2018 Ford Explorer Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 2018 Ford Explorer accepts a 5x114.3 bolt pattern across all trims. The stock setup runs 18x7.5 at a 44mm offset. You can step up through 19-inch and 20-inch widths, or go as large as 21x9 if you prefer an aggressive look. Since this model uses square fitment, you'll run the same specs front and rear.
Keep in mind that only 5x114.3 bolts will fit your Explorer. The hub-centric bore measures 63.4mm, so use hub-centric rings if your wheel's center bore is larger. Wider and more aggressive offsets risk rubbing into the fender or suspension, so stay conservative if you plan significant increases in width beyond stock.
Every wheel we offer for your Explorer is verified to bolt on and qualifies for free shipping in the lower 48 states. We stock Aodhan, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Enkei, Vors, Black Rhino, BBS, and Gram Lights, all ready to ship.
