Will Mustang/Shelby wheels fit the our new Explorer?

Also what are the stock dimensions of Explorer wheels?

Also what are the stock dimensions of Explorer wheels?

I had to go to the Canadian Ford site to get the wheel sizes. For some reason I couldn't find that info on Ford.com.
The Boss has 245/35WR19 fronts and 285/35WR19's on the rear. When comapring these sizes against the Base (245/65R17), XLT (245/60R18) and Limited (255/50R20) the tire calculator says these (mustang) tires should not be used because the diameter difference far exceeds the max recommended of 3%.
Unfortunately I do not know the exact specs of the wheels. Your local dealer's parts department may be able to help there. Ford doesn't seem to release this info readily.

I am planning on just getting a set of 18" ers and using the stock tires so I only need to know the wheel specs

They'll fit however the backspacing is the problem cause if I recall its in the neighborhood of like 6 inches or so.. Maximum amount of backspacing a Explorer could work with is 4 to 4.5 inches.

I thought that would be a sticking (the backspacing) issue. Thanks for the info.
