The 2005 Ford Explorer has rear axle nuts that are 35 mm in size, while front nuts vary between 29-32mm depending on the trim level. It comes with either 16-inch or 17-inch original equipment manufacturer (OEM) rims. The XLS, XLT, and XLS trims come with P235/70R 16 tires, while the Limited, XLT Sport, and Eddie Bauer trims are equipped with P245/65R 17 tires. They have a lug nut pattern of 5 X114.3mm. It is recommended to inflate all tires to a pressure of 35 PSI for both front and rear. When taking care of winter tires, it is important to regularly check the pressures to maintain the recommended PSI. In colder temperatures, air contracts, occupying less space in the tire and causing a decrease in pressure of 1-2 PSI for every 10-degree drop in temperature. Keeping the correct tire pressure is crucial for preserving fuel efficiency and ensuring safety while driving.
The 36mm nut is the correct size for the rear axle of a 2005 Ford Explorer.
