Will 2010 Explorer 17" wheels fit the 2011 Explorer?

Hey,

I'm looking at buying a winter/wheel package from someone that was from a 2010 Ford Explorer. The tires are 245/65/17 and the bolt pattern is 5 x 114.3.

Does anyone know if the hub and offset will fit?

Thanks

Not sure if the hub pattern is the same but you need to make sure the overall diameter of the wheel/tire combo is the same as it may screw up the computer if it's off.

Offset should be fine, what's a few millimeters between friends. It's the center bore that is different. I'm 99% sure that the 2010 center bore is bigger than the 2011, so the wheel will fit. But this will make it lug centric and not hub centric. I bought 2010 17" Flex wheels, fit perfect.

I asked the parts manager this question back in March and he said he didn't know for sure but the part numbers for 2010 vs the 2011 are completely different.
I just had the Winter wheels/tires installed on my Limited yesterday. I went with the base model 17" steel wheel and a 245/65R17 BFGoodrich Winter Slalom KSI tire + TPMS. The OEM were the 20" wheels.
