spare for 2003 E.B.
Does anyone know if the 2003 Explorer E.B. has a spare wheel that has the Satin Nickel finish of the other 4? I am just wondering if I can include it in the tire rotation and it still match. Thanks.

i had no idea they started putting aluminum rims as a spare
well im not sure how it works on the new explorers on the old ones you could just lower it to the ground and take it off the cable that holds it up there and put it next to your other rims but that was the old ones so if you want to you could try that

from what I've seen, you are supposed to rotate all 5 tires (at least on pre-02's). What always confused me was that the older models all had a basic spare tire, not matching. I'd be suprised if Ford started putting a matching tire as the spare. It would be cool, but costwise, it doesn't make sense imho.

well in my 02 manual it says to chris cross the fronts and move them to the rear and move the rears straight to the front then adjust the air pressure, plus my XLS has a steel wheel spare that would look funny
