These are vehicle-year records whose recorded OEM ranges overlap this 2006 Ford Expedition. Overlap is not a guarantee that a specific wheel will install. Selected-wheel comparison is in the calculator below.
Evaluated 31 donor years. Listed 24 eligible overlaps (not all evaluated years are compatible). Showing all listed.
Years grouped because recorded compatibility evidence is equivalent. Each year keeps its own page.
Center-bore records disagree (target year-level hub 86.8 mm vs trim range 87.1–87.1 mm; donor year-level hub 86.8 mm vs trim range 87.1–87.1 mm). Unqualified overlap is not claimed until the conflict is resolved.
Years grouped because recorded compatibility evidence is equivalent. Each year keeps its own page.
Recorded vehicle-side thread for the 2006 Ford Expedition is M14x2.00. 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.
Donor width/offset sits outside the known OEM envelope for this vehicle. Recorded vehicle-side thread differs (M14x1.5 on the donor year vs M14x2.00 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.
Years grouped because recorded compatibility evidence is equivalent. Each year keeps its own page.
Center-bore records disagree (target year-level hub 86.8 mm vs trim range 87.1–87.1 mm; donor year-level hub 86.5 mm vs trim range 87.1–87.1 mm). Unqualified overlap is not claimed until the conflict is resolved.
Only years with evidence-based interchange relationships are listed. Adjacent years are not assumed compatible.

This page summarizes the supplied OEM wheel and tire fitment data for the 2006 Ford Expedition. Fitment can vary by trim, package, suspension, brake equipment, and replacement parts, so confirm the markings on your vehicle and compare against Ford service information before purchasing wheels or tires.
| Specification | Known value |
|---|---|
| Bolt pattern | 6x135 |
| Center bore | 87.1 mm |
| Thread size | M14 x 2.00 |
| Rim diameter | 17 inches |
| Rim width | 7.5 inches |
| Wheel offset | ET44, or 44 mm |
| Backspacing | 5.48 inches |
| Tire size data | 265 section width, 70 aspect ratio, R17 rim diameter |
The supplied tire dimensions correspond to a 265/70R17 size. Its calculated overall diameter is approximately 31.6 inches. The calculated diameter is an estimate based on the listed dimensions; the tire manufacturer's specifications can differ slightly.
These values are the known data provided for this page. They are not a complete list of every factory or aftermarket configuration. Confirm the original wheel and tire markings, door-jamb tire label, owner's manual, and current Ford parts or service information for your specific vehicle.
Use the calculator to compare a donor vehicle's wheels with the wheels installed on your 2006 Ford Expedition. Enter or select the donor vehicle in the “Wheels from” section, then select the 2006 Ford Expedition in the “Installed on” section.
Review the bolt pattern, center bore, wheel width, diameter, offset, and tire dimensions together. A matching bolt pattern alone does not prove that a wheel will fit. The wheel must also clear the hub, brake components, suspension, and bodywork, and it must have an appropriate load rating.
For a custom comparison, use the custom wheel fields for rim diameter, rim width, and offset. Use the custom tire fields for section width and aspect ratio. When you change the rim diameter, the calculator updates the tire diameter in the comparison. Treat the results as a screening tool, then physically verify clearance and consult OEM or wheel manufacturer documentation.
Verify the following details before ordering a wheel or tire package:
Plus sizing normally combines a larger rim diameter with a lower tire aspect ratio while attempting to keep the overall tire diameter close to the original. This can preserve approximate speedometer behavior and reduce the chance of major clearance changes, but it does not guarantee fitment.
When comparing an upgrade, use the calculator to enter the proposed rim diameter, rim width, offset, section width, and aspect ratio. Check the resulting diameter and compare the sidewall and tread position with the known 265/70R17 reference. A wider tire or a different offset can create inner suspension contact or outer fender contact even when the diameter is similar.
Do not select an upgrade solely because it matches 6x135. Confirm load capacity, brake clearance, hub fit, lug-seat compatibility, tire clearance, and the manufacturer's approved application for the exact vehicle and trim. The available data does not establish a universal list of compatible donor vehicles or upgrade sizes.
Before installation, clean the hub face and wheel mounting surface. Remove rust, dirt, paint buildup, and debris that could prevent the wheel from seating flat. Never use spacers, adapters, or hub rings as a substitute for correcting an incompatible bolt pattern or an undersized center bore.
Install the wheels with the correct lug hardware and hand-start every lug nut to avoid cross-threading. Tighten in a star or crisscross pattern, then use a calibrated torque wrench to apply the vehicle or wheel manufacturer's specified torque. The correct torque value is not provided here, so confirm it in the owner's manual, Ford service information, or the wheel manufacturer's instructions.
After installation, check for clearance with the steering at full lock and, where safe, through the suspension's normal movement. Set tire pressure according to the vehicle's tire-information label, not the maximum pressure molded on the tire. Recheck lug torque after the initial driving period specified by the wheel manufacturer and address any vibration, rubbing, pulling, or air loss immediately.
Useful supplies include a calibrated torque wrench, a socket that matches the lug hardware, a reliable tire-pressure gauge, a tread-depth gauge, a wire brush for cleaning hub surfaces, and a small flashlight for inspecting clearance. If the selected wheel has a larger center bore, use hub-centric rings sized by the wheel and vehicle hub manufacturers.

The supplied OEM fitment data lists a 6x135 bolt pattern. Confirm the vehicle and wheel documentation before ordering because a matching pattern does not verify complete fitment.
The known center bore is 87.1 mm. A replacement wheel with a smaller center bore will not fit over the hub. A larger bore may need properly sized hub-centric rings if required by the wheel design.
The supplied data lists a 17 x 7.5 inch wheel with ET44 offset and 5.48 inch backspacing. Trim-level and equipment differences should be checked against the vehicle's original wheel markings and OEM records.
The supplied tire dimensions are 265/70R17. The calculated overall diameter is approximately 31.6 inches, but actual dimensions vary by tire model and manufacturer.
No. The wheel also needs suitable center-bore dimensions, offset, width, brake clearance, load rating, and compatible lug hardware. Check the calculator, wheel manufacturer data, and physical clearance before purchase.
A different offset changes the wheel's position relative to the suspension and fender. Use the custom wheel fields in the calculator to compare the proposed offset, then verify inner and outer clearance in person. The calculator cannot replace a physical inspection.
Yes. A different rim diameter requires a tire with the matching rim diameter. Use the custom tire fields to compare section width, aspect ratio, and calculated overall diameter. Also confirm the tire's load and speed ratings.
The known thread size is M14 x 2.00, but thread size alone does not identify the correct lug nut. The lug seat shape, shank design, washer requirements, wheel thickness, and manufacturer specifications must also match. Never force incompatible lug hardware.
It can be. Replacement wheels and tires may require compatible tire-pressure sensors, sensor service kits, or a relearn procedure. Confirm the correct system and procedure for the specific vehicle before driving.
Check the vehicle's tire-information label, owner's manual, original wheel markings, Ford service information, and the replacement wheel and tire manufacturers' application guides. Use the on-page calculator for comparison, not as the sole approval for a safety-critical installation.
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.
