Recorded vehicle-side thread for the 2018 Ford Fusion is M12x1.5. This donor year is recorded as M14x1.5. That is the vehicle stud/nut thread, not an intrinsic thread stamped on the wheel. Hardware must match this vehicle’s studs and the selected wheel’s seat and engagement. Existing hardware may be reusable if it already matches. Seat style is not in this dataset, so products are not a verified fit.

Known OEM Fitment For 2018 Ford Fusion
The values below are sourced from available OEM data for the 2018 Ford Fusion. Trims and option packages can vary. If a value on your vehicle differs, confirm it on your tire placard, in the owner’s manual, or by VIN at a Ford dealer. The rim and tire details listed appear to reference different factory packages, which is normal when multiple trims exist.

Notes:
The listed 18x8 ET55 wheel and the 215/60R16 tire indicate at least two distinct OEM packages. They are not from the same wheel-tire set.
Always verify the exact factory size on your driver’s door jamb label or by VIN. Then use the calculator on this page to compare potential donor wheels to your specific trim.
How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator
Open the calculator on this page.
In Wheels from (donor vehicle), enter the wheel and tire specs you are considering. If you know only the wheel, you can also select a Custom wheel size and Custom tire size.
In Installed on (your vehicle), select 2018 Ford Fusion or manually input your confirmed OEM specs from your tire placard or manual.
Adjust Custom wheel size to test rim diameter, width, and offset. Adjust Custom tire size to maintain overall diameter. When you change rim diameter, the tire diameter comparison updates automatically.
Review the clearance results for inner suspension, fender poke, and ride height changes. Ensure brake caliper and spoke clearance look acceptable.
If any value is unknown, stop and confirm via the OEM placard, service manual, or dealer VIN lookup before purchasing.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy
Bolt pattern: Must be 5x108 to match the 2018 Fusion hub.
Center bore: OEM hub is 63.4 mm. Aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore. Use hub-centric rings sized to 63.4 mm if the wheel bore is larger. A smaller bore will not fit.
Offset: Compare the donor wheel offset to the OEM ET 55 mm using the calculator. Large changes can affect inner strut clearance and outer fender poke.
Width: Wider wheels may contact struts, liners, or fenders. Validate inner and outer clearance in the calculator.
Brake clearance: Spoke shape and barrel design vary. Test-fit whenever possible and ensure caliper clearance.
Lug hardware: Thread is M14 x 1.5. Match the seat type to the wheel design. Do not mix conical, ball, or mag seats. Use proper shank depth if required.
Load rating: Wheel and tire load ratings must meet or exceed the vehicle’s GAWR. Check manufacturer data.
TPMS: Plan to transfer sensors or install compatible sensors. Relearn procedure depends on trim and market. Consult the owner’s manual.
Tire diameter: Keep overall diameter close to OEM so speedometer and ABS behavior remain normal. Use the calculator’s diameter comparison to verify.
Stud engagement: Ensure sufficient thread engagement with any new lug nuts or spacers. Do not use damaged or rusty hardware.
Spacers: If spacers are required, use hub-centric spacers that maintain a 63.4 mm hub pilot and correct shank length. Re-evaluate stud engagement and fender clearance.
Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades
Plus sizing means increasing rim diameter while choosing a tire with a lower aspect ratio so overall tire diameter remains close to stock. For example, moving from an OEM 16 inch package to a 17 or 18 inch package typically uses a shorter sidewall to maintain similar rolling diameter.
Start from the exact OEM size shown on your door jamb or owner’s manual. The 2018 Fusion had multiple factory wheel-tire packages.
Use the calculator to try plus-one or plus-two wheel diameters. Enter the new rim width and offset, then adjust tire section width and aspect ratio until overall diameter closely matches OEM.
Check inner clearance and outer poke after each change. Keep offset and width close to OEM to minimize rubbing risk.
Confirm load rating and speed rating at least equal to OEM.
Installation Tips
Safety first: Use a properly rated floor jack and jack stands on level ground.
Clean the hub face and center pilot with a wire brush. Remove rust and debris to prevent wheel wobble.
Dry-fit each wheel to check hub-centric seating and caliper clearance before mounting tires.
If using hub-centric rings, seat them fully on the wheel, then install onto the 63.4 mm hub.
Hand-start M14 x 1.5 lug nuts to avoid cross-threading. Match the lug seat to the wheel.
Tighten in a star pattern. Final torque should follow the OEM specification in your owner’s manual or service information.
Re-torque after the first short drive period. Recheck air pressure and TPMS operation.
Tools And Helpful Supplies

Torque wrench and 1/2 inch drive sockets
M14 x 1.5 lug nuts matched to your wheel seat type
Hub-centric rings for 63.4 mm hub if aftermarket wheels have a larger bore
What is the bolt pattern for the 2018 Ford Fusion?
The bolt pattern is 5x108.
What center bore does the 2018 Fusion use?
63.4 mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger bore, use hub-centric rings sized to 63.4 mm. A smaller bore will not fit.
What lug nut thread size does it use?
M14 x 1.5. Match the lug seat style to the wheel design.
Will 18 inch wheels fit my 2018 Fusion?
An 18x8 ET55 wheel appears in the known OEM data. Actual fitment can vary by trim and brakes. Confirm your factory specs on the tire placard or by VIN, then use the calculator to compare the 18 inch option to your exact vehicle.
What is the stock tire size?
One OEM tire listed is 215/60R16. The model year had multiple packages, so check your door jamb label to confirm your exact size.
Can I use wheels from another Ford or another brand?
Possibly, if the bolt pattern, center bore, offset, width, and brake clearance are compatible. Use the calculator’s Wheels from vs Installed on comparison and verify with a physical test-fit when possible.
Do I need new TPMS sensors?
You can transfer your existing sensors if compatible with the new wheels. Otherwise use compatible sensors and perform the relearn procedure specified by Ford.
What torque should I use on the lug nuts?
Refer to the 2018 Ford Fusion owner’s manual or Ford service information for the exact torque specification.
How close should my new tire diameter be to stock?
Keep overall diameter as close as possible to the OEM value to preserve speedometer and ABS behavior. Use the calculator to compare and choose a size that minimizes the difference.
If any value is unclear or differs on your vehicle, confirm it using the on-page calculator, your tire placard, owner’s manual, or an OEM VIN lookup before purchasing wheels or tires.
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
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.
