2003 Ford Expedition bolt pattern

The
lug pattern
for your Ford Expedition is 6x5.3, sometimes called 6 on 5.3. In other words, there are 6 lug holes spaced around a circle 5.3 inches in diameter. Here’s what these numbers signify:
# of bolts x diameter of the circle they form
As you prepare to swap your wheels, you’ll need to know a few other important measurements. Make sure to have your Ford’s stud size, wheel offset, center bore measurement, and torque specifications at the ready: 
  • Factory wheel size: 17”  
  • Stud size: M14x2.0 
  • Offset: 25 to 45 mm
  • Center bore: 87.1 mm
  • Wheel tightening torque: N/A

How to measure your Ford Expedition’s bolt pattern

If you don’t have access to these numbers when you need them or simply want to check the measurements yourself, you can measure the bolt pattern using a measuring tape or ruler.
To find your pattern, count the number of bolts (or lugs). Next, measure from the outer edge of the lug hole to the center of the opposite bolt to find your diameter. Put both numbers together in the expression (# of bolts x diameter of the circle they form), and you’ve got your bolt pattern!
