These are vehicle-year records whose recorded OEM ranges overlap this 2016 Ford Transit Connect. Overlap is not a guarantee that a specific wheel will install. Selected-wheel comparison is in the calculator below.
Evaluated 75 donor years. Listed 24 eligible overlaps (not all evaluated years are compatible). Showing all listed.
Years grouped because recorded compatibility evidence is equivalent. Each year keeps its own page.
Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change -3.18 mm, inner change -3.18 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.

Recorded vehicle-side thread for the 2016 Ford Transit Connect 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.

The following values are the available OEM fitment data for the 2016 Ford Transit Connect. Fitment can vary by trim, package, market, wheel design, and brake configuration, so confirm the vehicle-specific information before ordering wheels or tires.
| Specification | Known value |
|---|---|
| Bolt pattern, studs x PCD | 5x108 |
| Center bore | 63.4 mm |
| Thread size | M12 x 1.5 |
| Rim diameter | 17 inches |
| Rim width | 7.0 inches |
| Wheel offset | ET50, or 50 mm |
| Backspacing | 5.47 inches |
| Tire section width | 215 mm |
| Tire aspect ratio | 55 percent |
| Tire rim diameter | R16 |
There is an apparent diameter difference in the supplied data: the listed rim diameter is 17 inches, while the listed tire rim diameter is R16. These values may represent different wheel and tire configurations, or one value may not apply to every trim. Do not use the tire size as a final purchasing specification without checking the vehicle placard, owner documentation, the existing sidewall, and a Ford parts or service source for the exact vehicle.
The bolt pattern, center bore, thread size, offset, width, and backspacing should also be confirmed against the wheel manufacturer's specifications. A wheel that has the correct bolt pattern can still fail to clear the hub, brakes, suspension, or bodywork.
Use the calculator to compare a donor vehicle's wheels with the wheels installed on your 2016 Ford Transit Connect. Enter the donor vehicle in the “Wheels from” fields and enter the Transit Connect in the “Installed on” fields. Compare the bolt pattern, center bore, diameter, width, and offset before considering a wheel interchangeable.
Check every item below before ordering a wheel or tire package:
Plus sizing changes wheel diameter while using a lower-profile tire to keep the overall tire diameter reasonably close to the original configuration. It can change ride comfort, handling response, steering feel, tire cost, wheel damage risk, and speedometer behavior.
The available data includes a 17-inch rim specification and an R16 tire rim diameter, so the correct original configuration should be established before planning a plus-size conversion. Do not assume that a 17-inch wheel is an upgrade for every 2016 Transit Connect trim.
When evaluating a larger or wider wheel, use the calculator's custom wheel and tire fields to compare diameter, width, and offset. Then confirm the result with a physical clearance check and the wheel maker's application data. A calculator cannot verify brake clearance, spoke shape, tire bulge, suspension travel, or load rating for every design.
Changing offset moves the wheel inward or outward. A lower offset generally moves the wheel farther outward, while a higher offset generally moves it inward, but the final result depends on wheel width and design. Use the listed ET50 and 5.47-inch backspacing only as supplied reference values and verify them before purchase.
Useful equipment includes a vehicle-rated jack and jack stands, a properly sized socket, a calibrated torque wrench, a tire pressure gauge, wheel chocks, a wire brush for hub cleaning, and suitable gloves and eye protection.
See an automotive torque wrench and a digital tire pressure gauge if you need basic tools for wheel installation checks. Tool compatibility does not replace the vehicle manufacturer's torque and safety instructions.
What is the bolt pattern for the 2016 Ford Transit Connect?
The supplied fitment data lists a 5x108 bolt pattern. Confirm the exact trim and wheel application before purchase.
What is the center bore?
The supplied center bore is 63.4 mm. A wheel with a smaller bore will not fit over the hub. A larger bore may require correctly sized hub-centric rings if permitted by the wheel manufacturer.
What thread size is listed?
The supplied thread size is M12 x 1.5. Verify the required fastener seat and the correct fastener type for the selected wheel, because thread size alone does not confirm compatibility.
Can any 5x108 wheel fit this Transit Connect?
No. The bolt pattern is only one part of fitment. Center bore, wheel width, offset, backspacing, brake clearance, fastener seat, load rating, and tire clearance must also be correct.
Why does the supplied data show both a 17-inch rim and an R16 tire diameter?
Those entries describe different rim diameters and may represent different configurations, or one may not apply to every trim. Confirm the installed tire sidewall, door-jamb tire placard, owner documentation, and a Ford source before ordering replacement wheels or tires.
How do I compare donor wheels?
Enter the donor vehicle under “Wheels from” and the 2016 Ford Transit Connect under “Installed on.” Compare all available dimensions, then use the custom wheel and tire fields to evaluate proposed sizes. Physically verify brake and body clearance before driving.
Will changing wheel diameter affect tire diameter?
Yes. The calculator updates the tire diameter comparison when rim diameter changes. Select a tire size with suitable overall diameter, load rating, and clearance, then confirm the final specification with the tire manufacturer and vehicle documentation.
Where can I confirm the final OEM specification?
Check the vehicle's tire and loading information label, owner documentation, the existing wheel and tire markings, Ford service or parts information, and the wheel and tire manufacturers' application data. If these sources disagree, stop and resolve the discrepancy before purchase or installation.
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.
