Explorer 2015 oem wheels on a 2002?

[34Ford]

If this site is correct then the 2011 and up has a 63.3mm center bore size and mine is 70.5mm. This site also says the lugs are larger, I dont believe that.

So I am out of luck fitting these 2015 wheels on mine?

I've always read that the center bore was the biggest concern but hopefully someone else will drop by with more info. I've seen several newer ford wheels I'd like to run for cheap, but always seems to come back to center bore.

You would have to run custom spacers to run them. The wheels have a fwd offset but with like 1.25-1.5" spacers and matching hub centers they would work perfect.

I also still don't think they would work without spacers IF you had the wheel hub bored out. The rear axle stub would poke through the center cap.
