Re: Explorer 8.8 swap

I have no problem with mine but there are a few things to think about if you already have wheels. The Explorer axle is narrower than the stock axle and 5x4.5 bolt pattern

I just bought some high quality 1" wheel adapters. They are hub centric on the axle and inside the wheel. I have 20x9.5 wheels and this makes them perfectly centered.
