A bolt pattern (PCD — pitch circle diameter) describes the number of wheel bolts and the diameter of the circle they form. For example, 5x112 means 5 bolts on a 112 mm circle. The bolt pattern must match exactly before mounting any wheel. ## Measure a bolt circle from adjacent studs Use the centre-to-centre distance between two neighbouring, equally spaced studs to estimate PCD. Stud count 3 4 5 6 7 8 Adjacent centre distance mm Adjacent centre distance mm in ### Calculated PCD 5 x 114.33 mm 4.5 in ### Closest listed pattern [5x114.3](https://tirefitlab.com/learn/bolt-pattern/5x114-3/) Measurement difference: 0.03 mm ### How to measure - Measure from the centre of one stud to the centre of the next stud. - Keep the ruler or caliper straight across the two centres. - Repeat the measurement and compare the result with the wheel and vehicle documentation. A matching PCD does not verify centre bore, offset, fasteners, brake clearance or vehicle approval. | Bolt pattern | Bolts | PCD (mm) | Common makes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [4x98](https://tirefitlab.com/learn/bolt-pattern/4x98/) | 4 | 98 | Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia | | [4x100](https://tirefitlab.com/learn/bolt-pattern/4x100/) | 4 | 100 | Volkswagen, Audi, Toyota, Honda, Opel, Mazda, Skoda, Seat | | [4x108](https://tirefitlab.com/learn/bolt-pattern/4x108/) | 4 | 108 | Ford, Peugeot, Citroën, Renault | | [4x114.3](https://tirefitlab.com/learn/bolt-pattern/4x114-3/) | 4 | 114.3 | Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mitsubishi, Nissan | | [5x98](https://tirefitlab.com/learn/bolt-pattern/5x98/) | 5 | 98 | Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Lancia | | [5x100](https://tirefitlab.com/learn/bolt-pattern/5x100/) | 5 | 100 | Volkswagen, Audi, Subaru, Toyota, Skoda, Seat | | [5x108](https://tirefitlab.com/learn/bolt-pattern/5x108/) | 5 | 108 | Ford, Peugeot, Citroën, Volvo, Jaguar, Land Rover | | [5x110](https://tirefitlab.com/learn/bolt-pattern/5x110/) | 5 | 110 | Opel, Vauxhall, Saab, Alfa Romeo, Fiat | | [5x112](https://tirefitlab.com/learn/bolt-pattern/5x112/) | 5 | 112 | Volkswagen, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Skoda, Seat, Porsche | | [5x114.3](https://tirefitlab.com/learn/bolt-pattern/5x114-3/) | 5 | 114.3 | Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Mazda, Ford, Jeep | | [5x115](https://tirefitlab.com/learn/bolt-pattern/5x115/) | 5 | 115 | Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, Pontiac | | [5x120](https://tirefitlab.com/learn/bolt-pattern/5x120/) | 5 | 120 | BMW, Land Rover, Volkswagen Transporter | | [5x127](https://tirefitlab.com/learn/bolt-pattern/5x127/) | 5 | 127 | Jeep, Ram, Chrysler, Dodge | | [5x130](https://tirefitlab.com/learn/bolt-pattern/5x130/) | 5 | 130 | Porsche, Mercedes-Benz Sprinter | | [6x114.3](https://tirefitlab.com/learn/bolt-pattern/6x114-3/) | 6 | 114.3 | Nissan, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Isuzu | | [6x139.7](https://tirefitlab.com/learn/bolt-pattern/6x139-7/) | 6 | 139.7 | Toyota, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Ford, Chevrolet | Seasonal check ## Planning a long summer drive? Use the budget and running-cost tools before a trip, especially if the current tires are worn or the replacement size changes diameter.
