2016 Ford Explorer Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 2016 Ford Explorer runs a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 63.4mm center bore. The stock setup is 18x7.5 with a 44mm offset. You can upgrade through compatible sizes ranging from 17-inch up to 21-inch diameters, with widths from 7.5 to 9 inches. Since fitment is square across all four corners, staggered setups aren't necessary—choose whatever diameter and width combination suits your style and budget.
Keep in mind that only the 5x114.3 bolt pattern will fit your Explorer. If you select a wheel with a center bore larger than 63.4mm, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper centering and vibration-free operation. While this vehicle accommodates a wide range of sizes, extremely aggressive offsets or wider wheels risk interference with fenders and suspension components, so verify specific offset specs before purchasing.
Every wheel we stock for your Explorer is verified to fit and ships free to the lower 48 states. Check out our in-stock selections from brands like Work Wheels, BBS, Enkei, and Heritage Wheel to find the perfect match for your rig.
