What Wheel Lug Pattern Does Ford Use?


Ford utilizes a range of bolt patterns from 4-lug to 8-lug configurations across its vehicle lineup. 

The Mustang, Explorer, and Escape models frequently feature a 5x4.5" (5x114.3mm) bolt pattern. Similarly, the Transit Connect, Bronco Sport, Edge, Fiesta, and Fusion models commonly adopt the 5x4.25" (5x108mm) bolt pattern.

Larger vehicles require more lugs in a circle to distribute weight properly. The F-Series (F-150) and certain years of the Expedition are equipped with a 6x5.31" bolt pattern, reflecting their need for a broader wheelbase due to their size and heft. 

In the same manner, the 2020 Ford Ranger has a 6x5.5" pattern. Notably, the E-Series (E-250) from 2007-2014 stands out with its unique 8x6.5" pattern, underscoring the demand for more extensive support in these heftier vehicles.

Some vehicles, such as the Mustang, have maintained consistent bolt patterns over the years provided. In contrast, others, like the Fiesta and Fusion, have seen transitions or have different patterns for various model years.

I am looking to add dual wheels to my 2011 F250 6.7. How thick of an adaptor do I need ? and what offset wheels should I use?

Greetings. In order to install dual wheels on your 2011 Ford F-150, you will need 3" spacers and longer bolts. All the spacers you need are sold in kits - they are called Dual Rear Wheel Installation Kits. You can use stock wheels with an offset of 38-32. However, simply installing dual wheels is only a visual feature, and does not add any additional payload to your car. If you want to achieve all the benefits of dual rear wheels, we recommend replacing the entire rear axle. A Dana 70 from a Ford F-350 will do the trick. This will not only increase the durability of your truck but also simplify the process of installing dual wheels.
