2016 Ford F-150 Wheel Fitment Guide

Known OEM Fitment For 2016 Ford F-150

The following specifications are the known OEM fitment values supplied for the 2016 Ford F-150. They may vary by trim, package, drivetrain, brake configuration, or factory wheel option, so confirm your truck's original wheel and tire information before ordering.

Specification Known value
Bolt pattern 6x135
Center bore 87.1 mm
Thread size M14 x 1.5
Rim diameter 17 inches
Rim width 7.5 inches
Wheel offset ET44
Backspacing 5.48 inches
Known tire size 245/70R17
Tire section width 245 mm
Tire aspect ratio 70 percent

This page does not establish that every 2016 F-150 trim uses the same wheel package. Check the tire sidewall, door-jamb certification label, owner's documentation, or a Ford parts source for the exact equipment on your vehicle. Verify brake and suspension clearance whenever using a different wheel.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

Use the calculator to compare a donor vehicle's wheels with the wheels you plan to install on your 2016 Ford F-150. Enter the donor vehicle in the “Wheels from” field and your truck in the “Installed on” field. Review bolt pattern, center bore, wheel dimensions, and tire dimensions before treating a result as suitable.

The calculator also lets you enter a custom wheel size. Adjust rim diameter, rim width, and offset to model an aftermarket or alternate wheel. You can enter a custom tire section width and aspect ratio as well. When rim diameter changes, the calculator updates the tire diameter comparison, which helps identify changes in overall diameter.

A calculator result is a comparison aid, not a substitute for a physical test fit or vehicle-specific verification. Confirm inner clearance to the brake caliper, strut, control arms, steering components, and suspension. Also check outer clearance to the fender and confirm that the tire does not rub at full steering lock or through suspension travel.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

  • Confirm the wheel has the 6x135 bolt pattern.
  • Compare the wheel's center bore with the 87.1 mm vehicle hub specification. A smaller bore will not fit over the hub. A larger bore may require properly sized hub-centric rings where appropriate.
  • Check the wheel's diameter, width, and offset against the known 17 x 7.5 inch, ET44 reference specification.
  • Verify the wheel's load rating is suitable for your truck and intended use. The required rating is not provided here, so confirm it in Ford documentation and the wheel manufacturer's specifications.
  • Confirm tire size, load index, speed rating, and clearance. Do not select a tire using section width alone.
  • Check whether the wheel requires a particular lug-nut seat, thread engagement, or accessory hardware. The known thread size is M14 x 1.5, but the correct lug-nut design depends on the wheel.
  • Ask the seller for wheel width, offset, center bore, bolt pattern, load rating, and brake-clearance information if any measurement is missing.
  • Inspect used wheels for bends, cracks, corrosion around the bead seat, and damaged mounting holes.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

Plus sizing generally means using a larger rim diameter with a lower-profile tire while keeping overall tire diameter reasonably close to the original reference. The goal is to preserve speedometer behavior, gearing, ground clearance, and appropriate load capacity as closely as possible. No specific alternate size is confirmed for every 2016 F-150 trim in the supplied data, so use the calculator to compare custom dimensions rather than assuming a particular upgrade fits.

When changing wheel width or offset, compare both the inner and outer wheel position. A lower offset generally moves a wheel farther outward, while a higher offset generally moves it inward, but the final tire shape and clearance also depend on tire width, sidewall design, suspension condition, and alignment. Check the completed assembly at normal ride height and through steering and suspension movement.

Do not reduce tire load capacity or choose a wheel with an unknown load rating. Confirm the replacement tire's size, load index, and speed rating with the tire manufacturer and the vehicle's certification information.

Installation Tips

  • Clean the hub face and wheel mounting surface before installation. Remove rust, dirt, and loose debris without removing material from the hub.
  • Test-fit one front and one rear wheel before mounting all four. Check caliper, suspension, hub, and fender clearance.
  • Install the correct lug nuts for the replacement wheel. Do not assume the original lug nuts match an aftermarket wheel's seat.
  • Start all fasteners by hand and tighten them in a star or crisscross pattern.
  • Use the torque specification in the Ford service information or owner's documentation for your exact vehicle. Do not guess a torque value.
  • After lowering the vehicle, recheck torque with a calibrated torque wrench. Recheck the fasteners after the first short drive and follow the wheel manufacturer's instructions.
  • Check tire pressure using the vehicle placard as the starting reference, then follow the tire manufacturer's guidance for the selected tire.
  • After installation, confirm there is no rubbing during full-lock turns, reversing, braking, and suspension movement. Stop driving if a tire contacts a component.

Tools And Helpful Supplies

A calibrated torque wrench, correctly sized socket, jack and jack stands or an approved lift, wheel chocks, and a tire-pressure gauge are useful for safe wheel installation. Use equipment rated for the vehicle's weight and support the truck at approved lift points. A torque wrench can be found through Amazon's automotive torque wrench search.

A hub and wheel cleaning brush can help remove loose corrosion from mating surfaces. If you need wheel-lifting assistance, use a product designed for the wheel and vehicle rather than forcing a heavy assembly into position. Review the tool manufacturer's instructions and never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack.

FAQs

What is the bolt pattern for a 2016 Ford F-150?
The known bolt pattern supplied for this vehicle is 6x135. Confirm the specification for your exact trim and wheel package before purchase.

What is the center bore?
The known center bore is 87.1 mm. A replacement wheel must clear the vehicle hub. A smaller wheel bore will not install, while a larger bore may need an appropriate hub-centric solution.

What tire size is listed with the known OEM wheel data?
The supplied reference tire is 245/70R17, with a 245 mm section width, a 70 percent aspect ratio, and a 17-inch rim diameter. Other factory or replacement sizes may vary, so verify the vehicle placard and tire documentation.

Can I use wheels from another vehicle?
Only if the donor wheel meets all required conditions, including bolt pattern, center bore, diameter, width, offset, load rating, lug-nut compatibility, brake clearance, and tire compatibility. Use the wheel interchange calculator for the comparison, then confirm the physical fit.

Does a 6x135 wheel automatically fit?
No. Matching the bolt pattern alone does not confirm fitment. Center bore, offset, wheel width, brake clearance, load rating, tire dimensions, and correct mounting hardware must also be checked.

What does changing offset do?
Offset changes the wheel's position relative to the hub. It can affect inner suspension clearance and outer fender clearance. Enter the proposed diameter, width, and offset in the custom wheel fields, then physically check the installed assembly.

Can I install a larger rim diameter?
A larger rim diameter may be possible with a suitable lower-profile tire, but no universal upgrade is confirmed by the supplied information. Use the calculator to compare overall diameter and verify load capacity, brake clearance, tire clearance, and legal requirements before buying.

What lug-nut thread size is known for this vehicle?
The supplied thread size is M14 x 1.5. The thread size does not identify the correct lug-nut seat for every replacement wheel, so match the lug nuts to the wheel manufacturer’s specifications.

Methodology and sources

Wheel interchange depends on more than bolt pattern. Where data is available, this site compares recorded OEM values:

  • Bolt pattern / PCD
  • Center bore direction (donor wheel bore must not be smaller than the hub)
  • Wheel diameter, width, and offset against known OEM ranges
  • Lug thread / hardware differences (vehicle-side hardware)

A normal wheel spacer does not change bolt pattern. Hub rings cannot enlarge a wheel bore that is smaller than the hub. Brake clearance and tire package fitment still require vehicle-specific checks when not confirmed in the dataset.
