Ford Galaxy wheel fitment — III
Overview
The Ford Galaxy is a seven-seater car produced by Ford of Europe from June 1995 to April 2023. Considered in the motor industry to be a large multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), it was the first Ford-brand MPV produced and marketed outside of North America, currently in its third generation. Sharing its platform architecture with the Ford Mondeo, the Galaxy was developed alongside the Ford S-Max; the model line is slotted between the Connect and Custom variants of the Ford Tourneo/Transit model family.
Ford Galaxy wheel fitment
Ford Galaxy wheel fitment for the Ford Galaxy (III) (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 | 150 Nm |
| Seat type | tapered |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | direct |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6.5J–9.5J | ET35–ET55 |
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.
That makes Ford Galaxy wheel fitment a high-demand spec to keep in stock. It is one reason we track it here.

History & notable variants
The first generation (V191) was designed as a joint venture product between Ford and Volkswagen Group. Produced at AutoEuropa in Portugal, it used predominantly VW mechanicals but had a mix of both Ford and VW components inside. The MkI Galaxy received a facelift in 2000 with new exterior styling including New Edge design elements and an updated dashboard. In the UK, despite being rated as the least satisfying car by Top Gear in 1999, it was also the best-selling MPV that year.
