Ford Galaxy wheel fitment
Ford Galaxy wheel fitment for the Ford Galaxy (II) (2006–2015): the factory PCD, centre bore and bolt spec, then the aftermarket width and offset window we fit to.
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x108 |
| Centre bore | 63.4 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M14x1.5 (bolts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 130 Nm |
| Seat type | tapered |
| Factory setup | staggered |
| TPMS | direct |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6.5J–7.5J | ET35–ET55 |
| Rear (staggered) | 8.5J–9J | ET35–ET53 |
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.
UK popularity & demand
Based on DfT VEH0124 vehicle-parc data (2025), there are approximately 49,234 Ford Galaxy on UK roads, placing it in the top 6% of car models by volume across our fitment database.

History & notable variants
The first Galaxy was designed as a joint venture product between Ford and the Volkswagen Group. Produced at the AutoEuropa plant in Palmela, Portugal, it was badge-engineered to create three vehicles: the Ford Galaxy; by Volkswagen as the Sharan; and by SEAT as the Alhambra. The second generation introduced in 2006 saw a shift away from VW Group content with production moving to Genk, Belgium. In 2015, the third generation was launched, featuring updated engines and design elements.
