Lug nut patterns have been a critical part of every wheel hub, and Ford Fusion does not stay out of this golden rule.

As part of our beginner guides for Ford’s first-time drivers, today’s article will dig into all there is to know about the Ford Fusion bolt pattern.

What Wheels Fit In A Ford Fusion?

Wheels with rim sizes of 5.5 to 6 inches and 14-16 inches of rim diameters would fit in most Ford Fusion I models. Meanwhile, 6.5-8 inches rim sizes and 16-19 inches in diameter are more compatible with Fusion II. Refer to the spec list above for more info.

How to Find Out Ford Fusion Bolt Pattern? Bolt Circle Measurement

First, count the number of bolts (it should be 4 or 5, typical of Ford Fusion). For bolt pattern diameters, grab a ruler or measuring tape to calculate the gap from the outer nut hole to the center hole opposite it. Put an “x” between the number 4/5 and this measurement, and that is your wheel lug nut pattern!

For 5-lug bolt patterns (odd number), remember to choose the nearest bolt from the right or left and calculate the gap to its central spot.

Can you Fit A 5×112 Wheel Size On A Ford Fusion 5 x 108 Hub?

Yes, if you purchase adapters, redrill the hub with a torque wrench, or modify the custom offset range of aftermarket wheels. Still, major issue risks are at play, and one slight misstep in the bolt fitment might mess up the other hub components. To sidestep fitment issues, it would be best to consult professional help.

Conclusion

There are three different lug wheel bolt patterns in numerous vehicles of the Ford Fusion line – but overall, it is either a 4-lug or 5-lug-hole pattern. Identifying the correct specifications should not be difficult with a basic ruler or measuring tape.

Consult the manufacturer’s manual or write to me if there are any confusing parts about your model vehicle’s wheel and tire assembly.
