The Model Hobbit - 01 Apr 2006 01:10 GMT

Hi everyone

I need to know what the backspacing and offset is for the OEM wheels that
come standard on my 2005 Explorer XLT 4x4 with the 4.0 engine. I am
interested in installing a set of 17" Mustang Bullitt wheels but do not know
which model year is more compatible with the Explorer. Are wheels from the
'94 thru '04 or '05-'06 (different offset at +45mm) a better match.

TIA

FYI, 1998 Explorer 'wheel offset' 12 mm (0.48 in), and 'wheel bolt
circle runout' 0.50 mm (0.020 in). Nothing about 'backspacing' listed
in/under General Specifications of Ford TSP Workshop Manual CD.
