Are Ford and Dodge 5 lug the same size?

The short answer is no, Ford and Dodge 5 lug patterns are not the same size. The 5 lug patterns used on Ford and Dodge vehicles have different bolt circle diameters, which means the wheel bolt holes are spaced differently.


Explaining the Differences


The 5 lug pattern is a common wheel bolt pattern used on many trucks, SUVs, and some cars. However, the specific dimensions of the 5 lug pattern can vary between different vehicle manufacturers.


The key difference between Ford and Dodge 5 lug patterns is the bolt circle diameter (BCD), which is the measurement of the imaginary circle formed by the center of the wheel bolts. Ford 5 lug patterns typically have a BCD of 4.5 inches (114.3 mm), while Dodge 5 lug patterns have a BCD of 5 inches (127 mm).


This means that the wheel bolt holes are spaced further apart on Dodge vehicles compared to Ford vehicles with the same 5 lug pattern. As a result, Ford and Dodge wheels are not interchangeable, as the bolt holes will not line up correctly.


Other 5 Lug Patterns


It's important to note that the 5 lug pattern is not exclusive to Ford and Dodge. Other manufacturers, such as Toyota, Nissan, and Honda, also use 5 lug patterns, but with different BCDs. For example, Toyota 5 lug patterns typically have a BCD of 4.5 inches (114.3 mm), the same as Ford, while Nissan and Honda 5 lug patterns often have a BCD of 4.75 inches (120.65 mm).


When replacing wheels or tires, it's crucial to ensure that the new components match the specific 5 lug pattern and BCD of your vehicle to ensure a proper and safe fit.
