What bolt pattern is Ford Escape?
Most current Ford Escape models use a 5x108 mm bolt pattern, while older Escapes typically used 5x114.3 mm. Always check your exact year and trim to confirm fitment.
Bolt Pattern Overview by Generation
The following guide highlights the typical lug patterns used across the main Escape generations. Use this as a starting point, but verify with your vehicle's documentation.
- 2001–2019 Ford Escape: 5x114.3 mm (5 on 4.5 inches)
- 2020–present Ford Escape: 5x108 mm (5 on 4.25 inches)
Note: Some markets or special trims may deviate; always verify with the owner's manual or Ford's parts catalog for your exact vehicle.
How to Verify Your Vehicle's Bolt Pattern
To be certain about your wheel fitment, use one of these reliable verification methods. Each approach will confirm the bolt circle size and lug count for your specific Escape.
- Inspect the vehicle’s door jamb sticker or owner's manual where wheel specs are listed (often near the driver's door). Look for the phrase "Wheel bolt pattern" or "Lug pattern."
- Use a tape measure or calipers to measure the bolt circle diameter: connect the centers of two opposite lug holes across the wheel; this measurement is the bolt circle diameter (in mm or inches).
- Count the number of lug holes on the wheel or hub; Ford Escapes are typically 5-lug patterns, but some special editions may differ; confirm that the count is five.
- Cross-check with Ford's official parts catalogs, or enter your VIN on Ford's site or a trusted parts retailer to verify the exact bolt pattern for your model year and trim.
With the exact bolt pattern confirmed, you can select compatible wheels and aftermarket parts with confidence.
Common Fitment Notes
Even when the bolt pattern matches, you should check hub bore size, offset, and wheel width to ensure proper fitment and avoid rubbing or seating issues. If you plan to run wheels with a different center bore, you may need hub-centric rings.
Summary
In short, Ford Escape bolt patterns vary by generation. The latest models use 5x108 mm, while the more widely produced 2001–2019 Escapes use 5x114.3 mm. Always verify your exact vehicle's specs using the door jamb sticker, VIN, or official Ford documentation to ensure a proper fit.
