The 2003 Ford Explorer's wheel bolt pattern is 5x114.3mm, which is crucial for securing the wheels and rims on the vehicle. This measurement indicates that there are five bolt holes spaced out in a circle with a diameter of 114.3mm. The vehicle uses lug nuts as fasteners and has a thread size of 1/2" - 20, a center bore of 70.6mm. The wheels on the Explorer range from 16 to 17 inches in diameter and 7 inches in width. For the Eddie Bauer, Limited, and NBx models, the recommended tire size is 245/65R17, while the XLS model requires 235/70R16 tires.
