1989 Ford Thunderbird Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1989 Ford Thunderbird—whether Base, LX, or Super Coupe—rolls on a 5x108 bolt pattern with 15x6 wheels at 41mm offset from the factory. You can upgrade to larger sizes up through 17x8.5, including 15x6.5, 15x7, 16-inch options, and 17-inch widths. The fitment is square across all four corners, so choose your preferred width and offset combination without worrying about staggered setups.
Because your Thunderbird accepts only the 5x108 bolt pattern, verify any wheel you're considering matches exactly. The hub bore measures 63.9mm; if a wheel's center bore exceeds that, install hub-centric rings to ensure a safe, vibration-free fit. Aggressive offsets or wider wheels can interfere with fender and suspension components, so stick within the compatible range listed above to avoid costly rubbing issues.
Every wheel we stock for your Thunderbird bolts on correctly and ships free to the lower 48 states. You'll find Heritage Wheel, Petrol, Asanti Black, fifteen52, Work Wheels, Niche 1PC, Motegi Racing, and Mazzi all in inventory and ready to ship.
