We ship free to the lower 48 states, so upgrading your rolling stock is convenient and affordable.
1998 Mercury Tracer Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1998 Mercury Tracer GS, LS, or Trio bolts on a 4x100 pattern. The factory setup runs 14x5.5 with a 45-millimeter offset. You can upgrade through several compatible sizes: stick with 14x5.5 or 14x6, move to 15-inch wheels in 5.5, 6, 6.5, or 7-inch widths, or go up to 16x7 or 17x7. Since your Tracer wears a square setup front and rear, all these options work symmetrically across all four corners.
Only 4x100 wheels will fit your Tracer—no exceptions. The hub center bore measures 54.1 millimeters, so if your chosen wheel has a larger bore, use hub-centric rings to ensure a proper fit. Moving to wider wheels or more aggressive offsets than stock can invite fender and suspension contact, so verify fitment carefully before purchasing, especially when stepping up significantly in wheel size or width.
Every wheel listed here is pre-verified to bolt directly onto your Tracer and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. You'll find quality options in stock from Vors, Heritage Wheel, Work Wheels, Motegi Racing, MST Wheels, Petrol, Enkei, and Shift—browse by size and find your perfect match.
