5×114.3 is the most common bolt pattern, used by 20.8% of the 9,701 vehicle variants in our fitment database, closely followed by 5×112 at 19.3%. Together those two patterns cover 40.1% of all entries, and 77.1% of entries use five lugs. Every figure on this page is counted directly from the open ANKUSI Wheel Fitment Dataset (version 2026.10.04), so anyone can download the file and reproduce the numbers.

The 10 most common bolt patterns
Share is the percentage of all 9,701 vehicle variants in the dataset. Each pattern links to the full list of vehicles that use it.
| Rank | Bolt pattern | Vehicle variants | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5×114.3 | 2,018 | 20.8% |
| 2 | 5×112 | 1,871 | 19.3% |
| 3 | 5×120 | 901 | 9.3% |
| 4 | 4×100 | 875 | 9.0% |
| 5 | 5×108 | 763 | 7.9% |
| 6 | 6×139.7 | 499 | 5.1% |
| 7 | 5×130 | 470 | 4.8% |
| 8 | 5×115 | 402 | 4.1% |
| 9 | 4×108 | 235 | 2.4% |
| 10 | 5×100 | 205 | 2.1% |
Counting each model name once instead of each model year changes the order at the top: 5×112 leads with 1,399 of 6,103 distinct models (22.9%), ahead of 5×114.3 with 1,261 (20.7%). 5×114.3 wins on variants because the models that use it tend to appear in more model years.
How many lugs do cars have?
Five-lug hubs dominate. Four-lug hubs are mostly small and older cars, and six- and eight-lug hubs are mostly trucks and body-on-frame SUVs.
| Lug count | Vehicle variants | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | 47 | 0.5% |
| 4 | 1,316 | 13.6% |
| 5 | 7,475 | 77.1% |
| 6 | 701 | 7.2% |
| 8 | 57 | 0.6% |
| 10 | 2 | 0.02% |
| Center-lock or not applicable | 103 | 1.1% |
Bolt pattern trends by decade
Each variant is assigned to the decade of its model year. The share is the percentage of that decade’s entries.
| Decade | Entries | Most common | Second | Third |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Before 1990 | 397 | 4×100 (20.9%) | 5×127 (8.6%) | 5×120.65 (8.1%) |
| 1990s | 385 | 4×100 (19.0%) | 5×115 (12.7%) | 5×112 (10.1%) |
| 2000s | 2,158 | 5×114.3 (18.3%) | 5×112 (15.1%) | 5×120 (10.7%) |
| 2010s | 3,015 | 5×114.3 (21.1%) | 5×112 (19.2%) | 5×120 (12.8%) |
| 2020s | 3,746 | 5×114.3 (25.3%) | 5×112 (24.1%) | 5×108 (11.3%) |
Three shifts stand out. The market is consolidating: 5×114.3 and 5×112 together account for 49.4% of 2020s entries, up from 33.4% in the 2000s. 4×100 has dropped from the most common pattern before 2000 to 5.5% of 2020s entries as small cars moved to five lugs. And 5×120 halved between the 2010s and the 2020s, which is consistent with BMW moving its newer platforms to 5×112.
The most common center bores
The dataset contains 69 distinct center bore sizes. Share is the percentage of all 9,701 variants; 47 variants have no published center bore.
| Rank | Center bore | Vehicle variants | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 66.6 mm | 1,203 | 12.4% |
| 2 | 60.1 mm | 882 | 9.1% |
| 3 | 67.1 mm | 840 | 8.7% |
| 4 | 57.1 mm | 766 | 7.9% |
| 5 | 65.1 mm | 549 | 5.7% |
| 6 | 54.1 mm | 546 | 5.6% |
| 7 | 71.6 mm | 468 | 4.8% |
| 8 | 70.3 mm | 448 | 4.6% |
| 9 | 72.6 mm | 439 | 4.5% |
| 10 | 63.4 mm | 402 | 4.1% |
Same bolt pattern, different hub
A matching bolt pattern does not guarantee that a wheel fits. The center bore has to match as well, and the most common patterns are each split across several bore sizes. These are the six most common bolt pattern and center bore combinations.
| Bolt pattern / center bore | Vehicle variants | Share of all variants |
|---|---|---|
| 5×112 / 66.6 mm | 1,149 | 11.8% |
| 5×114.3 / 67.1 mm | 702 | 7.2% |
| 5×112 / 57.1 mm | 521 | 5.4% |
| 5×120 / 72.6 mm | 428 | 4.4% |
| 5×114.3 / 60.1 mm | 408 | 4.2% |
| 5×130 / 71.6 mm | 380 | 3.9% |
Among 5×114.3 variants alone, 34.8% use a 67.1 mm bore, 20.2% use 60.1 mm and 14.4% use 66.1 mm. A wheel bored for the smaller hub will not seat on the larger one, which is why the bore should be checked together with the pattern. You can look up both for a specific car in the fitment guide. For the brands that share each hub, see the wheel interchange chart.
Bolt patterns by manufacturer
- 67 of 169 makes (39.6%) use one bolt pattern for every model in the dataset.
- Chevrolet has the most variety, with 16 distinct bolt patterns across its models and model years.
- Buick and Ford follow with 12 each, then Cadillac and Toyota with 10 each.
Methodology and limitations
The statistics are counted from version 2026.10.04 of the ANKUSI Wheel Fitment Dataset: 9,701 vehicle variants, 169 makes, 6,103 distinct model names, model years 1940 to 2027. One variant is one model in one model year, with its factory bolt pattern, center bore and lug count.
Please read the figures with these limits in mind:
- The shares describe model variants, not vehicles sold or vehicles on the road. A low-volume sports car counts the same as a best-selling sedan.
- Coverage is not even across manufacturers. The best-covered makes are Mercedes-Benz (699 variants), BMW (660), Toyota (477), Buick (462) and Geely (446), so patterns used by those makes are over-represented.
- Coverage is heavier for recent years: 3,746 variants are from the 2020s against 385 from the 1990s.
- The dataset includes tuner-built and regional models alongside mainstream ones.
