GarageCalc Where 5x108 is used
5x108 appears on 24 vehicles from 5 makes in this list: Ford accounts for 10, Volvo for 5 and Jaguar for 3. The earliest fitment here is the Ford Mondeo from 2000, and 15 of the 24 are still built with this pattern today.
What else has to match
A matching bolt pattern is the first of four checks, not the last. The wheel's center bore has to match the hub, or be bridged with a hub-centric ring, so the hub carries the wheel instead of the studs. The offset decides whether the tire clears the suspension and stays inside the fender; run the numbers in the wheel offset calculator before buying. And the lug seats must match the wheel: conical, ball or flat seats are not interchangeable even when the thread is. None of those values are fixed by 5x108 itself, so check them per vehicle.
Frequently asked questions
What is 5x108 in inches?
5x108 is 5x4.25 in inches: 5 lugs on a 4.25 inch circle (108 mm divided by 25.4). It is the same pattern in different units, and 5x4.25 is how US wheel listings usually label it.
What cars have a 5x108 bolt pattern?
Ford Focus (2005-2025), Volvo XC60 (2009+), Jaguar XF (2008-2024), Ford Mondeo (2000-2022), Volvo S60 / V60 (2001+), Volvo V70 / XC70 (2000-2016), Jaguar XE (2015-2024), Peugeot 308 (2014+), Peugeot 508 (2011+), Peugeot 3008 (2009+), Ford Fusion (2013-2020), Ford Escape (2013-2025), and 12 more in the table on this page. Always confirm on your own vehicle: the pattern can change between generations, trims and markets.
Is 5x108 the same as 5x110?
No. 5x110 is 2 mm larger in diameter. That is enough to seat every lug off-center, so the wheel is held by the lug hardware rather than by matching geometry and can work loose. Fit only wheels that are exactly 5x108, or hub-centric wheels with wobble bolts made for that specific mismatch.
