Will later rims fit my x? - Ford Explorer Ranger Enthusiasts "Serious Explorations"®

ugot5.0ed · 01-10-2002, 10:16 AM

Hey guys-
Brand new to the sight, need advice on newer factory rims fitting my 1992. What newer years will fit the lug spacing on my 1992? And what is the largest tire I can fit? 31"? Please help. Also I need a performance air intake and exhaust, used.
Please help!!!

Joel

I know up to and including 94 will fit. I don't know if the patteren changes after that.

I had 31s on my truck before the lift on stock wheels. The front rubed on the sway bar at full turn and a very little bit at full compression.

Thanks for your reply, I want to buy some alloys from a
98 I think, the swirling blade type, just need to know if they fit!!

As far as I know explorers have a 5 on 4 and a half. I'm pretty sure just about all explorers are the same wheel. New or old I would think we all have the same bolt pattern.

i have some from my 96 that could probably work for you. they are the ones i think you are looking for kind of a swirling blade with 5 "curved" oval holes. if the bolts are the same i can post pics if you want.

Joel, I know for a fact that 64-1/2-73 Mustangs use a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern as does a Toyota two wheel drive pick up. I dont know if the center hole is the same or not. i know you want the newr Explorer wheels but this gives you a few more optin as far as finding a used set of wheels.
I also believe that a Jeep Wrangler or Cheroke (oh no I said the J word , somebody shoot me LOL) has the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern.
