this may be beat to death but I did use the search option and could not find what I am looking for. What I would like to know is will a 15" rim fit my 95 Explorer? It has 16s now and well I found a great set for it and they are 2 hours away and before I commit I would like to know if they fit.
Also the same question for a 2004 Sport crap I mean Trac. thanks guys and gals

Should fit the Explorer just fine, depends on the wheel though, a lot of factory wheels (Jeep ones in particular) are offset to where the brake calipers will rub in the front. It is really hard, if not impossible to say exactly if they'll work and the best answer you'll get is that no, not ALL wheels will work.

Probably the same answer for the Sport Trac.

Only thing you can be reasonable sure would fit is stock wheels from another explorer. Still not a sure thing then. Depends on tire size and spring wear too.

You can't be sure of anything until you try them on the vehicle....
..... Well unless it came off of the almost the same vehicle anyway.

these are aftermarket old school rims. Centerline I believe by the looks of them. they are a wider offset so Glass fenders and sides are going on anyway. hell I will just get them and if they do not fit they can go on the wall. Thanks

Only way to know for sure is to try them on.

Since the Rangers are similar to the Exploders and the Ranger can handle a 4” back space with 15” rims, the quick answer might be yes they fit but you will have to try them before buying them.
