If you plan to use proper Ford Transit Custom wheel adapters to upgrade the wheel style, the first thing you’ll need to know is the bolt pattern. The bolt pattern is also called the lug pattern or PCD. Knowing this measurement is crucial for getting wheel adapters that will fit properly. For example, the bolt pattern of the newer 2025 Ford Transit Custom is 6x120mm.
To ensure a safe fit, the adapter bolt pattern must be the same as the vehicle lug pattern. However, proper wheel adapters will allow you to use various aftermarket wheels. For example, the 5×160 to 5×120 wheel adapters allow you to put 5×120 aftermarket wheels on a vehicle with 5×160 bolt pattern quickly and safely.
Transit Custom Wheel Adapters Size Pros and Cons
Generally, most Transit Custom owners opt for wheel adapters ranging from 1-inch to 2-inch. Let’s break down the pros and cons of these sizes:
- 1-inch wheel adapters give your vehicle a wider stance. A broader wheel style can make your vehicle look more aggressive and attractive.
- 1.5-inch adapters provide more stability while cornering and better control on rough trails. It also allows for larger tires without rubbing.
- 2-inch wheel adapters are usually used to fit a lift kit. It’s vital to opt for high-quality hub-centric adapters and ensure that the vehicle is properly aligned after installation.
What Bolt Pattern is a Ford Transit Custom Wheel Adapter?
To determine the correct wheel adapter size, you’ll need to know your Transit Custom’s bolt pattern (PCD) and center bore (CB) measurements:
- Transit Custom II (2024-2025): PCD=6x120mm, CB=74.5mm, Thread=M14x1.5mm
- Transit Custom I (2012-2023): PCD=5x160mm, CB=65.1mm, Thread=M14x1.5mm
What Make BONOSS Custom Wheel Adapters the Best Choice?
Safety, precision, strength, and best experience are what sets apart BONOSS from other adapters manufacturers. All BONOSS forged Ford Transit Custom wheel adapters are built strictly to meet international standards that can improve the quality of your own driving experience. BONOSS offers several key advantages that make their adapters a top choice.
1. Active Cooling for Better Performance
With the same price as most rim adapters, BONOSS forged active cooling wheel adapters come with heat dissipation grooves to make brake cooling better. The heat dissipation grooves behind the adapters can boost the cooling efficiency. This is helpful in reducing brake thermal decay and improving road safety.
2. Forged Aluminum for Improved Safety
BONOSS forged active cooling wheel adapters are made of forged 6061-T6/ 7075-T6 aluminum alloy. The tensile strength is up 572 MPa (AL7075-T6). High tensile strength gives it strong resistance to being pulled apart, making it resistant to bending and breaking. Therefore, forged aluminum wheel adapters with higher tensile strength are safer and better.
3. ISO Grade 12.9 Wheel Studs for Enhanced Stability
The provided BONOSS wheel studs are made of high-strength forged SCM440 alloy steel. They have achieved ISO grade 12.9 standards:
- Tensile strength≥1,220 MPa;
- Ultimate tensile load≥152,000 N;
- Hardness (HV)≥395;
- NSS≥500H.
High-strength wheel studs and nuts ensure a strong wheel-adapter-hub connection. With such high-strength hardware, your Ford Transit Custom wheel adapters can bear more force without breaking.
Frequently Asked FAQ
Q: Can you fit 6×135 to 6×120?
A: Yes, with Ford Transit Custom wheel adapters 6×120 to 6×135, you can fit F150 6×135 wheels on a 2025 Ford Transit Custom easily.
Q: Can you tow with wheel adapters?
A: The answer is yes, high-quality wheel adapters (like BONOSS adapters) won’t affect a vehicle’s towing capacity.
Q: Do wheel adapters make wheels stick out?
A: Wheel adapters reduce the offset. The lower the offset value, the farther the wheels will sit outside. For example, a wheel with a 1-inch adapter will stick outside more than a wheel with no adapter.
