Hint: see if 114.3 millimeters is equivalent to 4.5 inches.

Well to sum it up, 114.3 mm is 4.5 inches (Google) - so yes a wheel that has a 5x4.5 bolt pattern will fit on your Explorer. As for the offset, that measurement is dependant on the width of the wheel so we cant really say much about whether or not it will rub against the calipers, A-arms, or whatever - a better measurement is backspacing.
