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
A sedan's wheel spec is a balance point the factory tuned between ride comfort, steering feel, and everyday durability. Forging lets us hold that same structural margin while cutting rotational mass, which is where most of the real-world benefit — quicker steering response, marginally better ride — actually comes from.
The Ford FG Falcon Ute ships from the factory on a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 70.5mm center bore and a 16x6.5J ET36.5 wheel. Our flush reference for the Ford FG Falcon Ute is 17x7.5J ET35.; our maximum aggressive reference is 18x8J ET30. — beyond that, expect clearance issues against the fender liner without further modification.
Ford FG Falcon Ute OE Wheel Specs
The Ford FG Falcon Ute ships from the factory on 5x114.3 bolt pattern wheels with a 70.5mm center bore. The stock wheel size is 16x6.5J ET36.5, 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 FG Falcon Ute (2008) we drill the 5x114.3 pattern and cut the centre bore to 70.5mm 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.
Converting these ET figures to backspacing? Use the wheel offset and backspacing calculator.
The figures on this page are part of our open wheel fitment dataset — 10,093 vehicles, free to download, CC BY 4.0.
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) | 16x6.5J | ET36.5 | 5.19 in (132 mm) | — | — |
| Flush | 17x7.5J | ET35 | 5.63 in (143 mm) | +11 mm | +14 mm |
| Maximum | 18x8J | ET30 | 5.68 in (144 mm) | +13 mm | +26 mm |
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Ford FG Falcon Ute (5x114.3, 70.5 mm Bore)
In our database, 155 other vehicle entries from 6 makes use exactly the same 5x114.3 bolt pattern and 70.5 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); 12.0% of those also use a 70.5 mm center bore.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 70.5 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 70.5 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 71.6 mm | 71.6 → 70.5 mm |
| 72.6 mm | 72.6 → 70.5 mm |
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 70.5 mm |
| 74.1 mm | 74.1 → 70.5 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 70.5 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Ford FG Falcon Ute use?
The 2008 Ford FG Falcon Ute uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Ford FG Falcon Ute use?
The Ford FG Falcon Ute 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 FG Falcon Ute?
The Ford FG Falcon Ute's center bore is 70.5mm. 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 FG Falcon Ute?
Factory wheels on the Ford FG Falcon Ute are 16x6.5J ET36.5.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Ford FG Falcon Ute?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 17x7.5J at ET35 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Ford FG Falcon Ute.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Ford FG Falcon Ute?
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 FG Falcon Ute?
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 5.63" 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 FG Falcon Ute?
The Ford FG Falcon Ute 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.
