Ford Transit bolt pattern — frequently asked
What is the Ford Transit bolt pattern?
5x160, which is 5x6.3 in inches, on every Transit generation in our database (2015–2026).
Do all Transit model years have the same bolt pattern?
Yes, across 2015–2026: 5x160. But stud thread or lug torque differs between generations or trims, so match your year and trim before buying nuts or torquing wheels. Years outside 2015–2026 are not in our database and are not covered by this answer.
Is the Ford Transit 5x160 pattern the same as 5x6.3?
Yes. 5x160 is the metric notation and 5x6.3 the inch notation of the same bolt pattern (160 mm ÷ 25.4). Every vehicle on it is listed on the 5x160 pattern page.
Which other vehicles use the same 5x160 bolt pattern as the Transit?
No other vehicle in our database uses 5x160 yet.
What is the lug nut torque for a Ford Transit?
2020-2026 5-lug (single rear wheel, standard front axle): 150 lb-ft; 2015-2019 5-lug (single rear wheel): 148 lb-ft. Use a torque wrench and the manufacturer figure for your exact year; aftermarket wheels may specify their own.
