1979 Mercury Bobcat Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Mercury Bobcat rolls on a 4x108 bolt pattern with a stock setup of 13x5.5 inches at 36 millimeters offset. You can step up to larger diameters and widths; compatible sizes include 13x6, 13x7, 14x7, 15x6.5, and 15x7 inches. Square wheel setups work perfectly for this non-staggered application.
The 4x108 bolt pattern is essential—no other pattern fits your Bobcat. The hub bore measures 63.9 millimeters, so use hub-centric rings if your wheel's center bore runs larger. Aggressive offset choices or very wide wheels risk contacting the fenders or suspension components, so stay within the proven compatible sizes to avoid clearance headaches.
fifteen52, Motegi Racing, G-LINE ALLOYS, and Race Star all stock fitments verified for your Bobcat. Every wheel ships free throughout the lower 48 states, making it simple to find the right look for your classic.
