2005 Explorer AWD wheel specs

Apr 01, 2006 1 Replies

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.
