93 explorer xlt
looking to get some chrome soft eights and with many searches and tons of reADING I THINK I'M LOOKING FOR A 15X7 WITH 4.5IN BACK SPACING AND +12 OFFSET. IS THIS CORRECT? sorry about the caps lol. anyhow, i can't seem to find any with a +12 offset. i'll be running them on a bone stock 1993 4x4 4dr xlt. i'm just looking to replace the stockers. thanks fellas!
 






Width: 7"
Backspace: 4.5"
Offset: +12mm

Yep.

I doubt you'll find any with that factory backspacing or offset, but it's fine to go with the 0 or 6mm offset and have them out a little farther. This can also be good in case you ever get slightly larger tires so they won't rub.

Keep in mind Cragar Soft 8's are a HEAVY wheel. They are heavy enough that it affects acceleration and mileage. Even more so with bigger, heavier tires.

If you don't need anything that heavy-duty, you might consider just getting some less expensive replacement steel wheels, or even some chrome stockers from a Ranger or later model Explorer.
