Ford Contour Wheels and Rims

Ford Contour Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

The Ford Contour is the US-market compact sedan that Ford sold from the 1995 model year through the 2000 model year. The Contour is the North American badge of the Ford Mondeo built on the global CDW27 platform, and it was sold alongside the Mercury Mystique sister car during the same production run. The SVT Contour is the performance variant Ford built for the 1998 through 2000 model years with a higher output 2.5 liter Duratec V6 and an upgraded factory brake package. Every Contour in the Element Wheels catalog runs the same single bolt pattern: 4x108 with a 63.36mm hub bore and an M12x1.5 thread. 4x108 is one of Ford's metric 4-lug patterns. Find the fitment box below.

Find Your Ford Contour

The Element Wheels Contour fitment row covers the full 1995-2000 production run as a single catalog window. The base Contour and the SVT Contour share the same 4x108 / 63.36mm hub spec, and the same aftermarket diameter and width window applies. If your Contour is an SVT and you are running an aggressive low offset setup, contact our team for a free fitment consultation before ordering. The SVT carries a larger factory front brake than the base car, and clearance against a specific wheel is worth a phone call.

The Ford Contour Bolt Pattern

Every 1995-2000 Ford Contour runs 4x108 with a 63.36mm hub bore. The lug count is 4 and the thread pitch is M12x1.5. The imperial nickname for this pattern is 4x4.25 because 108mm equals roughly 4.25 inches. 4x108 is Ford's metric 4-lug pattern of the era, shared across the CDW27 Mondeo platform globally and used on the contemporary Ford Escort ZX2 (1998-2003), the contemporary Fiesta in some markets, and the European Mondeo. The Contour and its sister Mercury Mystique use the same 4x108 pattern with the same hub spec because they are the same chassis under two different badges.

The detail that trips Contour buyers cross-shopping wheels. 4x108 is NOT the same as 4x100. The two sit 8mm apart at the studs and the wheels do not cross. 4x100 is the much more common 4-lug pattern used on cars like the Honda Civic, the older Mini Cooper, and the 1991-2001 Ford Escort. The Contour is 4x108 only. The other pitfall is the 4-lug versus 5-lug distinction. Most modern Fords are 5-lug, but the Contour from this era is 4-lug. A 5-lug wheel will not fit your Contour. Confirm the listing says 4x108 specifically before ordering. Compare against the rest of the Ford lineup at our Ford wheels and rims hub.

SVT Contour and Trim Variants

The Contour lineup ran the 2.0 liter Zetec four cylinder on base trims and a 2.5 liter Duratec V6 on the upper trims, with the SVT Contour built by Ford SVT (Special Vehicle Team) for the 1998 through 2000 model years using a higher output version of the same 2.5 liter V6 and a sport-tuned chassis. The SVT carries a larger factory front brake than the base car. From a wheel fitment standpoint, the SVT Contour runs the same 4x108 bolt pattern, the same 63.36mm hub bore, and the same M12x1.5 thread as every other Contour. The wheel face clearance window is the same. The variable on the SVT is brake clearance on an aggressive low offset aftermarket setup. If your car is an SVT and you are running a low offset or a smaller diameter aftermarket wheel, contact our team to confirm clearance against your specific wheel before ordering.

The Contour runs square (same width front and rear) on every trim and every drivetrain. The platform is front-wheel-drive only across the production run. There is no factory staggered Contour, and front-to-rear tire rotation is part of normal maintenance. Same wheel spec works on every corner.

Every wheel we recommend is backed by our Fitment Guarantee. If a wheel does not fit, we pick up the wheels and refund 100 percent. No risk to you.

How We Confirm Fitment on Ford Contour Wheels

Element Wheels measures fitment on the platforms we sell wheels for, including the CDW27 platform Contour across the 1995-2000 run. For the Contour that means clearance from the wheel to the fender on a compact sedan with tight arch geometry, gap between the back of the wheel and the suspension and brake caliper, hub bore confirmation at 63.36mm, lug seat geometry on the M12x1.5 thread, and turning clearance with the wheel and tire installed at full lock. At our fitment facility in Chandler, Arizona, the Element Wheels team measures directly on the physical platforms we support. We don't pull specs from manufacturer sheets the way most retailers do.

The Contour shares its CDW27 platform with the Mercury Mystique of the same era and with the European Ford Mondeo. That overlap is useful for cross-referencing measured data across cars on the same chassis, which tightens the fitment window we publish for the Contour. The SVT Contour is the brake-package variable in the lineup, and we treat it as a clearance question against the specific wheel rather than a separate bolt pattern row.
