How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
Most of the engineering value in a forged wheel over a cast one shows up in rotational mass, not outright strength — both can meet the same load rating, but the forged piece gets there lighter. On a sedan platform tuned for everyday balance, that weight saving is felt directly in steering response and ride quality.
The Ford Taurus SHO ships from the factory on a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 63.4mm center bore and a 20x8J ET39 wheel. Our flush reference for the Ford Taurus SHO is 20x9J ET38.; our maximum aggressive reference is 21x9.5J ET35. — beyond that, expect clearance issues against the fender liner without further modification.

Correction (19 Sep 2026): factory wheel offset corrected from ET55 to ET39 (verified against wheel-size.com and avtoreference.com). The flush and maximum-aggressive reference sizes below were written against the previous figure and are being re-verified; treat them as provisional until this notice is removed.
The Ford Taurus SHO ships from the factory on 5x114.3 bolt pattern wheels with a 63.4mm center bore. The stock wheel size is 20x8J ET39, offering a balanced ride that suits most owners without any rubbing or clearance concerns.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Balances ride comfort with steering response and highway efficiency.
- Wide tire and wheel availability at the factory diameter keeps replacement costs low.
- Lower unsprung weight than larger aftermarket wheels helps ride quality and acceleration.
- Guaranteed clearance against brake calipers and suspension components.
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Ford Taurus SHO (2013) we drill the 5x114.3 pattern and cut the centre bore to 63.4mm on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.

Offset and Backspacing: Factory Wheel vs Options
Backspacing ≈ width/2 + ET/25.4 + 0.5 in. "Inward" means closer to the suspension; "outward" means closer to the fender lip.
| Setup | Size | ET | Backspacing | Inward vs OE | Outward vs OE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Factory (OE) | 20x8J | ET39 | 6.04 in (153 mm) | — | — |
| Flush | 20x9J | ET38 | 6.50 in (165 mm) | +12 mm | +14 mm |
| Maximum | 21x9.5J | ET35 | 6.63 in (168 mm) | +15 mm | +23 mm |
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Ford Taurus SHO (5x114.3, 63.4 mm Bore)
In our database, 24 other vehicle entries from 4 makes use exactly the same 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 63.4 mm center bore. Factory wheels from these cars bolt on and center on the hub without rings; offset and width still have to be checked.
5x114.3 is used by 20.0% of the vehicle pages in our English fitment guide (1,300 of 6,503); 1.9% of those also use a 63.4 mm center bore.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 63.4 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 63.4 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 64.1 mm | 64.1 → 63.4 mm |
| 65.1 mm | 65.1 → 63.4 mm |
| 66.1 mm | 66.1 → 63.4 mm |
| 66.6 mm | 66.6 → 63.4 mm |
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 63.4 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 63.4 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Ford Taurus SHO use?
The 2013 Ford Taurus SHO uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Ford Taurus SHO use?
The Ford Taurus SHO uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x114.3), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Ford Taurus SHO?
The Ford Taurus SHO's center bore is 63.4mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than this, hub-centric rings are recommended so the wheel centers on the hub itself rather than relying on the lug bolts alone.
What size are the factory (stock) wheels on the Ford Taurus SHO?
Factory wheels on the Ford Taurus SHO are 20x8J ET39.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Ford Taurus SHO?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 20x9J at ET38 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Ford Taurus SHO.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Ford Taurus SHO?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Ford Taurus SHO?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 6.5" of backspacing.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Ford Taurus SHO?
The Ford Taurus SHO runs the same wheel size front and rear from the factory, so staggered fitment is not required. ANKUSI can still forge a staggered set (wider rear) on request if you want a more aggressive stance.
Wheel Installation Reference: Torque, Thread & TPMS
Thread & Fastener: M12x1.5, conical-seat lug nut.
Factory Torque Spec: 136 Nm (100 ft-lb). Covers most Ford passenger cars and crossovers (Fusion, Focus, Escape and similar) on M12x1.5 studs.
TPMS: TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) has been federally mandated on all new light vehicles sold in the US since the 2008 model year. If your wheels use OE-style sensors, have them transferred or cloned to the new wheels at installation.
Tire Pressure: Always set tire pressure to the value on your vehicle's tire placard (driver's doorjamb or glovebox), not the max PSI printed on the tire sidewall — this is trim- and tire-size-specific and stays the same reference point when you switch to a different wheel and tire combination.
Reference data compiled from published OEM service specifications and cross-checked against independent repair sources; always confirm against your owner's manual or door-jamb placard before installation.
