[QUOTE="Becker69 CO, post: 736994, member: 53963"] I know it's a random question, but I am trying to find out if there is a difference between the offset on an OEM 16x7 Sport Trac wheel (most significantly the 5 spokes on the 01's) and the tear drop or similar 16x7 OEM Explorer alloys. I know the common off-the-cuff answer would be "NO there isn't a difference" although I know the Sport Trac has at least body-wise a wider stance albeit with the same (or interchangeable) IFS set-up, Tie-rods, CV's, and 8.8. In addition, the exact 16x7 ST wheels I am referring to were only offered on the Sport and ST (although, I know the 4-door Ex body style changed in 01 as well). In addition, the ST came with higher rated torsion bars and other minor underpinning differences. Personally, I think they are different but I can't find consistent stampings off of the wheels I am trying to compare So... does anyone know?? TIA [/QUOTE]
