1978 Ford Pinto Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1978 Ford Pinto runs a 4x108 bolt pattern with stock wheels measuring 13x4 at a 36-millimeter offset. You can fit larger diameters and widths by stepping up to 13x4.5, 13x5, 13x5.5, or 14x5.5 wheels, all in the same offset range that works for your car's original setup. The vehicle uses a square wheel configuration, so front and rear fitment remains consistent across compatible sizes.
Only wheels with a 4x108 bolt pattern will mount on your Pinto, so verify that detail carefully before ordering. We recommend hub-centric rings if your chosen wheel's center bore exceeds our 63.9-millimeter hub size, ensuring a secure fit without rattling. Aggressive offsets or wider widths can risk contact with fenders and suspension components, so stock offset territory keeps you safest.
Every wheel we list bolts straight on and qualifies for free shipping across the lower 48 states. fifteen52, Motegi Racing, G - LINE ALLOYS, and Race Star all have models in stock that fit your Pinto right now.
