2020 Ford Explorer Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 2020 Ford Explorer Base comes stock with an 18x8 wheel at a 37-millimeter offset, and it rides on a 5x114.3 bolt pattern. You can step up to 19-inch or 20-inch wheels across various widths—18x7.5 through 18x9.5, 19x8 through 19x9.5, or 20x8—all without staggering front and rear. The non-staggered setup means you can run the same size all around or mix widths as your build demands.
Keep in mind that only 5x114.3 wheels will fit this Explorer; any other bolt pattern won't work. Your center bore is 70.5 millimeters, so if a wheel has a larger bore, use hub-centric rings to ensure a safe fit. Going significantly wider or running a much more aggressive offset risks interference with the fender or suspension, so stick within the compatible sizes listed to avoid costly rubbing issues.
Every wheel we offer for your Explorer is verified to bolt on safely, and we ship all orders free across the lower 48 states. We stock Aodhan, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Enkei, Vors, Black Rhino, BBS, and Gram Lights—all ready to ship.
