I can't figure this out...

I've seen a million people put Cobra R rims on their Explorers, but all this back spacing, offset whatever is blowing my mind. Can we just use stock Mustang wheels on our Explorers? And does anyone have experience with these? They seem to cheap/good to be true...

you need to know the backspacing or else they might not fit, explorers and mustangs had idfferent suspensions, brakes, etc under there.....


as far as those rims, they are fine, a typical knockoff replica rim

This site is great, questions answered literally within minutes... Anyhoo, I did read a couple of posts, but sadly I can't make heads or tails as to whether or not these, or wheels like them, will fit. I guess what I'm really hoping for is someone that has them/or something like them, will be able to give a yes/no as to whether they'll fit.

Do NOT buy from them. I bought some mustang wheels for my girlfriends mustang and they did't even have them in stock and didn't know when they were going to be getting them :thumbdwn:

And the quality is ****ty, I saw a set that actually got shipped, they just didn't seem to be of quality I would put on my explorer.

Yes, wheels like these will fit on your explorer. You can get a set through discount tire pretty decent.
