Lincoln MKS Wheels and Rims

Lincoln MKS Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

The Lincoln MKS is the full-size luxury sedan Lincoln built from 2009 through 2016 as the luxury counterpart to the Ford Taurus on the Ford D3 (and later D4) platform. Element Wheels tracks MKS fitment across the launch generation (2009-2012) and the facelift generation (2013-2016). Every MKS runs a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 63.4mm hub bore. The pattern stays consistent across the entire MKS run. The MKS shares this exact pattern and hub bore with the same-era Ford Taurus and the Ford Flex and the Ford Explorer of the same generation because all share the Ford D3 / D4 full-size platform. Find your year range below and the wheel and rim recommendations follow.

Pick your year range to see wheels and rims that fit your specific MKS. The bolt pattern stays 5x114.3 and the hub bore stays 63.4mm across the entire production run. The differences across the launch and facelift years are factory wheel sizes, brake hardware on the EcoBoost trims, and the lug thread description on the 2013-2016 cars.

The Lincoln MKS Bolt Pattern

Every Lincoln MKS (2009 through 2016) runs a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 63.4mm hub bore. The 5x114.3 spec is also called 5x4.5 in imperial form because 114.3mm equals 4.5 inches. Both notations describe the same pattern. The MKS has never changed bolt pattern across the entire production run because Lincoln kept it on the Ford D3 / D4 full-size sedan platform for its full life.

The MKS shares the 5x114.3 / 63.4mm pattern with the 2010-2019 Ford Taurus and the 2010-2019 Ford Flex because all three vehicles are built on the same Ford D3 (later D4) full-size platform with different bodies. Wheels are cross-shoppable across those three platforms within the same era, with brake clearance, factory wheel diameter, and EcoBoost-trim hardware being the deciding variables.

What Changed Across Lincoln MKS Generations

Two MKS year ranges show up in our catalog and they share the same 5x114.3 / 63.4mm CB spec. The 2009-2012 launch generation ran factory 18 to 20 inch wheels depending on trim, with EcoBoost AWD adding a 20 inch wheel as standard. The 2013 facelift kept the same bolt pattern and hub bore, refined the front-end styling, and shipped factory 19 and 20 inch wheels on most trims. The lug thread on the 2013-2016 cars uses an imperial 1/2 inch by 20 TPI thread that is dimensionally very close to the metric M12x1.5 callout most catalogs list. Both lug descriptions work, but the actual hardware is the imperial 1/2 inch spec.

The aftermarket pattern on the MKS is a balanced looks build. Customers shop the MKS for a more aggressive face style than the factory machined wheel, a one or two inch step up from the dealer wheel, and a deeper concave look that the factory wheel does not deliver. The car is front wheel drive on base trims and all wheel drive on EcoBoost trims. Neither layout calls for a staggered fitment. The aftermarket build stays square with the visual upgrade coming from spoke design, finish, and face concavity.

EcoBoost variant note. The MKS EcoBoost AWD adds the twin turbo 3.5L engine and AWD across the 2010-2016 run. EcoBoost trims carry a larger front brake setup than the base MKS, but the brake hardware fits within our measured aftermarket window. The bolt pattern, hub bore, and offset window match the base MKS. Cross-shop between EcoBoost and base MKS wheels within the same year range with confidence.

How We Confirm Fitment on Lincoln MKS Wheels

Element Wheels measures fitment on the platforms we sell wheels for, including the MKS across both year ranges. For the MKS that means clearance from the wheel to the fender, gap between the back of the wheel and the suspension, brake caliper height (especially on EcoBoost trims), hub protrusion, and lug seat depth, all measured directly on the car. At our fitment facility in Chandler, Arizona, the Element Wheels team measures directly on the physical platforms we support. We do not pull specs from manufacturer sheets the way most retailers do.

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.
