Need a quick answer on rims

[Willie Two]

Will a 16 inch winter rim, 5 x 4.25 fit my 2005 Sporttrac ?? Thanks to all who reply. It's a multihole rim ( 4.25 or 4.5 ) style.

Explorers & ST's are 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern

Is the rim offset a concern, I understand there is concerns regarding clearance of the brake calipers ? Thanks for your help.

A 16" rim should clear the caliper. But yes the offset is a concern. To wide of a rim with to much back spacing will cause issues with the tire hitting the sway bar etc. What size rim and tire are you trying to use?

 

[Willie Two]

The offset is plus 35 load rating is 1500 lbs. I just want to make the right move here on purchasing these " no refund " used rims. They are a universal steel rim 16 x 6 diameter with a 5 x 4.25 / 4.5 bolt pattern. I will be buying snow tires to suit the rims if they fit.

6" wide is pretty narrow. So even with the +35 I think the will fit. I would test fit one just to be sure.
