What other years of Ford Expedition EL have the same bolt pattern as the 2009?
The Ford Expedition EL uses the 6x135 pattern from 2007 through 2017. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 2009, provided the offset and center bore also match.
What does 44mm offset mean for the 2009 Expedition EL?
An offset of 44mm means the wheel's mounting surface is 44mm away from its centerline. Changing this value drastically can affect suspension geometry and wheel bearing wear on your Ford.
Can I use spacers on my 2009 Ford Expedition EL?
Yes, but ensure the wheel spacers match the 6x135 bolt pattern and 87.1mm center bore. Also verify that you have enough thread engagement for your 14x2.0 hardware.
What is the PCD for a 2009 Ford Expedition EL?
PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter, which is the same as the bolt pattern. For the 2009 Expedition EL, the PCD is 6x135.
Why is matching the 87.1mm center bore important for the 2009 Expedition EL?
The 87.1mm center bore ensures the wheel is perfectly centered on the hub. If the wheel is lug-centric instead of hub-centric, you may experience steering wheel vibration at highway speeds.
