1996 Mercury Tracer Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1996 Mercury Tracer rolls on 4x100 bolt pattern wheels. The stock setup runs 13x5 at 45 offset. You can upsize to 14, 15, 16, or even 17-inch diameters—14x5 through 17x7 are all compatible. Since this model doesn't use staggered sizing, square setups work perfectly across the board.
Only 4x100 bolts will fit your Tracer, so verify bolt pattern before purchasing. The hub center bore measures 54.1mm; use hub-centric rings if your wheel's bore exceeds that diameter. Aggressive offsets or extremely wide widths risk rubbing the fenders or suspension, so stick within the listed compatible sizes to stay safe and clear.
We stock Vors, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Motegi Racing, MST Wheels, Petrol, Enkei, and Shift—all verified to bolt directly onto your car. Every wheel ships free to the lower 48 states, so upgrade your Tracer's stance with confidence.
