Use this guide to review the known wheel and tire fitment information for a 2013 Ford Taurus. The data below may be partial or may vary by trim, package, or replacement-wheel configuration. Always confirm the vehicle label, owner’s manual, wheel markings, and current OEM parts information before purchasing.
| Specification | Known value | Important note |
|---|---|---|
| Bolt pattern | 5x114.3 | Five studs on a 114.3 mm pitch circle diameter. |
| Center bore | 63.4 mm | Confirm whether an aftermarket wheel uses the correct bore or requires an appropriate hub-centric ring. |
| Thread size | M12 x 1.5 | Confirm lug nut thread and seat style before installation. |
| Rim diameter | 18 inches | May vary by trim or wheel package. |
| Rim width | 8.0 inches | Verify the marking cast or stamped on the wheel. |
| Wheel offset | ET39 | Offset affects inner clearance, outer poke, steering feel, and suspension clearance. |
| Backspacing | 5.54 inches | Check this value against the wheel’s actual width and offset. Backspacing measurements can vary depending on how they are taken. |
| Tire section width | 235 mm | This is the nominal tire width, not the exact measured tread width. |
| Tire aspect ratio | 60 | Sidewall height is 60 percent of the tire section width. |
| Tire rim diameter | 17 inches | This conflicts with the 18-inch rim diameter listed above. Confirm the correct tire and wheel size for the specific vehicle and trim before ordering. |
Because the supplied data lists both an 18-inch rim and a 17-inch tire rim diameter, do not assume that 235/60R17 is the correct tire size for every 2013 Ford Taurus. Read the tire sidewall, inspect the wheel marking, check the vehicle tire-information label, and verify the trim-specific information through Ford or another reliable OEM parts source.
Use the on-page calculator to compare wheels from a donor vehicle with wheels installed on your 2013 Ford Taurus. Enter the donor wheel diameter, width, and offset, then enter the Taurus values you are comparing against. The calculator can show how the proposed wheel changes inner clearance and outer position, but it does not replace a physical clearance check.
If a calculator result differs from a vehicle label or OEM source, treat the vehicle-specific source and direct measurements as controlling. Unknown trim information should be confirmed before purchase.
Plus sizing usually means fitting a larger wheel diameter with a lower-profile tire while keeping the overall tire diameter reasonably close to the verified original configuration. The correct target cannot be determined from the partial data alone because the supplied information includes both 17-inch and 18-inch rim references.
Use the calculator to compare custom wheel diameter, width, and offset, then enter the proposed tire section width and aspect ratio. Review the change in overall diameter, sidewall height, inner clearance, and outer position. A wider wheel or tire may improve appearance or handling but can increase the risk of rubbing, road-impact damage, steering effort, and reduced ride comfort.
Do not choose a tire solely because its diameter appears close. Confirm that the tire is approved for the wheel width, fits inside the wheel well through the full steering range, and meets the vehicle’s load and speed requirements. The final tire size should be confirmed against OEM guidance and the tire manufacturer’s fitment data.
Useful supplies may include a calibrated torque wrench, a suitable socket, a tire-pressure gauge, a tread-depth gauge, a straightedge or ruler for clearance checks, and hub-cleaning tools. A wheel installation should be performed on a stable surface with the vehicle properly supported by rated jack stands. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
What is the bolt pattern for the 2013 Ford Taurus?
The known bolt pattern provided for the 2013 Ford Taurus is 5x114.3. Confirm the vehicle configuration and wheel specifications before ordering.
What is the center bore?
The known center bore is 63.4 mm. An aftermarket wheel with a larger bore may require correctly sized hub-centric rings, while a wheel with a smaller bore will not fit over the hub.
What lug thread size is listed?
The supplied thread size is M12 x 1.5. Confirm the lug nut seat style and the vehicle-specific torque specification before installation.
Is the correct wheel size 17 or 18 inches?
The supplied information lists an 18-inch rim diameter but also lists a 17-inch tire rim diameter. This is an unresolved conflict, not a confirmed universal fitment. Check the door-jamb label, tire sidewall, wheel markings, owner’s manual, and OEM parts sources for the specific Taurus trim.
Can I use any 5x114.3 wheel?
No. Matching the bolt pattern is only one part of fitment. You must also verify center bore, wheel width, offset, brake clearance, lug nut seat, load rating, tire size, and clearance through the full steering and suspension range.
How can I compare a custom wheel?
Use the on-page calculator’s Custom wheel size fields to enter diameter, width, and offset. Enter the proposed tire section width and aspect ratio in the custom tire fields. Review the calculated changes, then physically test-fit the wheel and confirm manufacturer specifications.
Does a larger wheel always increase tire diameter?
No. A larger wheel can be paired with a lower-profile tire, producing a similar overall tire diameter. In the calculator, changing rim diameter updates the tire diameter comparison, but the final tire size still must be checked against OEM and tire manufacturer guidance.
Do I need wheel spacers?
Do not assume spacers are required or safe. First confirm whether the proposed wheel clears the brakes, suspension, and fenders at its specified offset. If spacers are considered, use only properly rated, vehicle-appropriate components and follow their installation instructions.
Wheel interchange depends on more than bolt pattern. Where data is available, this site compares recorded OEM values:
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.
