2005 Explorer XLT Sport
The stock alloy rims on my 2005 Explorer XLT Sport are shot and I want to get a set of black steel rims. I found a place to buy a set of OEM spare replacements (they even list the OE part # 4L2Z1015AA) but I'm a little concerned about the center bore diameter.
The center bore on the spares I found is 70.6mm but I keep finding both 70.6mm and 70.5mm listed for the hub bore size.
If it is indeed 70.5 hubs vs 70.6 rims, will there be any problem? I know I'm not going to find hub centric rings that are .1mm.
Or is the 70.5 that I'm seeing just wrong?

Thanks
 






Will fit.
Dont worry.
 






I had the same issue with my 03 Limited chrome clad wheels. Corrosion gets under the chrome and it get's worse from there, including not being able to seal. Just go with OEM reconditioned and you should be fine.
