Ford B-Max wheel fitment — JK8
Overview
The Ford B-Max is a mini MPV manufactured by Ford Europe from 2012 to 2017. It was initially unveiled as a concept car at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show and officially launched at the 2012 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Built on the Ford global B platform, it shares its underpinnings with the Ford Fiesta. The B-Max features rear sliding doors without B-pillars and is available with a range of petrol and diesel engines, including the award-winning 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine. It was produced at the Craiova plant in Romania and ceased production in September 2017 due to declining demand for mini MPVs.
Ford B-Max wheel fitment
Ford B-Max wheel fitment for the Ford B-Max JK8 (2012–2017): the factory PCD, centre bore and bolt spec, then the aftermarket width and offset window we fit to.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 4x108 |
| Centre bore | 63.4 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M12x1.5 (nuts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 100 Nm |
| Seat type | tapered |

Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6J–8.5J | ET25–ET40 |
As a rule, each extra 1J of width wants roughly +8–10 ET to keep the wheel tucked. The exact offset and any spacer are confirmed by the fit-check.
