My plan was to re-drill the axleshafts and brake drums to the GM pattern. Then I had some luck in the salvage yard, and scored a pair of the "salad-shooter" wheels from a '94 Z28. These should have enough positive offset to make up for the Explorer axle being wider. Those are 16" x 8". Then I found a pair of different-style 5-spoke 16x8s from a ZQ8 S-10, same as the '91-'92 Z28 had. They use the same center caps. Somewhat of a visual mismatch when parked, but functionally equivalent, they have far less offset. Pics soon. Right now I just pulled the drums, about to pull the shafts when the lube's all drained.
