Those are from an '02+ Explorer. They have alot more back spacing than your stock ones. They will sit further in the wheel well and may contact you front sway bar during full lock. But they will fit.
 






can I use a wheel spacer to bring them out to the stock location ??
 






You can. Just make sure they're quality ones.
 






any idea how much they would be off ?? 1/2, 3/4 ,1 inch ??
 






A ranger a few houses down has those rims.
 






what about these rims -
