This should be amusing.
My wife purchased a '97 Explorer today to replace her '91 Explorer.
Problem 1. The old Explorer has a barely-used set of BFG Long-Trails on it, which I refuse to give away when I sell it.
Problem 2. Although I could easily swap the tires/wheels from one to the other, she doesn't want to run the old rims on the newer vehicle. She's adamant.
Sub-problem. I've always though her older Explorer wheels would look pretty good on the XJ, but the old Explorer for sale sure as heck isn't getting my BFG's. They're 15" and 5-lug, but I'm not sure of the backspacing or lug-spacing. Would these fit a stock height '99 sport?
Unfortunately, I don't have any other specs, but the Ford dealership assures me that Explorer/Ranger factory wheels have been the same specs between 1991 and 1997, so if you know one will fit, the other should.
Anyone know a place in VA where I could have a 3-way tire dismount/mount done for a reasonable price?
:doh:
