OEM wheel and tire fitment specs for the 2013 Ford Escape, including bolt pattern (PCD), center bore diameter, thread size, rim diameter, rim width, wheel offset, and backspacing.
Recorded OEM specifications for the 2013 Ford Escape, donor years with overlapping ranges, and a calculator to compare a selected wheel. Range overlap is not a guaranteed fit.
Multiple OEM configurations exist for this vehicle. Fitment can vary by trim, brakes, and factory wheel package – confirm your exact setup before buying.
Center-bore records disagree: year-level hub 67.1 mm vs trim range 63.4–63.4 mm. Interchange below does not treat this as an unqualified match.

Donor vehicles with overlapping OEM specs
These are vehicle-year records whose recorded OEM ranges overlap this 2013 Ford Escape. Overlap is not a guarantee that a specific wheel will install. Selected-wheel comparison is in the calculator below.
Evaluated 82 donor years. Listed 24 eligible overlaps (not all evaluated years are compatible). Showing all listed.
Wheel geometryOEM width/offset ranges overlap (not a specific wheel)
Center-bore records disagree (target year-level hub 67.1 mm vs trim range 63.4–63.4 mm; donor year-level hub 67.1 mm vs trim range 63.4–63.4 mm). Unqualified overlap is not claimed until the conflict is resolved. Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change -5.68 mm, inner change -0.67 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.
Recorded vehicle-side thread for the 2013 Ford Escape is M12x1.5. This donor year is recorded as 1/2"-20UNF. That is the vehicle stud/nut thread, not an intrinsic thread stamped on the wheel. Hardware must match this vehicle’s studs and the selected wheel’s seat and engagement. Existing hardware may be reusable if it already matches. Seat style is not in this dataset, so products are not a verified fit.
Dataset suggestionWheel spacer ≈ 7.68 mm – not a verified installation requirement.
A spacer of about 7.68 mm is a dataset suggestion only; clearance is not verified. Estimated outer position is about 7.68 mm farther inward than the mid OEM package. Recorded vehicle-side thread differs (1/2"-20UNF on the donor year vs M12x1.5 on the target vehicle). Hardware must match the target vehicle’s studs and the selected wheel’s seat. Existing hardware may be reusable if it already matches. Seat style is not confirmed in this dataset.
Dataset suggestionWheel spacer ≈ 19.03 mm – not a verified installation requirement.
A spacer of about 19.03 mm is a dataset suggestion only; clearance is not verified. Estimated outer position is about 19.03 mm farther inward than the mid OEM package.
Donor width/offset sits outside the known OEM envelope for this vehicle. Precomputed data suggested a spacer; geometry was re-checked against OEM envelope.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator
Set “Installed on (your vehicle)” to 2013 Ford Escape. This establishes your baseline clearances.
For “Wheels from (donor vehicle),” choose the vehicle or enter the known wheel specs if you have them. This helps compare OEM-to-OEM swaps.
Use “Custom wheel size” to try new rim diameter, width, and offset. The tool shows inner clearance (suspension/brakes) and outer poke (fender/liners).
Use “Custom tire size” to adjust section width and aspect ratio. When you change rim diameter, the calculator updates total tire diameter in the comparison so you can keep overall diameter close to stock.
Review results for:
Inner clearance to strut/spring and brake calipers.
Outer poke relative to the fender/liners during steering and compression.
Overall tire diameter and speedometer impact.
If you are unsure, model conservative changes first, then physically test-fit and measure before driving.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy
Bolt pattern: Must be 5x108.
Center bore: Vehicle hub is 63.4 mm. Wheels should be hub-centric at 63.4 mm or use hub-centric rings sized to 63.4 mm inner and your wheel’s outer bore.
Threads and hardware: Studs are M12 x 1.5. Match lug nut thread and seat style to the wheel manufacturer’s requirement. Do not mix conical/ball/mag seats.
Offset and width: Start from the known OEM baseline ET 53 and 7.5 in width (where applicable). Use the calculator to see how changes affect inner clearance and outer poke. Measure on the car before finalizing.
Brake and spoke clearance: Some wheel designs have thicker barrels or aggressive spokes. Test-fit to ensure caliper clearance.
Tire diameter: Keep overall diameter close to your OEM setup to protect ABS, AWD behavior (if equipped), and speedometer accuracy.
Load rating: Wheel and tire load ratings must meet or exceed the vehicle’s requirements. Check ratings stamped on the wheel and printed on the tire sidewall.
TPMS: If your Escape is equipped with TPMS, you’ll need compatible sensors and proper programming procedures for your market.
Return policy: Confirm seller return/exchange policies in case fitment is not as expected after a test-fit.
Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades
Several 2013 Ford Escape packages used different wheel and tire combinations. The values above include an 18x7.5 ET53 wheel and a 235/55R17 tire size seen on certain factory configurations. Your trim may differ. When changing sizes:
Plus sizing for style/handling: Increasing rim diameter typically requires lowering tire aspect ratio to keep overall diameter close to stock. Use the calculator to compare total diameter and clearances.
Wider wheels/tires: As width increases, offset often needs to move to maintain inner and outer clearance. Model changes carefully and verify on the vehicle.
Winter setups: Some owners choose a smaller-diameter wheel for taller sidewalls. Only do this if the wheel clears the brakes; verify with the calculator and a physical test-fit.
Ride and performance: Larger wheels with shorter sidewalls can sharpen handling but may add weight and reduce ride comfort. Monitor for rubbing at full lock and over bumps.
Installation Tips
Safely lift and support the vehicle on level ground. Never rely on a jack alone.
Clean the hub face and center bore. Remove rust so the wheel seats flush and runs true.
If using hub-centric rings, seat them fully on the hub before mounting the wheel.
Hand-thread M12 x 1.5 lug nuts to prevent cross-threading. Match lug seat style to wheel design.
Tighten in a star pattern. Use a torque wrench to the factory torque spec listed in your owner’s manual. Re-torque after 50–100 miles.
After installation, turn steering lock-to-lock and compress the suspension (drive slowly over a bump) to check for any rubbing.
If equipped, complete TPMS relearn/programming per OEM procedure.
What is the bolt pattern for the 2013 Ford Escape?
5x108.
Will 5x114.3 wheels fit my Escape?
No. The 2013 Escape uses 5x108. Adapters change offset and add complexity. For best safety and geometry, use 5x108 wheels that match the other fitment criteria.
What offset should I run?
Offset varies by wheel width and design. A known OEM reference on this page is ET 53 for a 7.5-inch wheel. Use this as a baseline in the calculator, then adjust and verify inner and outer clearances with your chosen width and a physical test-fit.
Do I need hub-centric rings?
If your aftermarket wheel’s center bore is larger than 63.4 mm, use rings with a 63.4 mm inner bore and the wheel’s outer bore size. If the wheel is already 63.4 mm, rings are not needed.
Will 18-inch wheels fit?
Some factory packages used 18-inch wheels (see values above). If your trim differs, verify brake clearance and fender room using the calculator and a test-fit before driving.
What tire size is stock?
235/55R17 is one known factory tire size listed on this page. Other trims may vary. Check your door-jamb tire label or owner’s manual to confirm your exact OEM size.
What is the lug nut torque?
This can vary by market and wheel type. Refer to your owner’s manual or OEM service information for the correct torque spec, and re-torque after 50–100 miles.
Methodology and sources
Wheel interchange depends on more than bolt pattern. Where data is available, this site compares recorded OEM values:
Bolt pattern / PCD
Center bore direction (donor wheel bore must not be smaller than the hub)
Wheel diameter, width, and offset against known OEM ranges
A normal wheel spacer does not change bolt pattern. Hub rings cannot enlarge a wheel bore that is smaller than the hub. Brake clearance and tire package fitment still require vehicle-specific checks when not confirmed in the dataset.
