2022 Ford Explorer Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 2022 Ford Explorer Base bolts on with a 5x114.3 pattern and ships with an 18x8 wheel at 37-millimeter offset. You can go wider within the same diameter—up to 18x9.5—or step up to 19-inch and 20-inch sizes while staying square across all four corners. All compatible fitments maintain the same bolt pattern and deliver the aggressive look you want.
The 70.5-millimeter hub bore means you'll want hub-centric rings if your new wheels have a larger center hole, ensuring a proper fit without vibration. Since this Explorer runs a square setup, avoid excessively aggressive offsets that push the wheel too far outboard; doing so risks contact with the fender or suspension components. Stick to the compatible sizes and offsets we've verified for your truck.
Every wheel we list bolts straight on and ships free to the lower 48 states. Stock your next set from trusted names like BBS, Enkei, Work Wheels, and Heritage Wheel—all ready to ship.
