Recorded vehicle-side thread for the 2018 Ford Escape is M12x1.5. This donor year is recorded as M14x1.5. 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 ≈ 5.18 mm – not a verified installation requirement.
A spacer of about 5.18 mm is a dataset suggestion only; clearance is not verified. Estimated outer position is about 5.18 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.
Only years with evidence-based interchange relationships are listed. Adjacent years are not assumed compatible.

Use this page to review the known wheel and tire fitment information for the 2018 Ford Escape and compare potential donor wheels or custom sizes. Fitment can vary by trim, package, market, brake equipment, and wheel design. Always confirm the vehicle label, owner’s manual, and wheel markings before purchasing or installing parts.
The following specifications are the known data provided for this 2018 Ford Escape. They are not a complete list of every factory configuration.
| Specification | Known value |
|---|---|
| Bolt pattern | 5x108 |
| Center bore | 63.4 mm |
| Thread size | M12 x 1.5 |
| Rim diameter | 18 inches |
| Rim width | 7.5 inches |
| Wheel offset | ET53 |
| Backspacing | 5.84 inches |
| Tire section width | 235 mm |
| Tire aspect ratio | 55 |
| Tire rim diameter | 17 inches |
There is an apparent diameter mismatch in the supplied data: the listed rim diameter is 18 inches, while the listed tire rim diameter is 17 inches. These may describe different configurations or separate wheel and tire records. Do not assume that a 235/55R17 tire belongs on an 18-inch wheel. Confirm the tire size printed on the vehicle, the tire sidewall, and the door-jamb certification label before ordering replacements.
The bolt pattern, center bore, thread size, offset, and backspacing must all be checked together. Matching only the 5x108 bolt pattern is not enough to establish safe fitment. No complete compatible-vehicle or donor-vehicle list is provided here, so use the calculator and verify donor specifications from the donor vehicle’s OEM documentation or wheel markings.
Use the calculator to compare Wheels from (donor vehicle) with Installed on (your vehicle). Enter the known specifications for the donor wheel and the 2018 Ford Escape, then review the dimensional comparison before buying.
If a specification is unknown, leave it identified as unknown and confirm it through the Ford owner’s manual, door-jamb label, service information, or the markings cast or stamped into the wheel. Do not enter a guessed value simply to produce a calculator result.
Plus sizing changes the wheel diameter while typically reducing tire sidewall height to maintain a similar overall tire diameter. The correct result depends on the vehicle’s confirmed original tire size, wheel width, clearance, load requirements, and speedometer tolerance.
The supplied data includes both an 18-inch rim diameter and a 17-inch tire rim diameter. Because those values do not describe the same tire and wheel assembly, do not select a plus-size combination from these fields alone. First confirm whether the vehicle currently uses a 17-inch or 18-inch package.
When comparing a custom setup, enter the proposed wheel diameter, width, and offset, then enter the complete proposed tire size. Review the calculator’s tire-diameter comparison and physically verify clearance. A wider tire or a lower offset can increase fender and liner contact risk, while a higher offset can reduce inner clearance.
Do not use spacers, adapters, or lower-profile tires to correct an uncertain fitment without confirming hub engagement, fastener engagement, load capacity, and clearance with a qualified wheel professional.
Useful equipment can include a calibrated torque wrench, correctly sized socket, jack stands, a floor jack, a tread-depth gauge, a tire-pressure gauge, and a straightedge or clearance gauge. A hub and wheel measurement tool can help confirm center-bore dimensions, but measurements should be checked against reliable OEM or wheel-manufacturer data.
Use only lifting equipment rated for the vehicle and follow the equipment manufacturer’s safety instructions. If you cannot confirm wheel load rating, brake clearance, fastener compatibility, or torque requirements, have the installation inspected by a qualified technician.
What is the bolt pattern listed for the 2018 Ford Escape?
The known bolt pattern provided for this page is 5x108. Confirm the wheel’s mounting pattern and hole condition before installation.
What center bore is listed?
The known center bore is 63.4 mm. A wheel bore that is smaller than the vehicle hub will not fit. A larger bore may need a properly sized hub-centric ring when suitable.
What lug thread size is listed?
The known thread size is M12 x 1.5. Thread size alone does not confirm lug-nut compatibility. Verify the lug seat style, shank or cap design if applicable, thread engagement, and torque specification.
Is the listed 235/55 tire size for a 17-inch or 18-inch wheel?
The supplied data lists a 235 mm section width, a 55 aspect ratio, and a 17-inch tire rim diameter, while it separately lists an 18-inch rim diameter. This is an apparent data mismatch or a combination of different configurations. Check the actual tire sidewall and the vehicle’s door-jamb label before ordering.
Can any 5x108 wheel fit this Ford Escape?
No. The bolt pattern is only one part of fitment. Center bore, offset, width, backspacing, brake clearance, wheel load rating, lug hardware, and tire size must also be compatible.
How can I compare donor wheels?
Enter the donor specifications under Wheels from (donor vehicle) and the confirmed Escape specifications under Installed on (your vehicle). Use the custom wheel and tire fields for alternatives, and verify all unknown values through OEM or wheel-manufacturer sources.
Does changing wheel diameter change tire diameter?
In the calculator, changing rim diameter updates the tire-diameter comparison. The replacement tire must have the same rim diameter as the wheel, and its overall diameter should be checked against the confirmed original specification.
Should I use the listed 18-inch wheel and 235/55R17 tire together?
No. A tire marked for a 17-inch rim cannot be mounted on an 18-inch wheel. Confirm the actual wheel and tire package before purchasing or mounting parts.
Wheel interchange depends on more than bolt pattern. Where data is available, this site compares recorded OEM values:
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.
