Ford Cortina MK1
The Ford Cortina MK1 rolled out of the factory with basic 13-inch steel wheels, typically measuring 13x4.5 or 13x5 inches wide depending on the trim level and market. Most MK1s used Ford's 4x108mm bolt pattern, though some early models and certain markets got 4x95.25mm setups. The standard steel wheels were usually paired with hubcaps or simple dog dish covers, giving the Cortina a clean but utilitarian look that matched its practical family car mission.
For your MK1 Cortina, VTO Wheels offers several compatible options in both 4x108mm and 4x95.25mm bolt patterns. Our 13x5.5, 13x6, and 14x6 sizes make perfect period-correct upgrades from those narrow factory steels, while our 15x6 and 15x7 options give you that classic European touring car vibe. With offsets ranging from -7mm to +38mm, you can dial in the perfect stance whether you're going for subtle or aggressive.
Ford's MK1 Cortina was Britain's answer to practical family motoring in the swinging sixties, becoming an instant hit and spawning legendary variants like the Lotus Cortina. These cars dominated European touring car racing and rally stages, cementing their place in motorsport history. Today, clean MK1s are increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate their simple engineering and timeless proportions.

Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What's the factory bolt pattern on a Ford Cortina MK1? | Most Ford Cortina MK1s used a 4x108mm bolt pattern, though some early models and certain markets came with 4x95.25mm. VTO Wheels stocks both bolt patterns, so we can accommodate any MK1 Cortina regardless of year or market. |
| What VTO Wheels sizes fit my Cortina MK1? | For stock replacement, our 13x5.5 and 13x6 wheels work perfectly. Popular upgrades include 14x5.5, 14x6, 15x6, and 15x7 sizes. The 15x6 and 15x7 options are especially popular for that classic European touring car look without going overboard on modern sizing. |
| Do I need hub-centric rings for VTO Wheels on my Cortina? | Most likely yes. Ford Cortina MK1s typically have a center bore around 63.4mm, while our wheels are manufactured with a larger universal center bore. We'll include the correct hub-centric rings with your wheel order to ensure proper fitment and eliminate vibration. |
| What offset should I run on my Cortina MK1? | For a stock appearance, stick with offsets between +20mm to +30mm.

Our offset range of -7mm to +38mm gives you plenty of options to achieve your desired look. |
