1999 Ford Contour — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bolt pattern for a 1999 Ford Contour?

What other years of Ford Contour have the same bolt pattern as the 1999?
The Ford Contour uses the 4x108 pattern from 1995 through 2000. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 1999, provided the offset and center bore also match.
What lug nut size does the 1999 Ford Contour use?
The 1999 Ford Contour uses M12x1.5 lug nuts. Always verify the thread pitch and seat type (cone, ball, or flat) match your aftermarket wheels.
Can I put aftermarket wheels on my 1999 Ford Contour?
Absolutely. Just ensure the aftermarket wheels have a 4x108 bolt pattern, an offset near 35-45mmmm, and a center bore of at least 63.3mm (using hub rings if larger).
Why is matching the 63.3mm center bore important for the 1999 Contour?
The 63.3mm center bore ensures the wheel is perfectly centered on the hub. If the wheel is lug-centric instead of hub-centric, you may experience steering wheel vibration at highway speeds.
Do 1999 Ford Contours use lug bolts or lug nuts?
The 1999 Contour requires M12x1.5 hardware. Check your specific trim to ensure you use the correct conical or spherical seating.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy Wheels
- Verify thread pitch before installation; M12x1.25 and M12x1.5 are not interchangeable.
- This fitment uses a wide offset range. Check brake clearance and fender clearance before buying wheels.
- Torque lugs in a star pattern to 80 ft-lbs (108 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).
- This bolt pattern is less common in our dataset. Verify wheel availability and hub specs before ordering.
