Wheel Swap

[sakirfp]

Recently my wife's '05 Exp XLT died. It needs a new motor. So until then it is just sitting at the house. 4 months ago she got some new tires on the truck. I do not want them to just go to waste till I change the motor.

I was thinking pull off the rims and tires from her Explorer and put them on my '04 Sport Trac XLT.

05 Explorer has P245/65/R17
04 Expl Sport Trac P255/70/R16

I am just wondering a few things?

Will the fit with no issues?

Will the different tire size change up my speed-o

I like that site.

I can live with the speed-o being off by just a little bit. I will change the wheels out this weekend.

The wheels will set in more. The offset on the 02 up Exploder's is more like a front wheel drive car. I can't remember the exact but they will work just mite look a little funny.
