Element wheels plug in your vehicle and it should come up with all the KoKo Kuture wheels that fit - parent company is Giovanni

One thing - I ended up buying the Velgen VF9's because Element sales rep told me those wheels @ 22/10.5 - 30mm offset - would rub with 305/40R22 tires so I passed on them because they said they wouldn't take them back if there were rubbing issues ...

Velgen guaranteed no rubbing as long as the Explorer was stock height

So as nice as they are - and they are - I didn't want to throw dice on $2300

The specs are what they are. Whoever you talked to an element, just didn’t know what the **** they were talking about. The Velgen wheels you bought are the exact same specs.

A guy named Raffi Akim or something like that.

What you said - is what I said - and it became apparent to me then that these people are clueless so I made a decision to move on from them as who knows what kind of nonsense I was likely to get wrapped up in with those Dopes …!!!

They seemed like a low class operation "with Midnight sales" I don't need any of that crap

So the Velgen 22's will rub on H&R springs?

Not according to Velgen ... and quite a few others on the forum here -

So in a nutshell Element wheels did not want to own up to any goof ups in the build specs in case your set up rubbed when you installed it - and therefore did not want to take the wheels back on a return, they just don't want to take any responsibility for anything, they sell you the wheels and then you can go **** yourself...!!! - that's about the way I saw it...

So I bought from Velgen who gave me a written guarantee that they would fit fine.
