    Spacing and offset *should* be the same for anything up to 2002, right? Or am I just a clueless aero guy who knows nothing about boxes?

    (Hint: I'm a clueless aero guy who knows nothing about boxes)

    If that's true, Ranger and Explorer wheels should fit as well. Not sure what years though.

    1990 Toyota Camry DX - 211k miles, someone else's future barn find

      Yes, this is true.

        There was a box TC around here for several years that had late 90's Explorer rims on it. Saw it in the junkyard last year.
        1990 MGM: $50 E7 heads, HO cam, Holley SysteMAX lower intake, HO upper intake with an Explorer TB. LSC ECM. Lincoln logs into stock dual exhaust. K&N drop in air filter. Wide ratio AOD, 2400 converter with a 3.08 one tire fire out back. Car is less slow now. Then there's the '92 Beater. Dual 2.25" exhaust with shiny tips. Rumbles nice. Super slow. Burns oil too.

              The reproductions are hit or miss about having the hub bore deep enough to fit a box on HPP wheels, but actual ford wheels will fit a box.

                This thread could be closed, I found a nice set of steelies that I'm going to run for the winter instead. However, if anyone has a set of the flat, dish style Lincoln hubcaps I'd be interested in buying them. Condition isn't very important as they'll see salt and gunk.
