1986 Ford Tempo Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1986 Ford Tempo uses a 4x108 bolt pattern with a stock wheel size of 13x4.5 at 41mm offset. You can upgrade to larger sizes including 14, 15, 16, 17, or 18-inch wheels, all the way up to 365x150. Since the Tempo came with square fitment, you have flexibility in choosing wheels that match your preferred aesthetic and driving needs.
Keep in mind that only 4x108 bolts will fit your Tempo—verify this pattern before purchasing. Your hub requires a 63.4mm center bore, so wheels with larger bores need hub-centric rings to ensure proper fitment and balance. Going significantly wider or running aggressive offsets risks interference with fenders and suspension components, so choose wheels that stay close to your stock dimensions if you're pushing toward the larger available sizes.
Every wheel we list for your Tempo bolts on correctly and ships free to the lower 48 states. We stock fifteen52, Motegi Racing, G - LINE ALLOYS, and Race Star options ready to ship.
