Question Would my F-250 4x4 wheels fit my 97 Explorer and would...

Would I have to have my speedometer re-calibrated? Would this make me appear to be going 10 mph over if I did NOT? I need to know if the tires on my F-250 33.5 x 12.50. x 16" would fit on the stock rims of my 97 Ford Explorer (235/75R/15) Thanks! Tony

And I doubt very much whether the bolt pattern is the same, or that 33.5" tires would fit on an Explorer without a lift.

I have the lift on the Explorer, what I am wondering is do I need to re-calibrate?

Would I have to recalibrate the speedometer? Would this size tire make my speed read too high?

Yes the explorer wheel is a 28.9 and the f250 wheel is 33.5, big difference.

Your speedo would read about 16% too slow if you switched to 33.5 height from 28.9.
