1973 Ford Thunderbird Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1973 Ford Thunderbird uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 70.6mm center bore. The stock wheel measures 14x5.5 with an 18mm offset. You can upgrade to 14x6, 15x6, or 15x7 sizes while maintaining compatibility. Since this vehicle isn't staggered, front and rear wheels are interchangeable in fitment.
Only 5x114.3 wheels will fit your Thunderbird—any other bolt pattern won't work. The 70.6mm hub-centric bore means you should use hub-centric rings if your chosen wheel has a larger center bore to ensure proper fitment. Wider and more aggressive offsets risk rubbing against fenders and suspension components, so stay within the compatible sizes listed.
Every wheel we offer for your Thunderbird is verified to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Brands like Work Wheels, BBS, Enkei, and Heritage Wheel are in stock and ready to ship for your classic Ford.
