1982 Mercury Cougar Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1982 Mercury Cougar uses a four-lug, 108-millimeter bolt pattern shared across all trims. The stock setup runs 14-inch wheels at 5.5 inches wide with a 43-millimeter offset. You can step up to 15-inch options in either 6 or 6.5-inch widths while maintaining the same offset spec, giving you flexibility without sacrificing fitment.
Only the 4x108 bolt pattern will work on this Cougar, so verify any wheel you consider matches precisely. The center bore sits at 63.4 millimeters—use hub-centric rings if your wheel's bore exceeds that diameter to ensure proper centering. Aggressive offsets or unusually wide wheels risk contact with the fender or suspension components, so stick with the compatible sizes listed.
Every wheel we offer for your Cougar bolts on correctly and ships free to the lower 48 states. Fifteen52, Motegi Racing, G-LINE ALLOYS, and Race Star all have fitments in stock and ready to ship.
