Expert Buying Guide for 2013 Ford Transit Connect Cargo
For your 2013 Ford Transit Connect Cargo, the 5x160 bolt pattern is used from 2010–2018, so wheels from those years are direct fit. The center bore is 65.1mm; aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore, requiring hub-centric rings to prevent vibration and ensure load is on the hub, not the lugs. Offset is critical: stock is 60mm. Sticking close to this range maintains proper suspension geometry and clearance. Using a significantly different offset can cause rubbing or bearing wear. Lug nuts are M14x2.0 with a conical (60-degree) seat. Never use ball-seat or shank-style nuts; only conical seat lug nuts are safe. Always torque to manufacturer specs (100–110 lb-ft) and re-torque after 50 miles.
