The hubcaps (wheel covers) on a 2010 Ford Fusion depend on the wheel type installed. In general, 16-inch hubcaps are used with 16-inch steel wheels, while trims with alloy wheels do not use hubcaps at all. Some options may include 17-inch alloy wheels, which also do not use hubcaps.
Wheel configurations in the 2010 Fusion
The following breakdown explains how hubcaps relate to common trims and wheel options for that model year.
Note: Hubcaps fit only on steel wheels. Alloy wheels are typically not covered by a separate hubcap. The size refers to the wheel diameter, not the tire. To confirm for your specific car, check the door placard or the VIN-based build sheet.
- 2010 Fusion S: 16-inch steel wheels with wheel covers (hubcaps) sized 16 inches in diameter.
- 2010 Fusion SE/SEL: typically equipped with 16-inch alloy wheels; these do not use hubcaps. Some SE/SEL configurations offered 17-inch alloy wheels, which also do not use hubcaps.
- 2010 Fusion Hybrid: commonly 16-inch alloy wheels; no hubcaps.
Conclusion: If your vehicle has steel wheels, you’ll have 16-inch hubcaps. If it uses alloy wheels, there are no hubcaps to replace or measure. Always verify with the door placard or dealer for your exact build.
How to verify the wheel size on your car
To be certain about the exact hubcap size for your specific vehicle, use these steps to verify:
- Check the driver's door jamb for a tire/wheel placard that lists the wheel size (e.g., 16x6.5J). This indicates the diameter of the hubcap if steel wheels are used.
- Inspect the wheel itself: a separate decorative cover over a steel wheel indicates a hubcap; a solid alloy wheel without a cover means there is no hubcap.
- Consult your vehicle’s VIN or the window sticker/dealer database to confirm the exact trim and wheel type for your car.
Bottom line: For a 2010 Ford Fusion, 16-inch hubcaps apply to models with steel wheels (S trim commonly). Alloy-wheel versions (SE, SEL, Hybrid) do not use hubcaps, and some options may have larger 17-inch wheels that also lack hubcaps. Verify with official documentation for your specific vehicle.
Summary
In short, the hubcap size on a 2010 Ford Fusion is 16 inches when the car rides on steel wheels (typical of the S trim). Trims with alloy wheels—SE, SEL, and Hybrid—do not use hubcaps. Some configurations may feature 17-inch alloy wheels, which also do not use hubcaps. Always confirm via the door placard or a dealer using your VIN.
