Bolt Patterns
The bolt pattern is comprised of two numbers - the first indicates how many bolt holes are on the wheel, and the other describes how far apart they are. A bolt pattern of 5-115mm would mean the wheel has five bolt holes and they are 115mm apart (measured across the center of the wheel).

We sell wheels with 4, 5, 6, and 8 bolt applications:

4-lug example 5-lug example
6-lug example 8-lug example
Dual Bolt Pattern: More and more manufacturers are building their wheels with two bolt patterns. This expands the number of fitments the wheel applies to. For example: a wheel with a 4-100/114.3 bolt pattern has 8 lug holes and will fit both 4-100mm and 4-114.3mm fitments. Dual Bolt Example
Measuring your Bolt Pattern
Measuring the 4, 6 and 8-bolt patterns: They are measured from the center of one lug hole to the center of the opposite hole.

Measuring a 5-bolt pattern: A 5-bolt pattern is very difficult to measure without using a bolt pattern gauge. Basically, you would measure the diameter of a circle that crosses through the center of the lug holes. This method is not recommended to confirm wheel fitment.
