thanks in advance - Dustin
Just put the D30 under it. They're easily good up to 33s and if you tweak some other things you can run 35s without problem.

If you're considering anything north of 35s just go straight to a Dana 60/14 bolt combo.

I believe the explorer 8.8 is about 1" shorter WMS to WMS than a d35/c8.25, so you'd probably want to run at least 1/2" spacers or get smaller backspaced wheels for the rear to keep the tire edges the same.

Jeep C8.25 WMS-WMS = 60.75"
Ford Explorer 8.8 WMS-WMS = 59.625"

Why is it important to keep the edges even?

It's not, except for looks. However with a 12.5" wheel at the decreased width, I'm fairly certain they'll rub the inner fenderwells without spacers.

The 350 or the 150? Either way they are not the same

Econoline E100/150 = 5x5.5
Econoline E250/350 = 8x6.5
Jeep Cherokee = 5x4.5


Hub bore size is also different

Econoline E100/150 = 87mm
Econoline E250/350 = 123.9mm
Cherokee = 71.5mm
