bledsoe3 Sorry, got busy and forgot about you. Those Explorer wheels have a one inch offset. After I crawled under there I remembered I had to use a 76" axle instead of a 74 like I had figured. Gives me about a knuckle of clearance.
So if you're trying to get closer they may help.

5 on 4.5 is the bolt pattern for Fords, Chryslers, AMC's, and (if memory serves) Studebakers. You should be able to find nearly any combination of diameter, width, and offset you want... Try a junkyard that specializes in older cars.
