## Ford Fusion tire sizes: common questions

### What size tires does a Ford Fusion take?

It varies by trim and wheel size, 4 factory fitments exist, from 215/60R16 up. Check the placard on the driver's door jamb for the size your specific vehicle left the factory with.

### What is the bolt pattern on a Ford Fusion?

5x108. That is the figure you need when shopping for aftermarket wheels; centre bore and offset still have to match separately.

### What should the tire pressure be on a Ford Fusion?

32 PSI front and rear, measured cold. The number moulded into the tire sidewall is the tire's maximum, not the vehicle's recommendation. Do not inflate to it.

### What is the lug nut torque for a Ford Fusion?

100 lb-ft, tightened in a star pattern with a torque wrench. Impact guns routinely overshoot this by 100 lb-ft or more, which warps rotors and stretches studs.

### Does the Ford Fusion come with a spare tire?

Compact temporary spare on most trims; some higher trims ship with a tire inflator kit instead.
