I believe they are the same bolt pattern, but you will NEED spacers...

Yep, same bolt pattern but without spacers they will look funny.
Stock Sport Trac wheels:
2004 Explorer wheels:
The side with the Explorer wheels IS knocked back on the springs a bit but you can easily see the offset difference.

Thanks for the information. So they will fit, but will be able to drive the vehicle with the 17" wheels on it. The spacers are needed for appearance only?

The offset is different and you may have clearance issues in the front hitting sway bars, control arms or the ball joints..
A test fit would be best..

I saw Explorer wheels on a Ranger not long ago. The track looked so narrow it just looked wrong and unsafe at the same time.
