Why wont wheels fit?
I have 97 xlt . I bought some explorer wheels (or expedition) for it . They were 5 lug 16" 135 mm spacing. I took them to get installed today and was told they wont fit. My steel wheels use a flat lug nut. and the chrome wheels require an acorn nut. The wheel wont line up on the lugs and fit . The spacing is the same and I am unable to understand why they wont fit. The only difference I see is the chrome wheel lug opening is raised and my steel wheel is flat. Can someone tell me why they wont fit? I dont understand why they wont. The tire shop guy said the holes are different . Thats why they wont fit. That I dont understand. Thanks for the input .

do you guys think the probelm is that lug bolt size is 14mm, and the wheel is for the 12mm lug bolt, i dont think that would be the probelm but just throwing it out there
seeing how they switch lug sizes
