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.
