mrtn Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 Pretty much any make fits as long as the diameter and PCD fits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta Don Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 There are lots of wheels from other Ford products which fit fine - I'm using some pretty alloys from a 2012 Focus ST on my TC and I bought a blemish-free set of 4 of them on eBay for $350, which included shipping. Stock TPMS from my steel wheels transferred over with no problems Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can play around with the numbers, fit a bigger wheel to a different size tire, etc. Many configurations. The first step is to select the correct bolt pattern. The lugs on your van need to fit the wheel. The there is the center bore diameter. Most aftermarket wheels will have a very big center bore, but you should be careful to not source a wheel with a smaller center bore. From my recollection, Transit Connect is not hub centric. It's not needed, but it won't hurt to source the correct size hub centric rings. The purpose of the centric ring is to perfectly center the alloy wheel to the wheel hub and hence prevent vibration to the steering wheel during driving and the shaking which typically appears around speeds of 40-60 mph. Transit Connect should be lug centric. OEM conical seat lug nuts should work fine with your aftermarket wheels. You can choose to buy aftermarket lug nuts, since the OEM lug nuts hidden behind hubcaps are considered "ugly" by some people. Be sure to select the correct thread pitch. 60° is the most common and is found on most aftermarket wheels. 45° conical seat lug nuts have a larger, wider surface that engages the wheel. They are used with Circle Track and NASCAR style race wheels. Most shops will try to sell you new lug nuts, lug locks, hub centric rings, nitrogen in your tires, "TPMS service", et cetera. A lot of customers just don't know, and it's how the shop makes money. Your biggest challenge will be finding a wheel with the exact specifications as the factory wheel. I found 1. Not even aftermarket steel wheels, which were advertised as Transit Connect specific replacements, where the same specification. Getting 4 new wheels with slightly different specifications is fine, since you are using them together. If it bothers you, get 5 wheels, so that your spare wheel will be exactly the same also.
