They wont fit. They have a 5 on 5.5" bolt pattern while explorer's are 5 on 4.5"
 






THANKS FOR THE INFO.
 






yeah, they wont fit.... however, the new one probably dont use a 5 on 5.5" pattern anymore.... i htink fomoco started going metric on us.... but its like 5 on 11x mm ..... but yeah, they wont fit though
 






Lightning rims are 5x135.
 






ok hartman.... hehe.. i knew they were metric.... maybe i figured the 11x as our size rims? or whatever would be close to a 5 on 4.5?
 


















Where in this thread am I trying to be funny?
 






LOL calm down now everyone :). Yes tehy are 5x135mm, no they won't fit, though I have seen some wheels that look similar to the lightning wheels, but for other bolt patterns, dont recall the brand though.
 






KMC Thunders are similar.

you could probably convert the hubs to the lightning ones.....just an opinion
 












If you wanna check out what the thunders look like on an X you can check mine out at my cardomain site, they are similar to lightning rims as hartman said
