Hi guys,

Can any one tell me if I can fit 2003 Mustang Cobra wheels on my 2000 Ford Explorer, the cobra wheels have a 5x4.5 or 5x1143 bolt pattern, the offset I’m not sure on.

Hear is a picture of the wheels.



Can any one help?

I believe the 2000 explorer has a 5x4.5 pattern. I don't see the problem?
And like ChevyTruck said. If you have them in your posetion, you could find out in like 10 minutes.

Did a google search and came across this thread. The guy has a '02 Explorer sport.

Yes they will fit. If your Explorer is 2wd, you will likely need a ~1/4" spacer on the front so the hub will fit.

That's been the consensus on all my searches. I seen a 5/16 spacer on one but it was a 97.

MY Explorer is 4wd, Will that make a difference, will 1/4" spacer on the front make them fit?

You are not afraid that an unsprung mass will grow. Moreover, midsize suv has little power, you lose a certain amount of power. In addition, an increase in unsprung mass affects the suspension resource - it is designed for a certain load limited by regular wheels.
