the rivets out and didn't go back in with anything. To me, the biggest holder of that shroud is the bolts at the crash bar one both sides.

    Been a member for a while but never really posted so I’ll start here

    Welcome to the forum! Beautiful ST. Well done on the mods. I have +25 wheels myself so I am an outlier too! :LOL:

    Whipple Intercooler Install Fun

    The traffic around here is tough but I live and work where I do by choice so I really can't say too much. I'll let you know when I am doing my front and rear sway bars in case you're doing the same.

    Broken lower control arm proof - Not spamming

    I agree with @FORZDA3 and @2020FordRaptor. Also if you have a nice aftermarket part to sell I think there are areas on this forum to post them with that in mind. What makes this post and the previous one smell funny to me is that the company that makes these aftermarket control arms and the OP...

    Broken front lower control arms

    I'm not a conspiracy theory guy but this almost feels like marketing. :unsure: Not that there is anything wrong with that

    Whipple Intercooler Install Fun

    I'm with you on the rivets. The bigger deal honestly was the mixed up bracket. And you will appreciate this being a Bay Area guy. My shop is in San Mateo and I live in San Rafael. And my rivet gun was at my brothers in Livermore! My only other vehicle at my shop is an old (read VERY old) F350...

    Whipple Intercooler Install Fun

    I'm not sure what bracket I have. But the folks at Steeda are getting me a corrected one so all good there with the exception of having to pull the entire thing apart again. I watched three different videos and they must all be 2020's as they all had bolts. Not a big deal but definitely a...

    Eibach Springs - Bump Stops or Wheel/Tire Combo

    There are guys on here that run 305's on a +30 offset so it wouldn't seem like the tires would be the issue. But like you mentioned, an easy way to tell is to put the stock setup back on and see if you get the same results. I did not trim the bump stops when installing my springs Looks good...

    Eibach Springs - Bump Stops or Wheel/Tire Combo

    I'm sure pictures would help everyone see what was going on. I think most people on here are running 22's with a +30 offset. I am running 22x10.5 wheels with a +25 offset and 285 tires and have no issues. I am lowered on H&R springs. Is 20et a +20 offset?
