Hello,

I own a 98 Explorer Sport 4X4 that currently has 15" Ford OEM 10 Hole/slot Aluminum Wheels.

I'm looking to fit it with stock Ford 16" OEM Wheels, so as to keep the costs and potential fit hassels to a minimum.

My question is which model of Ford OEM 16" Aluminum rim will have the correct backspacing to work my Ex without having to deal with wheel spacers or fitting issues? To further clarify, is there a certain casting/model number asociated with the rim I am supposed to be looking for?

Any advice/pictures is appreciated (including leads to wheels for sale in California),
FD in Nor Cal

I think the ones I have on mine should work, and I am looking to possibly sell them. The have virtually brand new bfg a/t on them. Here is what they look like:

I have those on my Sport as they came standard. Absolutely love them. IMO one of the best OEM wheels Fordhas made.
