Bolt Pattern Calculator

Measure the center-to-center distance between two adjacent lug holes and this calculator gives you the pitch circle diameter (PCD), matched to the nearest standard bolt pattern.

How the calculation works

The lug holes sit on an imaginary circle called the pitch circle. The distance between two adjacent holes is a chord of that circle, so the diameter follows from simple geometry: PCD = distance / sin(180 / n), where n is the number of lugs. For 5 lugs that works out to the adjacent distance multiplied by 1.7013.

Pitch circle diameter
distance ÷ sin(180° ÷ lugs)
Multiplier for this lug count
1 ÷ sin(180° ÷ lugs)

Before you buy wheels

Bolt pattern is the first of four checks. The wheel also needs a compatible center bore, a safe offset, and clearance for your tires. Run the numbers with the wheel offset calculator and the tire size comparison calculator before ordering.

Frequently asked questions

What does a bolt pattern like 5x114.3 mean?

The first number is the number of lug holes. The second is the pitch circle diameter (PCD) in millimeters: the diameter of an imaginary circle drawn through the center of every lug hole. So 5x114.3 means five lugs on a 114.3 mm circle.

How do I measure a 5 lug bolt pattern?

With an odd number of lugs you cannot simply measure across the circle. Measure the center-to-center distance between two adjacent lug holes, then use this calculator: for 5 lugs the PCD equals that distance multiplied by 1.7013. For 4, 6 or 8 lugs you can also measure directly across from the center of one hole to the center of the opposite hole: that distance is the PCD itself.

Can I fit a 5x114.3 wheel on a 5x112 hub?

Not directly, and adapters that make it possible add complexity and risk. A 1.3 mm mismatch may look tiny, but the lugs will not seat properly and the wheel can work loose. Only fit wheels whose bolt pattern exactly matches your hub, or use quality hub-centric adapters rated for your vehicle.

Is bolt pattern the only thing that decides if a wheel fits?

No. A wheel must also match your center bore (or use hub-centric rings), have an offset that clears the suspension and fenders, and use the correct lug seat type (conical, ball or flat). Bolt pattern is only the first check.
