bolt pattern question

[reviveourhomes]

i heard that the explorer and jeep cherokee have the same bolt pattern, the reason im asking is i am looking for tires and wheels and there is someone near me selling four 31 bfg mts and rockcrawlers that are 15x8 with 3.75 backspacing for jeep so i needed to know for sure. thanks for your time

what about the new Lightning? i wanna buy those 18" SVT rims but I'm not sure if they will fit my '00 explorer. i know they will fit the expedition. does anyone know what the actually pattern is (in numbers)?

5x5.5 for the f150 and 5x4.5 for the explorers

Actually the new 97+ F150s and Expeditions are 5x135mm. Pre-97 are 5x5.5.

do they make lug conversion kits that would allow fitment of the Lightning rims?

 

[NOTAJP]

Yes, but about $100-150/pair.

The Explorer has a 5x4.5 inch bolt pattern right? These have a 5-114.3 mm bolt pattern. So 11.43cm divided by 2.54cm for every inch gives you 4.5in. Is this right?

Yes, 5x4.5 is the eqivelent to 5x114.3. Will bolt right on.
