PatternDifferenceVerdict
5x135 4.7 mm smaller Not interchangeable

Even a 0.7 mm mismatch (5x114.3 against 5x115) puts every lug off-center in its hole, so the lug seats carry the wheel on a sliver of contact and the wheel can loosen. The only accepted workaround for a small mismatch is wobble bolts on a hub-centric wheel, and only for the specific pair of patterns the bolts are made for. Everything else is a different pattern.

How to measure 5x139.7

With 5 holes no hole sits directly opposite another, so you cannot measure straight across the circle. Measure center to center between two adjacent holes and multiply by 1.7013: 82.11 × 1.7013 = 139.7 mm (rounded). Measuring from the back edge of one hole to the center of the next gives the same number. If you get about 82.11 mm, you have 5x139.7.

You will also see 5x139.7 written as 5x140 or 5x5.5. Put your own measurement into the bolt pattern calculator to match it to the nearest standard pattern.

Where 5x139.7 is used

5x139.7 appears on 13 vehicles from 8 makes in this list: Suzuki accounts for 4, Ford for 3 and Ram for 1. The earliest fitment here is the Ford Bronco from 1966, and none of the listed models still use it, so this is a pattern you meet on used vehicles.

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 5x139.7 itself, so check them per vehicle.

Frequently asked questions

What is 5x139.7 in inches?

5x139.7 is 5x5.5 in inches: 5 lugs on a 5.5 inch circle (139.7 mm divided by 25.4). It is the same pattern in different units, and 5x5.5 is how US wheel listings usually label it.

What cars have a 5x139.7 bolt pattern?

Suzuki Jimny, Ram 1500 (1994-2024), Suzuki Grand Vitara (1999-2005), Ford F-150 (1973-1996), Ford Bronco (1966-1996), Ford E-150, Dodge Durango (1998-2009), Chrysler Aspen (2007-2009), Jeep CJ-5 / CJ-7, Kia Sorento (2003-2009), Suzuki Samurai (1985-1995), Suzuki Sidekick / Vitara (1988-1998), and 1 more in the table on this page. Always confirm on your own vehicle: the pattern can change between generations, trims and markets.

Is 5x139.7 the same as 5x135?

No. 5x135 is 4.7 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 5x139.7, or hub-centric wheels with wobble bolts made for that specific mismatch.
