summer is rolling by... gettin my car nice n sexy for the summer... got a few questions for you guys.. whats the bolt pattern on the xls 2004 end.. plannin to buy them off ebay which is so much cheaper. but i always worry about gettin the damn things over the border in canada with the taxes..? got any answers 2 that?

plus on ebay they have these new grills sellin for 108 US. on my xls.. theres an outlet by the radiator.. wondering if any of you guys hav a problem with that and wondering if that grill will cover the outlet.

to know what's right for your ende go this website and key in the Ende on the vehicle selection it will tell u the right wheel.: www.americaneaglewheel.com


u will have a tough time in getting a 20" not unless u change the tire profile. suggest u try one first with the rubber on especially the front tire bcoz of the spring housing wherein u only have an inch clearance. the widest wheel u can put there is 7.5 inch not unless u change the offset.
Go see this people in Vancouver BC National Tire Wholesale tel. 604-294-3788 u will notice the price is quite reasonable comparable to the states. except the tax.
As for radiator opening..u mean the air port below the . suggest u put an aluminum mesh u can buy one at cartronix there in Vancouver for $17. u can cut it with a metal shearer then insert it by unscrewing the upper grill to access below.

does that wholesale place have a website? i would feel so much more confident in buying wheels off pro's that knows which tires 2 get n etc... intead of gettin it them st8 off ebay...

the mesh? hmm... hav u seen the grill on ebay?!1 its so nice.. but just that thing stickin out... its like an outlet.. it has a plug on it.. duno if u kno wat im sayin.. pretty sure u do since u hav a xls as well.

I just ordered that grille off ebay last week. Its going to look clean. Im curious about 20's as well. That is a definate summer project of mine haha. later

the bolt pattern is 114 X 5. You can run 20's with a 40 series tire and it wont change the overall dimensions heigth wise. As far as width and back spacing I'm not posotive you'd have to check on that.

I just dropped some 20"s on our Endeavor. We put some 20" panther Valeras on...here is a link to what the rims look like. When I get a chance I will take a photo of the actual SUV. (http://www.1stoprimshop.com/rim.php?name=Valera&brand=Panther)

The measurement is 5x114.3mm. You need a lower profile tire, we got a 275/45/R20. You need a FWD (positive) offset. Depending how much you want to stick out on the sides.....we got a +35 offset, and it is pretty much flush with the fenders, just a tad out.

I wish we could have gone bigger, but the coil (spring, or whatever its called) by the front wheels really limits the size.

I guess you could MAYBE get a 22" with a LOW profile (30 series) but the quality of ride would be horrible, and our salesman said he don't think a 30 series tire can support the weight of an SUV.
