changing wheels?

[bnewt]

will any Ford 19" wheel fit my 2020 MKZ?

I have the black low profile wheels & tires and want to trade the wheels out for a chrome or aluminum wheel

I saw a very nice set on a Ford Tarus yesterday and wondered if they would work.

Hi bnewt. No. If you are thinking of using wheel from another vehicle, even a Lincoln/Ford: In addition to the wheel diameter (19"), you need to be sure the other wheel is a proper offset, width, lug spacing, center-bore etc.

 

Let us know how you make out and good luck.

Here is the wheel sizes by the year for the Taurus just scroll down the page.

This is for the MKZ so you can compare.

Hi gang. Unfortunately, although I did not take the time to check everything, some of that information is not correct. For example, the lug/thread/lugnut sizes on the 2017-2020 3.0T MKZ's are "M14 x 1.5". Not "M12". And the stock factory sizes for the late model MKZ's is also wrong. There were no 20" factory wheels available.

 

So I would be wary of using that as a completely reliable source.

 

Good luck.

thanks for the replies

I was afraid that was going to be the response

I have a 2020 MKZ - black with black wheels

I don't like the wheels and want to change them to either chrome or aluminum

Hi bnewt. Well, any late model 19" MKZ or Fusion wheel will fit. There are some others, but I do not have a list and do not know which do/do not.

 

One word of advice: Do not bother with any factory "chrome" wheels. Most, if not all, are not actual chromed metal wheels. They are "chrome clad" wheels, which is a chromed plastic wheel cover glued to the face of an aluminum wheel. They were introduced some years ago in an effort by the auto manufacturers to offer chrome wheels at a lower cost. Unfortunately, the auto manufacturers took a long time to eventually realize that "chrome clad" wheels have a very high propensity to peel. 

 

So if you want a chrome look, stick with polished aluminum wheels. Or purchase aftermarket chrome wheels which are chromed metal, not "chrome clad".

 

In fact, you may be better off going aftermarket for new wheels. You an probably find a nice wheel for less money than you may have to pay for 4 factory wheels. You can start by taking a look on The Tire Rack for what they offer: https://www.tirerack.com/content/tirerack/desktop/en/homepage.html

 

Of course, there are many other wheel retailers and wholesalers, but The Tire Rack is a good place to start to see what is available, and what you may like in your price range.

 

Let us know how you make out and good luck.
