Bolt pattern guide
What is a wheel bolt pattern?
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.
- Calculated PCD
- 5x114.33 mm 4.5 in
- Closest listed 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.

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.
