Stock wheel dimensions?

[mtadd162]

hi, i have a 1993 explorer and i still have my stock rims on there and i was wondering what the total dimensions (width, bolt pattern, center hole diameter/radius, stock offset) of them were becuase im thinking of going aftermarket and i figure id ask here before i go searching around, thanks

15"X7", 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern, 4.5" backspace, I don't know the center hole diameter.

thanks....does anyone know that center hole diameter thats one of the main things i need cause all of these aftermarket rims are mainly for those tuners > not the 4WD beast's

***that first one is supposed to be an angry face...lol

 

[mtadd162]

center hole diameter? anyone?

I'd say 2.5-3" I just got a set of open center caps to clear my hubs & they are 3", & fit nicely around the hub.

Most of the time, the hub size is measured in millimeters...

If you getting aftermarket wheels, depending on where you are looking, most places have ways of narrowing it down as you search, and one of the ways they do it is by asking if you are 2WD or 4WD, which will then show you wheels fitting such.

just had a question i wanted to make sure about...if i got a backspacing less than 4.5" say 3.5"...would the tires stick out more or go opposite, lol?

 

[Jason94sport]

stick out more

 

[mtadd162]

thanks, just making sure....wats the legal limit on that? (how far out they can stick)

 

[Jason94sport]

No idea. That stuff varies by state.

The 2WD has a wheel bore diameter of 2.75", not sure about the 4WD, but I suspect it's the same.

Most states require the tires be covered by the fender lip. It's a safety issue more than anything. If the tires are outside the fender, and it's raining, they will throw up all kinds of rain water, making it dangerous for vehicles following you....

Anyone know the stock rim weights for some of the different rims? Which factory ones were the lightest?
