[Electron_Libre]

Haters will probably hate even more but what about good old classic looking wheels on Mach-E? https://www.uswheel.com/wheels/6662/muscle/

None of their wheels appear to be 5x108 bolt pattern.

Probably would cost some efficiency by increasing drag.

Fashion cares not for Aerodynamic Efficiency!
Example: Go to any High Fashion Show, and point a huge, powerful fan at the models as they come down the runway. Watch as they all fall over due to non-aerodynamic clothing. See?

Has there been any official confirmation that the MME bolt pattern is 5x108?

I can't find it in any of the manuals.

I'll have official confirmation by the end of the week.

Unofficial confirmation: (that is, I have no idea where this site got their info)

Official Confirmation:

The Bolt Pattern on a 2021 Mustang Mach-E is 5x108.

(note: 108mm = 4.25 inches... and I can't find a metric ruler in my house... odd... but I digress...

Nice. Where'd you get the hub?

I bought it from Ford's online parts store. Because I'm weird.

I happen to be browsing the Mach-E's parts diagrams. I'm much more familiar with other brands; this is my first Ford (since my parents had a Gran Torino station wagon in the 70's).

I do that with most of my cars, just to see what options or modifications I might want to make, and how easy they might be. So I just wandered over to the wheels and hubs diagrams. And from placing the order on Sunday to receiving the part Wednesday morning. It's also a test of "do they have the parts systems up and running yet?" And that's a YES. As I would expect from an experienced, well established car manufacturer. <cough>not Tesla<cough>or PoleStar<cough>

Nice! Too bad you didn't buy a wheel too. Then we'd also know the bore.

Actually, you can probably tell the bore from the center of the hub as well, right?

My (possibly inaccurate) measurement seems to be exactly 2.5 inches, which calculates to 63.5 mm. Where are my digital calipers!!!??!!!

That's close enough! I'm looking at this wheel for winter, wich looks like it should work fine.
