1997 Ford Expedition Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1997 Ford Expedition Eddie Bauer or XLT requires a 5x135 bolt pattern. The factory wheel measures 16x7, and you can step up to larger sizes including 16x7.5, 16x8, 17x7.5, 17x8, 17x8.5, 18x8, 18x8.5, 18x9, or 20x8.5. Since this model uses a square setup, all four corners accept the same dimensions, giving you flexibility in choosing your preferred size and width.
Only the 5x135 bolt pattern will work on this Expedition, so verify compatibility before purchasing. The hub requires an 87.1mm center bore; if your chosen wheel has a larger bore, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper fit. Aggressive widths and extreme offsets risk contact with fenders and suspension components, so stay within the listed compatible sizes to avoid clearance problems.
All wheels listed here bolt directly onto your Expedition and ship free throughout the lower 48 states. Carolina Forged, American Racing, Vision, WELD Performance, and Ion are among the quality brands we stock for your fitment.
