The 2" hub centric ones I have fit the rear fine but don't go over the hub in the front.

anyone know where to get hubcentric ones for the front on a 2wd 2003 sport
Thanks

No idea, sorry. I would have thought they would be the same. Have you tried the place you purchased yours from? You may need to check the diameter of the hub on the truck, and have that ready in case they ask.
 












they are different on a 2wd

same spacer, took it off the back and tried to put it on the front.
the inside of the spacer bore needs to be a little deeper. 1/2 " maybe
I guess i could get another 2" set and have them machined if I can't get one
that is all this place offers for the explorer

Take it to a machine shop and get it lathed out 1/2" deeper.

the wheel hubs for the front 02-05 mountaineer awd & 2wd are the same part, no difference
 






Arent the 03 2Wd sport front ends the same as the 2nd gen? That would explain some things.
 






not sure about what is the same from year to year, but for sure

the spacers I have that fit on the rear do not go all the way on the front
I'll probably take them to the machine shop after I see exactly what is interfering and by how much.

Thanks for the help guys
