2020 Ford Fusion bolt pattern
Your 2020 Ford Fusion’s bolt pattern (aka lug pattern) is 5x4.5 or 5 on 4.5. If those numbers don’t mean much to you, here’s a simple explanation of the expression:
# of bolts x diameter of the circle they form
Thus, a 5x4.5 lug pattern means that your Fusion’s wheels have five bolts each, set in a circle 4.5 inches in diameter.
However, your lug pattern isn’t the only measurement you’ll need when searching for new wheels. It’s also essential to know your Ford’s stud size, wheel offset, center bore measurement, and torque specifications before you begin shopping and modifying.
Here are all of the details you could possibly need:
Factory wheel size: 16” or 17”
Wheel tightening torque: 135 Nm
How to measure your Ford Fusion’s bolt pattern
Everything you need to switch out your ‘20 Fusion’s wheels is listed above. However, if you’re interested in checking a vehicle’s bolt pattern yourself, there’s an easy way to do so.
Simply grab a measuring tape or even a basic 12-inch ruler. Start at any bolt and measure from the outer edge of the lug hole to the center of the opposite bolt.
Since the Fusion has five bolts in each wheel, your ruler will land between bolts if you measure straight across. Instead, choose either of the nearest bolts (on the left or the right) and measure to its center.
Combine that measurement with the total number of bolts, and voila! You have your lug pattern. It’s really that simple!
