Anybody know if itz possible to put SVT lighting rims on the 2001 sport. I remember seeing a post that it wouldnt fit the 95-2001 4 door. What about the sport??

wont fit. the bolt patterns close, but not close enough.

explorer: 5x4.5"

lightning: 5x135mm (i think its 135mm, either way, they wont fit.)

sports and 4drs have the same bolt patterns... unless you could find a way to change em, it's not possible... not to mention, changin em would be a pain

you can get bolt pattern converters but it would space out the wheels and be a ton of work, not sure it would be worth it. I'd look around for a lightning replica wheel or something. There was over 100 manufacturers of different wheels at the SEMA show, each of them had a unique blend of wheels for sporty vehicles. I'm sure at least one of them has something that looks similar to a lightning wheel for your bolt pattern :)

i dont know about those bolt pattern converters; theyre basically wheel spacers with different patterns on em, and, take it from me, wheel spacers are a definite "no no" :nono:
