GarageCalc Where 5x120 is used
5x120 appears on 26 vehicles from 12 makes in this list: BMW accounts for 7, Land Rover for 4 and Honda for 3. The earliest fitment here is the BMW 5 Series from 1988, and 9 of the 26 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 5x120 itself, so check them per vehicle.
Frequently asked questions
What is 5x120 in inches?
5x120 is 5x4.72 in inches: 5 lugs on a 4.72 inch circle (120 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 5x120 bolt pattern?
BMW 3 Series (1992-2018), Land Rover Range Rover (2003-2021), Tesla Model S (2012+), Volkswagen Transporter T5 / T6 (2003+), BMW 5 Series (1988-2016), Tesla Model X (2016+), Chevrolet Camaro (2010+), Cadillac CTS (2008-2019), Cadillac ATS (2013-2019), Land Rover Discovery 3 / 4 / 5 (2004+), Land Rover Range Rover Sport (2005-2022), Land Rover Defender (2020+), and 14 more in the table on this page. Always confirm on your own vehicle: the pattern can change between generations, trims and markets.
Is 5x120 the same as 5x120.65?
No. 5x120.65 is 0.65 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 5x120, or hub-centric wheels with wobble bolts made for that specific mismatch.
