Welcome to FTE.
The 15 and 16 are the wheel rim diameters. These tires are NOT interchangable.
You MUST select 16s for those wheels. Not 16.5 either, 16, period.
Can't be "made to work".
IF YOU BUY a set of 15" wheels for an Explorer, they might work. For your year, not sure if 15 was a factory size. Brake and suspension clearance are questions when going down a size.
Your best bet is stick with the 16s.
