Lincoln Nautilus Wheels and Rims

Lincoln Nautilus Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

The Lincoln Nautilus is the midsize luxury crossover Lincoln launched for the 2019 model year as the rename of the MKX. Element Wheels tracks Nautilus fitment from 2019 through 2023, which covers the original Nautilus on the 2nd gen Ford Edge CD4 platform. The Nautilus runs a 5x108 bolt pattern with a 63.4mm hub bore and an M14x1.5 lug thread on this generation. Lincoln redesigned the Nautilus for the 2024 model year onto a different platform, so the 2024 and up Nautilus is a separate fitment from the 2019-2023 run. Find your year range below and the wheel and rim recommendations follow.

Pick your year below to see wheels and rims that fit your specific Nautilus. The 2019-2023 Nautilus is the original Nautilus on the 2nd gen Ford Edge CD4 platform with 5x108 / 63.4mm CB. The 2024 and up Nautilus is the redesign on a new platform with a different fitment spec, so cross shop with care across that line.

The Lincoln Nautilus Bolt Pattern

The 2019-2023 Lincoln Nautilus runs a 5x108 bolt pattern with a 63.4mm hub bore. The 5x108 spec is a metric Ford pattern. It does NOT cross with 5x114.3 or with 5x4.5, which is the imperial nickname for 5x114.3 (114.3mm equals 4.5 inches). Lincoln carried this exact bolt pattern, hub bore, and lug thread forward unchanged when the MKX was renamed Nautilus for the 2019 model year because the platform underneath stayed the same.

The 2019-2023 Nautilus shares its bolt pattern, hub bore, and platform exactly with the 2016-2018 Lincoln MKX (the predecessor) and the 2015-2018 2nd gen Ford Edge. Wheels cross shop cleanly between these three vehicles within the 2015-2023 window of the 2nd gen Ford Edge CD4 platform. Brake clearance and trim specific factory wheel sizes are the deciding variables. Compare across the rest of the Lincoln lineup at our Lincoln wheels and rims hub.

What Changed Across Lincoln Nautilus Model Years

The 2019-2023 Nautilus is the original Nautilus, built on the 2nd gen Ford Edge CD4 platform. Lincoln renamed the model from MKX to Nautilus for the 2019 model year when Lincoln dropped the MK naming convention across the lineup. Bolt pattern, hub bore, brake hardware, and overall fitment window carried forward unchanged from the 2016-2018 MKX. Lincoln refreshed the Nautilus styling for 2021 with a new front fascia and grille, but the chassis and wheel hardware spec were not affected.

Factory wheel sizes track trim level. The 2019-2023 Nautilus shipped on factory 18, 19, 20, and 21 inch wheels depending on trim (Standard, Reserve, Black Label). Black Label cars got the 21 inch as standard. Our measured Element aftermarket window on the 2019-2023 Nautilus extends from 18 inch up to 24 inch. The 22 inch and 24 inch options are popular top end choices for buyers chasing a more aggressive face style than the factory wheel.

Aftermarket pattern. The Nautilus buyer is shopping a midsize luxury crossover against the Cadillac XT5, Audi Q5, BMW X3, and Volvo XC60, and aftermarket builds skew toward looks. Customers shop the Nautilus for a more aggressive face style than the factory wheel, a step up in diameter from base trims to match Black Label, and a deeper concave look. The Nautilus is available in front wheel drive and all wheel drive. Neither layout calls for a staggered fitment. The aftermarket build stays square with the visual upgrade coming from spoke design, finish, and face concavity.

2024 and up Nautilus note. Lincoln redesigned the Nautilus for the 2024 model year onto a new platform with new wheel hardware specs. If you have a 2024 or newer Nautilus, the 2019-2023 wheel may not fit and vice versa. Confirm fitment against your specific year before ordering.

How We Confirm Fitment on Lincoln Nautilus Wheels

Element Wheels measures fitment on the platforms we sell wheels for, including the Nautilus. For the Nautilus 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.
