Ford Kuga wheel fitment — I
Ford Kuga wheel fitment
Ford Kuga wheel fitment comes down to two things: the factory hub spec, and how far the aftermarket width and offset can move from it. Both are here for the Ford Kuga (I) (2008–present).
| Bolt pattern (PCD) | 5x108 |
| Centre bore | 63.4 mm |
| Bolt / thread | M12x1.5 (nuts) |
| Wheel-bolt torque | 100 Nm |
| Seat type | tapered |
| Factory setup | square |
| TPMS | direct |
Aftermarket wheel sizes — read per position:
| Position | Width | Offset |
|---|---|---|
| Front | 6.5J–9J | ET35–ET53 |
Width and offset move together: roughly 8 to 10 ET more for every extra 1J keeps the wheel inside the arch. Final offset and any spacer come from the fit-check.
Overview
The first generation of the Ford Kuga is a compact crossover SUV (C-segment) manufactured by Ford since 2008 for the European market. It was built at Ford's plant in Saarlouis, Germany and offered both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive options. The car was based on the C1 platform shared with the Ford Focus and Ford C-Max. In the UK, only high-end Zetec and Titanium specifications were available. This generation marked a shift towards premium market aspirations for the Kuga.

History & notable variants
The first-generation Kuga made its world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September 2007 and went on sale in early 2008. A facelift was introduced by the end of 2010, after being revealed earlier that year. The car's name, 'Kuga', means plague in Bosnian, Croatian, Serbian, and Slovenian languages, which affected its sales negatively in these regions.
