Will '93 Cobra rims fit onto a 2002 Explorer?

I had this crazy idea because I like the '93 Cobra rims so much. The Cobra rim I looked at is Ø17" diameter, 8.5" wide, has a +30mm offset, 5.9" backspacing, and the 5 x 4.5" (114.3mm) bolt pattern. Anyone ever tried this combination?

1993 Cobra rims on a 2002 Explorer

Something isn’t adding up in your question ...

The factory 1993 Cobra rims are a 4 bolt pattern. (I sold the ‘93 Cobra I bought new in 2014 @ 200,000+ miles, and did 99% of the maintenance on myself ... ie my knowledge is first hand.)

The 2002 Explorer rims are a 5 bolt pattern. I also know this first hand from the ‘02 SportTrac I bought new, and my daughter still drives today.

One more thing ...

The factory ‘93 Cobra rims are 7.5” wide; not 8.5”. So I don’t think the rims you’re looking at are factory.
