2014 Ford F-150 Wheel Interchange And Fitment Guide
Use this guide and the on-page wheel interchange calculator to compare donor wheels, custom wheel sizes, and custom tire sizes for a 2014 Ford F-150. The specifications below are the known OEM fitment values provided for this page. Actual fitment can vary by trim, package, brake equipment, suspension, and wheel design, so confirm the vehicle door-jamb label, owner’s manual, Ford parts information, and the markings on the wheel before purchasing.

These values should be treated as a reference configuration, not as a complete list of every wheel or tire offered on every 2014 F-150 trim. A wheel must match the bolt pattern, clear the hub and brakes, provide suitable load capacity, and maintain safe tire clearance. The center bore is important for hub location, while the wheel’s bolt seating and lug hardware must also be correct.
How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator
Start with the comparison fields labeled “Wheels from” and “Installed on.” Select the donor vehicle in the first field and the 2014 Ford F-150 in the vehicle field where the wheels will be installed. Review the displayed bolt pattern, center bore, wheel dimensions, offset, and tire information.
Use “Custom wheel size” when you know the exact rim diameter, rim width, or offset of a wheel that is not listed as a vehicle configuration. Use “Custom tire size” to enter the tire section width and aspect ratio. The calculator updates tire diameter when the rim diameter changes, helping you compare the overall size rather than looking only at the wheel diameter.
- Compare the donor bolt pattern with 6x135.
- Check the donor center bore against 87.1 mm and determine whether a properly engineered hub-centric solution is needed. Do not use unsafe improvised spacers or hardware.
- Compare rim width and offset with the known 7.5-inch, ET44 reference.
- Review the calculated tire diameter and width for clearance and speedometer considerations.
- Verify results against the physical wheel markings and an OEM source before ordering.
A calculator comparison is a screening tool. It cannot confirm brake-caliper clearance, spoke clearance, suspension clearance, fender clearance, wheel load rating, tire load index, or the condition of a used wheel.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy
- Confirm the truck’s exact trim, drivetrain, axle configuration, brake package, and factory tire information.
- Confirm the 6x135 bolt pattern. A wheel with a different pattern is not made compatible by changing lug nuts.
- Confirm the 87.1 mm hub relationship and the wheel’s center bore. A larger bore may require correctly specified hub-centric rings, while a smaller bore will not fit over the hub.
- Confirm the required M14 x 2.00 thread size and use lug nuts with the correct seat type for the wheel.
- Check the wheel’s load rating. It must be appropriate for the truck and its intended cargo or towing use.
- Measure brake, suspension, and fender clearance with the actual wheel and tire combination. Nominal offset alone does not guarantee spoke clearance.
- Inspect used wheels for cracks, bends, corrosion around the bead seat, damaged lug holes, and air leaks.
- Confirm the replacement tire’s load index, speed rating, construction, and approved rim-width range.
- Check that the tire does not contact the control arm, strut, brake line, frame, inner fender, or outer fender through the full steering and suspension range.
- Verify the final tire pressure using the vehicle placard, not the maximum pressure molded into the tire sidewall.
Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades
Plus sizing changes the wheel diameter while attempting to keep the overall tire diameter close to the original. For example, moving from a 17-inch rim to a larger rim requires a lower-profile tire, but the correct replacement size cannot be selected from rim diameter alone. Enter the proposed wheel and tire dimensions in the calculator, then verify load capacity, clearance, and manufacturer recommendations.
A wider wheel or a different offset can move the tire inward toward suspension components or outward toward the fender. A smaller positive offset generally moves the wheel outward, while a larger positive offset generally moves it inward, but spoke shape and wheel width also affect clearance. Do not assume that a wheel with the correct 6x135 pattern will fit.
There is no complete compatible-vehicle or upgrade list provided for this page. Use the calculator to test a specific donor vehicle or custom dimension, and confirm the result with OEM wheel information, the wheel manufacturer’s fitment data, and a physical clearance check.
Installation Tips
- Clean the hub face and wheel mounting surface before installation. Remove rust and debris without removing material that affects wheel seating.
- Confirm that the wheel sits fully against the hub and that the lug nuts engage the required thread length.
- Use only lug nuts with the correct thread, seat style, and dimensions for the wheel. Do not assume the vehicle’s original lug nuts fit an aftermarket or donor wheel.
- Install lug nuts finger-tight, then tighten in a star or crisscross sequence with a calibrated torque wrench to the vehicle or wheel manufacturer’s specification.
- Do not lubricate lug threads unless the manufacturer specifically instructs you to do so, because lubrication changes the clamping force produced by a given torque.
- After installation, check for interference with the steering fully turned in both directions and with the suspension loaded where practical.
- Recheck lug torque after the first short drive and again according to the wheel manufacturer’s instructions.
- Stop driving if you notice vibration, rubbing, loss of tire pressure, loose hardware, or unusual handling.
Tools And Helpful Supplies
Useful supplies may include a calibrated torque wrench, a socket that matches the lug nuts, a tire-pressure gauge, a tread-depth gauge, a straightedge or clearance gauge, and a wire brush for cleaning the hub face. A hub bore gauge or accurate caliper can help verify wheel measurements, but measurements should be confirmed with the wheel manufacturer when safety-critical dimensions are uncertain.
Shop automotive torque wrenches on Amazon or shop digital tire-pressure gauges on Amazon. Product suitability, accuracy, and compatibility should be checked before purchase.
FAQs
What is the bolt pattern for a 2014 Ford F-150?
The known bolt pattern for this page is 6x135. Confirm the pattern on the vehicle and the wheel before installation.
What is the center bore?
The known center bore is 87.1 mm. A wheel with a smaller bore will not fit over the hub. A larger bore may require correctly sized hub-centric rings if specified by the wheel manufacturer.
What wheel size is listed for this fitment?
The known reference wheel is 17 inches in diameter and 7.5 inches wide, with an ET44 offset and 5.48-inch backspacing.
What tire size is listed?
The known reference tire size is 255/70R17. Other sizes may vary by trim or use, so enter a proposed custom size in the calculator and verify the tire maker’s load and rim-width requirements.
Can any 6x135 wheel fit this truck?
No. The bolt pattern is only one requirement. Center bore, offset, width, spoke and brake clearance, lug-seat design, wheel load rating, and tire clearance must also be correct.
Can I use a wheel with a different offset?
A different offset changes the wheel’s inward and outward position. It may create suspension, brake, or fender interference, so compare the exact offset in the calculator and perform a physical clearance check before driving.
Do I need hub-centric rings?
That depends on the wheel’s center bore and the manufacturer’s installation requirements. Rings cannot correct an incorrect bolt pattern, unsafe wheel design, insufficient load rating, or inadequate clearance.
Will changing rim diameter change tire diameter?
The calculator updates tire diameter when the rim diameter changes. To maintain a similar overall diameter, the tire aspect ratio usually must change, but the final size must still meet clearance, load, and manufacturer requirements.
Where can I confirm the original equipment specifications?
Check the vehicle certification or tire-information label, owner’s manual, Ford parts and service information, and the markings on the original wheel. If those sources conflict, pause the installation and obtain confirmation from Ford or a qualified wheel and tire professional.
