help me find center caps!

I got 98 mustang wheels and I threw out the center caps cause I hated them and I'm stupid lol... BUT I've seen explorer? Center caps on them before... the combo was on a crown vic. I waited around to ask, but he didn't come out and I left... sooo question is, any other centers that you know of that will defenatly fit? I think the snap ring that fits in my wheel is around 6.25"

I think they are off a 04ish explorer, the kind that holds to the lugs, not the kind that has clips or a ring. any one here have one they could POP off and measure for me? I've been searching junkyards with no luck...

i forget exactly, but i remember trying supercoupe and turbocoupe caps and they did not fit right. as long as the explorer cap is around 6.5" diameter and holds onto the lugs, i think it will work. i wish i took a pic of that guys car.

also... i forgot to mention im putting em on my ranger, AND i found blanks for anyone interested in useing them on there tbird. look at ebay, the guy sells em for like 35$ for a set of 4 blanks. dam ranger has older wheel hubs with a nut and dust cap that sticks out past the wheel, so the explorer one should also hide that.

Gumby, that first link looks like what I saw. I found these on eBay too and noticed there like half an inch smaller then what I think I need. I'll keep poking around till I find something or possibly pix with measurements.

Don't really belong here, but this is the new truck...99 2wd 5speed 2.5l ranger. Lowered it 2" and put my mustang wheels/tires on. New beater, great for getting parts.

nice, another Ranger guy. My daily beater is a 93 with a turbo swap. Dropped 4", big brakes, and other misc BS.
