GarageCalc Where 5x112 is used
5x112 appears on 28 vehicles from 8 makes in this list: Audi accounts for 8, Volkswagen for 6 and Mercedes-Benz for 5. The earliest fitment here is the Mercedes-Benz E-Class from 1985, and 28 of the 28 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 5x112 itself, so check them per vehicle.
Frequently asked questions
What is 5x112 in inches?
5x112 is 5x4.41 in inches: 5 lugs on a 4.41 inch circle (112 mm divided by 25.4). It is the same pattern in different units, but this one is almost always written in millimeters; the inch figure only shows up in conversion charts.
What cars have a 5x112 bolt pattern?
Volkswagen Golf (2004+), Audi A4 (1996+), Mercedes-Benz C-Class (1993+), Skoda Octavia (2004+), BMW 3 Series (2019+), Audi A3 (2004+), Audi A5 (2008+), Audi A6 (1994+), Audi Q3 (2011+), Audi Q5 (2009+), Audi Q7 (2016+), Audi TT (2007+), and 16 more in the table on this page. Always confirm on your own vehicle: the pattern can change between generations, trims and markets.
Is 5x112 the same as 5x110?
No. 5x110 is 2 mm smaller 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 5x112, or hub-centric wheels with wobble bolts made for that specific mismatch.
