Lincoln MKX Wheels and Rims

Lincoln MKX Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

The Lincoln MKX is the midsize luxury crossover Lincoln built from 2007 through 2018 as the luxury counterpart to the Ford Edge. Lincoln renamed the model to the Lincoln Nautilus for the 2019 model year and forward, so the MKX nameplate covers the first two generations of this platform. Element Wheels tracks MKX fitment across two generations. The 1st gen (2007-2015) ran a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 70.5mm hub bore on the Ford Edge CD3 platform. The 2nd gen (2016-2018) moved to a 5x108 bolt pattern with a 63.4mm hub bore when Lincoln refreshed the MKX onto the Ford Edge CD4 platform. The wheels do not bolt across the 2016 transition.

Find Your Lincoln MKX Generation

Pick your year range to see wheels and rims that fit your specific MKX. The bolt pattern transitions at 2016 from 5x114.3 to 5x108. The hub bore transitions at the same point from 70.5mm to 63.4mm. If you have a 2019 or newer Lincoln crossover on this same platform, it is badged Nautilus.

The Lincoln MKX Bolt Pattern

The 1st gen MKX (2007-2015) runs 5x114.3 with a 70.5mm 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. Lincoln refreshed the MKX for 2016 onto the second generation Ford Edge platform and moved to 5x108 with a 63.4mm hub bore. The 5x108 pattern is a Ford-specific metric pattern and does NOT cross with 5x114.3 or with any other 5 lug pattern in that size range. The MKX stayed on 5x108 / 63.4mm CB through 2018 before Lincoln renamed the model to Nautilus for 2019.

The MKX shares its bolt pattern, hub bore, and platform exactly with the Ford Edge of the same generation. 1st gen MKX wheels cross-shop with the 2007-2014 Ford Edge (also 5x114.3 / 70.5mm). 2nd gen MKX wheels cross-shop with the 2015-2018 Ford Edge (also 5x108 / 63.4mm). Brake clearance and trim-specific factory wheel sizes are the deciding variables when cross-shopping. Compare across the rest of the Lincoln lineup at our Lincoln wheels and rims hub.

What Changed Across Lincoln MKX Generations

Two MKX generations show up in our catalog with two major spec changes between them. The bolt pattern changed at 2016 (from 5x114.3 to 5x108). The hub bore changed at the same point (from 70.5mm to 63.4mm). The 1st gen MKX ran factory 18 to 20 inch wheels depending on trim, with the Limited and Sport trims offering 20 inch as the top size. The 2016 redesign on the new Ford Edge platform brought a more aggressive face style and shipped factory 18, 20, and 21 inch wheels depending on trim, with Black Label cars getting the 21 inch as standard.

The aftermarket pattern on the MKX is a looks-driven build on a midsize family crossover. Customers shop the MKX for a more aggressive face style than the factory wheel, a step up in diameter from the dealer wheel, and a deeper concave look. The MKX is available in front wheel drive and all wheel drive across both generations. Neither layout calls for a staggered fitment. The aftermarket build stays square with the visual upgrade coming from spoke design, finish, and face concavity.

Lincoln Nautilus note. The MKX was renamed Lincoln Nautilus for the 2019 model year onward when Lincoln dropped the MK naming convention across the lineup. The 2019 Nautilus carries the same bolt pattern, hub bore, and offset window as the 2016-2018 MKX (5x108 / 63.4mm CB) because the platform underneath stayed the same. If you have a 2019 or newer Nautilus, the 2016-2018 MKX wheel will fit and vice versa. The 2024 Nautilus is the third generation rename refresh and moves to a different fitment spec, so cross-shop with care across that line.

How We Confirm Fitment on Lincoln MKX Wheels

Element Wheels measures fitment on the platforms we sell wheels for, including the MKX across both generations. For the MKX that means clearance from the wheel to the fender, gap between the back of the wheel and the suspension, brake caliper height, 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.
