Recorded vehicle-side thread for the 2017 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 specifications below are the known fitment data supplied for the 2017 Ford Transit Connect. Equipment can vary by trim, package, market, wheel, and tire configuration, so confirm the information on your vehicle before ordering replacement wheels or tires.
| Specification | Known value |
|---|---|
| Bolt pattern | 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 listed in the supplied data | R16 |
There is an apparent size mismatch in the supplied information: the wheel diameter is listed as 17 inches, while the tire rim diameter is listed as R16. A 215/55R16 tire is designed for a 16-inch wheel and cannot be mounted on a 17-inch wheel. Treat these values as a verification point rather than assuming that both describe one factory wheel and tire assembly. Check the tire sidewall, the driver-door placard, the owner’s manual, and Ford parts information for the exact configuration on your Transit Connect.
The 5x108 bolt pattern means five wheel fasteners are arranged on a 108 mm pitch circle diameter. The replacement wheel must also provide appropriate hub clearance, load capacity, brake clearance, thread engagement, and offset. Matching the bolt pattern alone does not establish safe fitment.
Use the on-page calculator to compare Wheels from a donor vehicle with Installed on your 2017 Ford Transit Connect. Enter the donor vehicle and select the Transit Connect as the vehicle receiving the wheels. Review the calculated differences in wheel diameter, width, offset, tire dimensions, and overall tire diameter.
You can also select Custom wheel size to enter a wheel’s rim diameter, rim width, and offset. Use Custom tire size to enter the tire section width and aspect ratio. When you change rim diameter, the calculator updates the tire diameter comparison, which helps you evaluate the effect of a proposed wheel and tire combination.
Use the calculator as a comparison and screening tool, not as a substitute for physical inspection or Ford documentation. Confirm the exact donor wheel specifications, including the stamped offset, wheel load rating, center bore, brake clearance, and fastener requirements. A result that appears dimensionally close may still be unsuitable if the wheel contacts the suspension, brake parts, bodywork, or hub.
Before purchasing wheels or tires, compare every important dimension with the original equipment specification for your specific vehicle.
Ford documentation and the vehicle placard should take priority if they differ from a catalog or calculator entry. The wheel marking, tire sidewall, and vehicle identification information can help a Ford dealer or qualified tire professional confirm the correct specification.
Plus sizing generally means fitting a larger-diameter wheel with a lower-profile tire while keeping the overall tire diameter reasonably close to the original. The goal is to preserve speedometer behavior, vehicle clearance, and handling geometry while changing appearance or response.
For this Transit Connect, do not assume a particular plus-size combination is approved from the supplied data alone. The known entries include a 17-inch wheel specification and a separate R16 tire-rim entry, so the original assembly must be identified first. Enter the proposed wheel diameter, width, and offset in the calculator, then enter the complete tire size and compare the calculated overall diameter.
A wider wheel or tire can reduce sidewall clearance and increase the chance of contact with the strut, suspension arms, mud flaps, or fenders. A lower offset moves the wheel outward, while a higher offset moves it inward. Either change can create clearance problems. Also check that the replacement tire provides adequate load capacity for passenger and cargo requirements.
Do not use spacers, adapters, or stretched tires to correct an uncertain fitment without professional verification. These changes can affect fastener engagement, hub loading, wheel clearance, and legal compliance.
Install wheels on clean, dry hub and wheel mounting surfaces. Remove rust, dirt, and loose paint from the mating surfaces without damaging the hub. Never use excessive lubricant on wheel studs or threads unless the vehicle or fastener manufacturer specifically requires it, because lubrication can change the resulting clamping force.
Start each fastener by hand to avoid cross-threading. Tighten the fasteners in a star or crisscross sequence, then torque them to the Ford specification for the exact vehicle and wheel installation. The required torque value is not provided here, so confirm it through the owner’s manual, Ford service information, or a qualified technician.
After lowering the vehicle, recheck the torque with a calibrated torque wrench. Recheck the wheel fasteners after the first driving period recommended by the wheel or vehicle manufacturer, and inspect for looseness, vibration, or rubbing. Stop driving if a wheel vibrates, loses pressure, makes contact, or shows signs of movement.
Basic wheel service normally requires a suitable jack, correctly rated jack stands, a wheel chock, a socket that fits the fasteners, and a calibrated torque wrench. A tire pressure gauge and an air source are useful for setting pressure to the vehicle placard value after installation.
For vehicle-specific torque procedures and safe lifting points, use Ford service information or the owner’s manual. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
What is the bolt pattern for the 2017 Ford Transit Connect?
The supplied bolt pattern is 5x108. Confirm the wheel has five mounting holes arranged for a 108 mm pitch circle diameter.
What center bore is listed for this Transit Connect?
The supplied center bore is 63.4 mm. A replacement wheel with a smaller bore will not fit over the hub. A larger bore may need correctly sized hub-centric rings if the wheel manufacturer permits their use.
What wheel offset is listed?
The supplied reference offset is ET50, or 50 mm, with a listed 7.0-inch wheel width. Offset affects inner suspension clearance and outer fender position, so compare the exact replacement wheel in the calculator and verify it physically.
Does a 215/55R16 tire fit a 17-inch wheel?
No. The R16 designation means the tire is made for a 16-inch rim. It cannot be installed on a 17-inch wheel. The supplied data contains both a 17-inch wheel entry and an R16 tire entry, so verify the actual factory assembly before ordering.
Can I use wheels from another vehicle with a 5x108 bolt pattern?
Not automatically. The donor wheel must also have suitable center bore, offset, width, diameter, load rating, brake clearance, fastener compatibility, and tire compatibility. Use the on-page calculator for an initial comparison and confirm the specifications from the donor vehicle or wheel markings.
What thread size is listed for the wheel fasteners?
The supplied thread size is M12 x 1.5. Thread size alone is not enough to select fasteners. The fastener seat type, length, engagement, and required torque must match the wheel and vehicle.
Will changing wheel diameter change the tire size?
Changing wheel diameter requires a tire with the corresponding rim diameter. The calculator updates the tire diameter comparison when you change rim diameter, but it does not replace confirmation of load rating, clearance, placard requirements, or manufacturer approval.
Where can I confirm the correct original tire size?
Check the driver-door or door-jamb tire placard, the owner’s manual, the tire sidewall currently installed, and Ford parts or service information. If those sources conflict, ask a Ford dealer or qualified tire professional to identify the exact trim and configuration.
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.
