2007-14 Ford Expedition Wheel, Tire & Suspension Fitment Guide

A Third Generation Ford Expedition is a great choice for a custom rig. Not quite as old as previous Expedition models and new enough that the interiors have some nice comfortable features as a bonus. But if you’re unfamiliar with the vehicle or haven’t tackled your own build before, you might not know what you’re looking for or where to start. Well congratulations, you’ve come to just the right place. This fitment guide will contain some great information and examples from our Gallery that can help point you in the right direction.

By the time the Ford Expedition reached its third version, manufactured between the years 2007-14 it had become a mainstay in the SUV world. This model had even higher towing capacity than the last, as well as undergoing some cosmetic changes to both its exterior and interior. It also introduced a four-wheel independent suspension to improve handling and ride quality.

Stock Wheel & Tire Fitment for the Third Generation (2007-2014) Ford Expedition

The third version of the Expedition came with a few more available tire and wheel sizes than the previous models. Available tire sizes include 265/70R17, 255/70R18 and a 275/55R20, which gives any enthusiast looking to customize their Expedition’s tires a lot of choices to choose from. Similarly with wheels, the third gen can sport a 17x7.5, 17x8, 18x8.5 or 20x8.5.

It’s safe to say that choices abound with this version of the Expedition. The bolt pattern is a 6x135 which is important to remember when searching for wheels because you’ll want to find some that match this pattern - otherwise you’ll be needing an adapter.

33” tires combined with a wheel size of 17x9 and a lift kit between 3 or 4 inches would be a great fit on these Expeditions, giving the SUV a great balance between a rugged and tough yet still easily street capable look that’s sure to catch attention.
