What bolt pattern is a Dodge Durango?

The Dodge Durango uses a five-lug wheel pattern, but the exact bolt circle depends on the model year. In short: pre-2011 Durangos commonly use 5x115 mm, while 2011-and-later Durangos use 5x127 mm. Always verify for your exact vehicle using the VIN, owner's manual, or a trusted parts database.


This article explains how the Durango's bolt pattern has evolved across generations, how to confirm the correct pattern for your vehicle, and what to consider when buying wheels or adapters.


Bolt pattern by generation


This section summarizes pattern changes by Durango generation so you can quickly identify the likely bolt circle for your year.


Pre-2011 Durangos (1998–2010)


Durangos built before the 2011 refresh typically use a five-lug bolt circle around 115 millimeters in diameter. Always confirm with your specific model year, as there can be variations by trim or regional specs.



  • 5 on 115 mm bolt circle (5x115)

  • Common on early Durango generations

  • Use this pattern for many pre-2011 models, but verify details for your exact vehicle


In general, if you own a Durango older than 2011, expect the 5x115 pattern as the most common configuration, though there are exceptions. Verifying ensures you don’t run into fitment issues when swapped wheels or tires are installed.


2011–present Durangos


Starting with the 2011 refresh, Durangos shifted to a 5-lug pattern of 127 millimeters in diameter. This aligns with the Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 platform and many aftermarket wheels built for 5x127.



  • 5 on 127 mm bolt circle (5x127)

  • Common on 2011–present Durango models

  • Also shared with the Jeep Grand Cherokee of the same generation


With the 2011–present Durango, the 5x127 bolt circle is now the standard, but always confirm your exact build since wheel options and trims can affect compatibility (center bore, offset, and brake caliper clearance matter too).


How to confirm your bolt pattern


Before buying wheels or adapters, verify the exact bolt pattern for your specific Durango. The following methods are reliable and practical.



  • Check the owner's manual or the wheel specification label on the driver's door jamb or inside the fuel filler area, which lists the bolt pattern.

  • Count lug studs and measure the diameter of the circle that passes through the centers of the lugs (center-to-center distance).

  • Use your VIN to pull official wheel specifications from a Dodge dealer or the manufacturer database.

  • Cross-check with reputable online parts catalogs using your year, make, model, and trim to confirm the pattern.


Once confirmed, also verify center bore and offset to ensure proper fitment and safe operation with new wheels or adapters.


Buying wheels or adapters: what to consider


When purchasing wheels or adapters, consider more than just the bolt pattern. Alignment with the hub and brake setup is critical for safety and performance.



  • Center bore compatibility: ensure the wheel's center bore matches or can be hub-centered with appropriate spacers or adapters.

  • Offset and width: select wheels that maintain proper clearance for brakes, suspension components, and fenders.

  • Thread size and torque: use correct lug nuts and torque specs for Durango's wheel studs.


Always prioritize correct fitment and consider professional installation if you’re unsure about offsets, spacers, or hub-centric requirements.


Summary


The Dodge Durango’s bolt pattern is generation-dependent: pre-2011 models typically use 5x115, while 2011 and newer models use 5x127. Always verify using official documentation or a trusted dealer database for your specific VIN, and account for center bore and offset when sourcing wheels or adapters.
