ok. i bought some 245/35/20 tires and im gonna buy rims but i have a question first. im gonna be running an explorer axle in the rear and plan on baggin it soon. the axle is 1.5 inches wider overall so its .75 inches wider per side. what offest rim will i need for proper clearence in the rear? its a 94 splash stepside.
THANKS!

Stock Ranger wheels are 12mm offset. The .75" = 19mm, so you would need an additional 19mm of offset (~31mm total) to keep the tire in the same location with the Explorer axle (rear only of course).
