Ford Flex Factory Wheels on an Explorer??

Will a set of factory ford flex wheels fit on a 2002 explorer XLT with out any modification. I am talking like shaving and wheel spacers. They stated they also fit the edge, and I saw a explorer on here with edge wheels but I don't remember if he said he modified them or not? I was looking for specs and came up with a few. Thanks for the help I know nothing about compatibility of wheels and offsets. I just know they need to be the same lug pattern and I don't have any idea what that is for my XLT.

Flex Wheels:
Wheel Size/Offset : 19x8 +39mm
OEM part# 8A83-1007-DC
Tire Size 225/55/HR19
Bolt pattern: 5 x 114.3

Yes they will fit fine. That is as close to factory explorer spec as you can get.

I'm interested as well. The Flex Limited has some awesome looking wheels.

Excellent I figure that much out, but thanks you replied while I was researching. They are also a little narrower width wise at 225mm? I don't know how that part would look but I think they are great looking factory wheels. The width and the offset have me concerned though.

I edited my post. I searched (google) and they are 1mm off on offset, so they should fit great.

are they 1mm further in or out? What are the thoughts on the width difference. A explorer is a 265 correct and the flex is 225? Is 40 mm going to be noticeable and effect handling?

Yes, they will fit. it's basically the same chassis as Edge, a little longer. Actually it's the replacement for the freeatyle/taurus X.

Anyone ever notice the chrome clad 18" rims on Edge Limited and Explorer limited are the same? They are.
