About This Ford Fusion SE 2013 Build
We love featuring real builds from real owners. This Ford Fusion SE 2013 sits on a set of 19×8.5 / 19×8.5-inch Savini Black Di Forza wheels, and the result speaks for itself.
The owner chose Savini for a reason. This brand delivers serious quality and a design language that turns heads at every car meet. We see hundreds of Ford Fusion SE builds come through WheelFront every month, but this one stands out. The combination of the exterior with the Savini Black Di Forza creates a look that balances aggression with elegance.
Fitment Breakdown: Savini Black Di Forza on the Ford Fusion SE 2013
I walked around this Fusion for twenty minutes straight at the meet. Putting a 19x8.5 setup on the 2013 chassis changes everything about the car's presence. The 35 offset pushes the wheel right out to the edge of the fender line.
That 35 offset is aggressive for a Fusion. It fills the void perfectly without sticking out like a truck. You get a flush look that most stock setups completely miss.
The Savini Black Di Forza design clears the stock calipers with ease. We checked the barrel clearance and it feels solid. You do not need any spacers to run this specific configuration.
The 8.5-inch width keeps the steering feel sharp and responsive. Wider wheels usually add too much weight, but this setup feels balanced. It does not tram-line or pull hard on highway grooves.
Let’s talk about that fender gap. The owner dropped this on coilovers, which solves the massive factory wheel gap. If you run this exact setup at stock height, it will look like a roller skate.
Watch your inner clearance on the front struts. The 35 offset is right on the edge of the suspension housing. We did not hear any rubbing during our test drive, but keep an eye on your lock-to-lock clearance.
The hub bore sits perfectly on the Fusion hub. We hate using hub-centric rings when we can avoid them. These wheels mount up tight and true.
What We Recommend for Ford Fusion SE 2013 Owners
If you want to replicate this build, do not deviate from the 8.5-inch width. Anything wider requires aggressive fender rolling that kills the clean body lines. Stick to a 19-inch diameter for the best visual pop.
Aim for an offset between 35 and 40. The 35 offset used here is the absolute limit for a flush look. Anything lower than 35 will poke out and likely rub your liners.
Skip the staggered setups on this platform. The Fusion handles best with a square configuration. It makes tire rotations simple and keeps your traction control happy.
Do not cheap out on your rubber. We recommend a 235/40/19 tire to match these Savini wheels. It provides enough sidewall to protect the rim from potholes while keeping the look tight.
Avoid buying wheels with a high positive offset. You will end up running giant spacers to make them look good. Spacers add vibration and unnecessary stress to your wheel bearings.
Style and Build Analysis
The silver finish on these Savinis pops against the Fusion’s paint. It is a classy, metallic glow that feels much more expensive than a flat grey. It captures the light perfectly as the car rolls into the parking lot.
Savini’s spoke design keeps the wheel from looking too heavy. It creates a nice open look that highlights the disc brakes behind the face. This design creates a sense of speed even when the car sits still.
The stance is aggressive but avoids the "race car" caricature. It looks like a factory performance model that somehow skipped the production line. That is the gold standard for a daily driver.
I have seen hundreds of modified Fusions, but this one hits differently. Many owners go for dark wheels that disappear into the shadows. This silver setup actually celebrates the geometry of the wheel design.
The proportions remain balanced from every angle. The 19s occupy the wheel well without swallowing it whole. It creates a cohesive package that looks finished rather than like a weekend project.
Why We Love This Build
This Fusion stands out because it respects the original design while elevating the entire profile. The silver Savinis catch the sun and provide a crisp, clean contrast that draws your eye immediately. Every time the car rolls forward, the spokes blur into a perfect metallic disc.
We love this build because it feels intentional. It proves that you do not need a wild body kit to make a sedan look aggressive. This car proves that the right offset and a proper coilover drop make all the difference in the world.
You cannot look at this setup and not want to grab your keys. It turns a standard commuter into a legitimate head-turner. Go find your set of Savinis and get to work.

Before You Buy: Fitment Checklist
We talk to Ford Fusion SE owners every day. These are the questions we hear most before they pull the trigger on new wheels.
Will 19×8.5 / 19×8.5-inch wheels fit my Ford Fusion SE? Yes, but fitment depends on width, offset, and tire size working together. A wrong offset means rubbing. A wrong tire size means poor handling. Always verify all three.
Do I need to modify my fenders? That depends on your offset and suspension. A conservative offset with stock ride height usually fits without modification. Go aggressive and you may need to roll or pull your fenders.
Can I daily-drive this setup? Absolutely. Thousands of Ford Fusion SE owners run 19×8.5 / 19×8.5-inch wheels every day. The key is choosing the right tire with enough sidewall to absorb road imperfections.
