As car enthusiasts, we often find ourselves wanting to switch up our daily drivers for something more reliable, economical, and functional. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t still modify our cars to make them unique and personalized. One car that has been a popular choice for modifications over the past decade is the second generation Ford Fusion. In this article, we will explore what wheels fit the Ford Fusion (2013-2020) and discuss various setups that enthusiasts have used to enhance the look and performance of their cars.
Before diving into the specifics, let’s talk about the general fitment range for the Ford Fusion. The recommended wheel diameter ranges from 18 to 22 inches, with 8 to 9 inches in width. The offset should ideally fall between +35 and +53. It’s worth noting that the Ford Fusion has a less common bolt pattern of 5x108, which may limit the available options compared to more common patterns.
To provide a real-world perspective, let’s take a look at some Ford Fusion setups from the Fitment Industries gallery. We will start with more modest setups suitable for daily driving and gradually move towards more aggressive and eye-catching setups.
2016 Ford Fusion with TSW Mechanica wheels (20x8.5 +46 offset), Toyo Extensa HP tires (235/45), and Godspeed coilovers. This setup offers a decently flush fitment with no rubbing or fender modifications required.
2017 Ford Fusion with Advan Racing Catalan wheels (20x8.5 +42 offset), Nitto NT555 G2 tires (255/35), and Godspeed coilovers. Again, this setup provides a flush fitment without any rubbing issues.
2015 Ford Fusion with Rotiform RSE wheels (19x8.5 +35 offset), Toyo Extensa HP tires (235/35), and Steeda lowering springs. Despite the smaller wheel diameter, the reduced offset helps achieve a more flush fitment. No rubbing or modifications reported.
2014 Ford Fusion with TSW Veil wheels (19x8.5 +35 offset), Toyo Extensa HP tires (235/35), and BC Racing coilovers. This setup mirrors the previous one but with lowered height and negative camber in the rear. No fender rolling or rubbing mentioned.
2018 Ford Fusion with Rotiform CVT wheels (19x8.5 +35 offset), D2 Racing air suspension, and smaller tires (215/45). While no trimming or modifications were necessary, some slight modifications might help achieve a lower stance.
2017 Ford Fusion with Black Diamond BD1 wheels (20x9 +15 offset), Lionhart LH-5 tires (235/20), and Airlift Performance air suspension. This setup is more aggressive and requires a larger wheel size and lower offset. However, the car pulls it off nicely.
2013 Ford Fusion with Water Cooled Industries MT10 wheels (18x9 +45 offset in the front, 18x10.5 +45 offset in the rear), Otto FP7000 tires (235/40, 225/35), and Airlift Performance air suspension. This staggered setup looks great without the need for adjustable control arms or major modifications. Some slight fender rolling and pulling were done to accommodate the wider rear wheels.
These setups serve as solid examples of what is achievable with the Ford Fusion (2013-2020). However, the Fitment Industries gallery features many more options, so enthusiasts can explore and find the perfect fitment for their specific Fusion model.
In conclusion, modifying a Ford Fusion to suit individual preferences and enhance its aesthetics and performance is a popular trend among car enthusiasts. With the right wheel diameter, width, offset, and tire size, the Ford Fusion can achieve a flush fitment without any rubbing or major modifications. Whether it’s daily driving or a more aggressive setup, there are plenty of options available to make your Ford Fusion stand out on the road.
