These are vehicle-year records whose recorded OEM ranges overlap this 2018 Ford Taurus. Overlap is not a guarantee that a specific wheel will install. Selected-wheel comparison is in the calculator below.
Evaluated 85 donor years. Listed 24 eligible overlaps (not all evaluated years are compatible). Showing all listed.
Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change -4 mm, inner change 4 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.
Years grouped because recorded compatibility evidence is equivalent. Each year keeps its own page.
Center-bore records disagree (donor year-level hub 66.7 mm vs trim range 63.4–63.4 mm). Unqualified overlap is not claimed until the conflict is resolved. Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change -4 mm, inner change 4 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.

Center-bore records disagree (donor year-level hub 63.3 mm vs trim range 63.4–63.4 mm). Unqualified overlap is not claimed until the conflict is resolved. Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change -7.35 mm, inner change -5.35 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.
Recorded vehicle-side thread for the 2018 Ford Taurus is 1/2"-20UNF. This donor year is recorded as M12x1.5. 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.
Donor width/offset sits outside the known OEM envelope for this vehicle. Recorded vehicle-side thread differs (M12x1.5 on the donor year vs 1/2"-20UNF on the target vehicle). Hardware must match the target vehicle’s studs and the selected wheel’s seat. Existing hardware may be reusable if it already matches. Seat style is not confirmed in this dataset.

The specifications below are the known reference values supplied for the 2018 Ford Taurus. Fitment can vary by trim, package, market, replacement wheel, or tire configuration, so confirm the vehicle-specific information before ordering parts.
| Specification | Known value |
|---|---|
| Bolt pattern | 5x108 |
| Center bore | 63.4 mm |
| Thread size | M12 x 1.5 |
| Rim diameter | 18 inches |
| Rim width | 8.0 inches |
| Wheel offset | ET39, or 39 mm |
| Backspacing | 5.54 inches |
| Tire section width | 235 mm |
| Tire aspect ratio | 60% |
| Tire rim diameter input | 17 inches |
The supplied rim diameter is 18 inches, while the supplied tire rim diameter input is 17 inches. These values should not be treated as one complete wheel and tire specification. Confirm the correct wheel diameter and tire size for your exact Taurus using the driver-door certification label, owner documentation, and the tire sidewall. A tire must match the diameter of the wheel on which it is mounted.
Use the calculator to compare a donor vehicle's wheels with the wheels installed on your 2018 Ford Taurus. Enter or select the donor vehicle under “Wheels from” and your Taurus under “Installed on.” Review the bolt pattern, center bore, wheel dimensions, offset, and tire measurements together rather than relying on a single matching value.
Calculator results indicate dimensional compatibility only. They do not guarantee brake clearance, fender clearance, suspension clearance, correct tire load capacity, or legal compliance.
Plus sizing generally changes wheel diameter while selecting a lower-profile tire to keep overall tire diameter near the original target. The correct result depends on the exact original tire specification, which is not fully provided here. Use the calculator's custom wheel and tire fields to compare candidate combinations and review the resulting tire diameter.
A wider wheel or tire can alter inner clearance, outer fender clearance, steering feel, ride comfort, road-noise levels, and impact protection. A lower-profile tire may reduce sidewall flex but can be more vulnerable to pothole damage. Do not select a size solely because it fits the wheel physically. Confirm the tire manufacturer's approved rim-width range and the vehicle's required load and speed ratings.
For any proposed upgrade, compare the custom offset and width with the known ET39 and 8.0-inch reference values. A change in offset moves the wheel inward or outward, so clearance must be checked in both directions. Do not assume that a wheel from another vehicle is safe simply because its bolt pattern matches.
Have wheels and tires installed by a qualified technician, especially when changing wheel width, offset, tire diameter, or hardware. Clean the hub and wheel mounting faces before installation so the wheel seats flush.
Useful supplies for a careful wheel installation include a calibrated torque wrench, the correct socket, a tire-pressure gauge, a tread-depth gauge, a hub and mounting-surface brush, and a means of checking wheel clearance. Confirm the required torque and hardware specifications from Ford or the wheel manufacturer before work begins.

The supplied known bolt pattern is 5x108. Confirm the specification for your exact vehicle and replacement wheel before purchase.
The supplied center bore is 63.4 mm. A replacement wheel with a smaller center bore will not fit over the hub. A larger bore may need correctly sized hub-centric rings when appropriate.
The supplied thread size is M12 x 1.5. The thread specification alone does not identify the correct lug nut seat, length, or final torque, so verify the complete hardware requirement.
The supplied reference lists an 18-inch diameter, 8.0-inch width, and ET39 offset, with 5.54-inch backspacing. Because wheel specifications can vary by trim or package, confirm the installed wheel and the vehicle label before ordering.
Those are separate supplied inputs that do not form one confirmed wheel and tire combination. Verify the actual tire sidewall and the vehicle certification label. In the calculator, make sure the custom tire's rim diameter matches the wheel diameter being evaluated.
No. Bolt pattern is only one part of fitment. Center bore, offset, width, backspacing, brake clearance, lug hardware, load rating, and tire compatibility must also be checked.
Yes. Select the donor and installed vehicle fields, then adjust custom rim diameter, width, and offset. You can also adjust tire section width and aspect ratio. Review the tire diameter after changing rim diameter and confirm the results with physical clearance checks.
Not necessarily. A larger wheel with a suitable tire may change steering response, but it can also reduce ride comfort and increase impact risk. Use only a wheel and tire combination with adequate load capacity, approved dimensions, and safe clearance.
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.
