Will the same rims that fit my 95 Bronco be able to go on an Explorer? Or is the pattern different from my Bronco to the Explorer? Thanks in advance.

Bolt pattern on the Explorer is smaller I do believe. Your Bronco, being full-size will have 5 bolts on a 5.5" center. The Explorer should be 5 on 4.5" center. The Explorers and Rangers/Aerostars should have the same bolt pattern as the Explorer.

Quick add on question, does the 4wd factor of the bronco affect wheel selection? I want to put on new rims, but i just noticed the hubs might limit the style of wheel available. Am I wrong about this, or can almost any 5.5 with the correct backspacing fit?
Thanks

Gavin, you are correct, the wheel bore measurement has to be taken into account. Make sure the wheels are for a 4WD.

I ran into this problem in trying to switch wheels from a Cherokee to an Explorer. Everything was compatible; rim diameter, width, backspacing, but the bore diameter was different........
