Anyone know if these will work with 2013 Ford Explorer AWD with 20" wheels. Ford says not to use chains.

The chains may work, as they are designed for low profile wheels and tire combinations. The trick is to check one of your lug nuts for the outside diameter. If it is 22mm or larger, you might have a problem. The K56 set would not fit on my RR Sport Supercharged with 20 inch stock wheels. My Lug nut OD is 22mm, and while Thule Customer Service suggested they "should" work, I can tell you they did not. I checked with a local Thule dealer at a Road and Rack store, and he said that the K56 set does not include the largest lug nut sleeve, but I could order it seperately, that didn't appeal to me, so sent my set back. You are right, these are expensive, so you want to get it right from the get go. By the way, the Amazon return process was a piece if cake, so it's not the end of the world. Good luck!

These chains are so compact that they almost remove two chain-related issues. 1 - they don't reach around the inner side of the tire. Turning the steering wheel to either extreme will not bring the chains into the inner sidewalls. (This is why chains are not recommended on most current day vehicles)2 - the links are rigid and hold their optimal form during installation. They won't flap around and hit your car, and they un/install with relative ease.I am able to use these on a Mini Cooper with slightly oversized snow tires. Check the tire fitting guide on Thule.com to see if chains are offered for your combined rim/tire size.

I bought them for a 2004 Chevy Cavalier. I have no idea if they will fit a ford explorer.

We have a Volvo XC 90 with 17" wheels. We bought these chains because they hug the tire and don't rub in the wheel well. We've used them in Tahoe several times; they work well. I would imagine a pick-up has even more clearance than an SUV... but I'm no expert. Hope they work for you...

Best bet is to go to security chain's web site. They have a tire chain fitment wizard that will tell you which chains fit your tires.

I dont think it does, I have not been able to get them to work on my 97 ford explorer.CHEERS!

This fits the Ford Explorer. The Explorer 4X4 is locked in in the transfer case not the hub. Your axle splines fit through the hub then you put the nut on the end of axle. I have about 1,000 miles on mine no trouble.

I am using them on a 12 inch wheel. If you have a standard mounting hole it should work for you.

Hello, these wheels are not for your vehicle. You will need a wheel that has a 5x4.5 bolt pattern and a high offset of +40mm to a +50mm.

They worked fine for my 15-Passe3nger Ford van, although mine was 245. My son-in-law had front & rear chains on his 4x4 pickup.

I have a 2004 Buick Rainier AWD and my owners manual states Do Not Use tire chains as there is not sufficient clearance and damage to vehicle safety systems could result.

I bought them for my 1996 Explorer last spring, not on this website but another. They were installed and work perfectly. Not sure if a 97 would cause problems, they're pretty much the same as the 96's.

No they will be to small. Your wheels are 6" & the chains are only for 4" wheels

As far as I know they will fit but it's better to get ones that says for a wagon cause of the weight in the back. I'm actually using these on my forester lowered on wrx springs

I have the same solid tires on mine and the chains fit and work fine. Could be the wrong size chains were sent in error.

My guess is these chains will fit if you are prepared to cut them to fit the size of you wheel... I bought them to improve the traction of my Ariens 5520 snowblower... the tire size on my snowblower is 13x4.00-6 which is among the sizes these chains are specified. To make the chains fit properly I had to cut off five links of length (including two cross members). This is no big deal, but if you do not have a bolt cutter, it will probably be very challenging...I also bought the QG20030 (small) chain tightener but it also was too big for my 13 inch wheel...so I used only the (orange) hooks with a small bungee cord and that solved the problem...

hello the stock lugs will not work properly for these wheels. you will need to purchase after market lugs that are a 60 degree conical seat. These will bolt the wheel up for you. I am sorry but we do not include them nor sell them on amazon.

They will work. You will need 17 inch tires for these wheels. Make sure the wheel offset is ok for his vehicle. The offset is how much they stick out or how far they are tucked in.
