1986 Mercury Lynx Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1986 Mercury Lynx mounts wheels on a 4x108 bolt pattern. The Base and XR3 trims both use 13x5 stock wheels with a 36 offset. You can fit wheels up to 18x7.5, or stick closer to stock with 13x5.5, 14x5.5, 14x6, and 15-inch options. Since this vehicle runs square wheels front and rear, you have complete sizing flexibility without worrying about staggered setups.
Keep in mind that only the 4x108 bolt pattern will fit your Lynx. The center bore measures 63.4mm—if your wheel's bore exceeds this, use hub-centric rings to ensure a safe, centered fit. Going significantly wider or running an aggressive offset can risk rubbing against the fender or suspension, so choose sizes and offsets thoughtfully when sizing up from stock.
Every wheel in our catalog for your Lynx is verified to bolt on securely, and we ship free across the lower 48 states. fifteen52, Motegi Racing, G-LINE ALLOYS, and Race Star all have fitments in stock and ready to ship.
