1979 Mercury Capri Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Mercury Capri requires a 4x108 bolt pattern. The stock setup is a 13x5.5 wheel with a 20mm offset. You can upgrade to larger diameters and widths—13x6, 13x7, 13x8, 14x6, 14x7, 15x6.5, 15x7, 15x8, or 16x7 are all compatible. Since this model isn't staggered, front and rear dimensions remain consistent throughout your fitment options.
Only the 4x108 bolt pattern will fit your Capri, so verify any wheel you're considering matches that specification exactly. The hub center bore measures 63.4mm; if your chosen wheel has a larger bore, we'll provide hub-centric rings to ensure proper centering. Aggressive offsets or extremely wide wheels may encounter fender or suspension contact, so stay conservative with modifications to maintain clearance.
Every wheel we list is verified to bolt directly onto your 1979 Mercury Capri and ships free to the lower 48 states. Brands like fifteen52, Motegi Racing, G - LINE ALLOYS, and Race Star all carry options in stock that suit this fitment perfectly.
