1987 Mercury Cougar Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1987 Mercury Cougar LS or XR-7 uses a 4x108 bolt pattern with a 63.4mm center bore. The stock wheel measures 14x5.5 with a 43mm offset. You can step up to 15x7, 16x7 or 16x7.5, 17x7 through 17x8, or 18x7.5 and 18x8 fitments. Since this car runs square sizing, you'll use matching wheels front and rear.
Pay attention to the 4x108 bolt pattern—it's the only specification that will secure your wheels properly. Make sure any wheel you choose has a center bore of 63.4mm or smaller; if it's larger, use hub-centric rings to ensure a safe fit. Aggressive offsets or very wide wheels can contact the fender and suspension components, so stay within the compatible size range we've listed.
Every wheel we offer for your Cougar is confirmed to bolt on safely and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. We stock fifteen52, Motegi Racing, G - LINE ALLOYS, and Race Star options that fit your application perfectly.
