6x135 Bolt Pattern

6x135 means 6 lugs evenly spaced on a 135 mm circle, 6x5.31 in inches. Adjacent lugs sit 67.5 mm (2.66 in) apart center to center. It is the factory pattern on Ford F-150, Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator.

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 6x135

With 6 holes every hole has one directly opposite it. Measure center to center across the circle and that number is the pitch circle diameter: 135 mm for 6x135. As a cross-check, two adjacent holes should be 67.5 mm apart (67.5 × 2 = 135, rounded).

You will also see 6x135 written as 6x5.3 or 6x5.31. Put your own measurement into the bolt pattern calculator to match it to the nearest standard pattern.

Where 6x135 is used

6x135 appears on 6 vehicles from 2 makes in this list: Ford accounts for 4 and Lincoln for 2. The earliest fitment here is the Ford Expedition from 2003, and 5 of the 6 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 6x135 itself, so check them per vehicle.

Frequently asked questions

What is 6x135 in inches?

6x135 is 6x5.31 in inches: 6 lugs on a 5.31 inch circle (135 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 6x135 bolt pattern?

Ford F-150 (2004+), Ford Expedition (2003+), Lincoln Navigator (2003+), Ford F-150 Raptor (2010+), Ford F-150 Lightning (2022+), Lincoln Mark LT (2006-2008). Always confirm on your own vehicle: the pattern can change between generations, trims and markets.

Is 6x135 the same as 6x139.7?

No. 6x139.7 is 4.7 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 6x135, or hub-centric wheels with wobble bolts made for that specific mismatch.
