Ford Maverick Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide: Bolt Pattern, Offset & Tire Sizes

Wheels and tires are the single most impactful — and most miscalculated — upgrade on a Ford Maverick. Get the fitment numbers right and the truck transforms; get them wrong and you’re eating rubbed liners, thrown-off speedometers, worn wheel bearings, or a set of expensive wheels that won’t clear the brakes. This guide gives you every factory spec and the practical limits, then points you to new wheels and tires on Amazon and used or take-off wheels on eBay Motors.

The three numbers that never change

Every Maverick — 2022 through the 2025 refresh, every trim and both engines — shares the same wheel mounting hardware:

• Bolt pattern: 5x108mm (5x4.25”)
• Center bore: 63.4mm
• Lug studs: M12 x 1.5

That’s the good news: a wheel that mounts on one Maverick mounts on all of them. Because the pattern is a metric 5x108 — not the 5x114.3 that dominates the aftermarket — double-check that any wheel or spacer is actually listed for 5x108 before you buy. A 5x114.3 wheel will not bolt on.

If you run aftermarket wheels with a larger center bore, use hub-centric rings to fill the gap down to 63.4mm. Lug-centric mounting alone on a hub bore that’s too large is the classic cause of a steering-wheel shimmy that no balancing will fix.

Factory wheel and tire sizes

Two things worth noting. First, offset is +37.5mm across the board — moderate, not aggressive. Second, the 17-inch and 18-inch setups are nearly identical in overall height, so swapping between them barely touches your speedometer. That’s why off-road-leaning builds go down to a 17-inch wheel: same diameter, but far more sidewall to air down and absorb trail hits.

Offset, backspacing, and stance

Offset is how far the mounting face sits from the wheel’s centerline. The Maverick’s +37.5mm is a positive offset that tucks the wheel in slightly. Move to a lower offset (say +30 or below) and the wheel pushes outward — a wider, more planted stance and better flare fill, at the cost of more stress on the wheel bearing and a higher chance of rubbing the inner liner at full lock or full compression.

Practical guidance for the Maverick:

• Stay in the +30 to +45mm window for a bolt-on, no-drama setup.
• Pushing much below +30mm usually wants fender flares to legally and cleanly cover the wider track — and to keep road spray off the paint.
• Add rear wheel splash shields when you widen the stance or run more aggressive tread; the extra track throws more mud and stone chips at the rockers.

Wheel spacers achieve a similar outboard look without new wheels, but they’re a commitment: buy hub-centric, quality spacers, use the correct extended studs or bolts, and re-torque them. Cheap slip-on spacers are not worth the risk on a daily-driven truck.

How far can you upsize tires?

Tire clearance is a system — wheel diameter, width, offset, suspension height, and trim all interact — so treat these as starting points, not guarantees:

• Stock suspension: one size up is the safe zone — roughly 235/65R17 or 245/60R18. Most owners run this with no rubbing.
• With a leveling kit or small lift: you open the door to a taller all-terrain in the ~29–30 inch range. See the Maverick Lift Kit Buyer’s Guide for how height, offset, and tire size have to be planned together.
• Beyond that: you’re into fender trimming, careful offset selection, and real-world test-fitting. There’s no substitute for checking clearance at full lock and full compression.

Whatever you land on, keep overall diameter close to stock unless you’re prepared to correct the speedometer — a much taller tire reads slow and throws off the odometer and driver aids.

Don’t forget the small parts

A wheel and tire swap is only as good as the hardware:

• Lug nuts: confirm M12x1.5 and the correct seat type (conical vs. the factory style) for your wheels.
• TPMS sensors: the Maverick is TPMS-equipped, so a second set of wheels needs sensors to clear the dash warning.
• Hub-centric rings: match your wheel’s bore down to 63.4mm.
• Alignment: any offset or ride-height change deserves a fresh alignment to protect the new tires.

How to buy

• New wheels, tires, spacers, and TPMS sensors: Amazon Automotive — see the wheels & tires and related parts above.
• Used, OEM, and factory take-off wheels (Lariat 18s, Tremor 17s, and full sets pulled from new trucks): eBay Motors, via the search buttons above. Take-off wheels are one of the best values on the platform — genuine Ford wheels at a fraction of new, in the exact 5x108 / 63.4mm / +37.5mm spec, so fitment is guaranteed.

Measure, confirm against your exact trim and model year, and match the offset — do that, and a wheel-and-tire setup is the upgrade every Maverick owner remembers.
