What is a Honda 5 lug bolt pattern?
The Honda five-lug bolt pattern most often refers to 5x114.3 mm (five bolts on a 114.3 mm circle). This is the standard for most modern Honda cars and SUVs, though some older or specialty models use different lug patterns.
In wheel terminology, the lug pattern (also called bolt pattern) specifies how many bolts and the diameter of the circle they form. For Honda, the widely used five-lug configuration is 114.3 mm, but you should verify your exact year and model because there are variations depending on vintage and market. Wheels must match both the lug count and the bolt circle diameter to fit safely.
Understanding lug patterns
A lug pattern describes two things: how many lug studs the wheel hub has (five in a typical Honda five-lug setup) and the bolt-circle diameter (the circle that passes through the centers of the lug holes). Matching both elements is essential for proper fit, clearance, and safety.
Common pattern used by Honda
The following is the overwhelmingly common five-lug pattern you’re most likely to encounter on Honda passenger cars and SUVs from recent decades. This helps you know what to expect when shopping for wheels or tires.
- 5x114.3 mm (5 on 114.3 mm circle, often written as 5x4.5 in) — the standard pattern for a wide range of modern Hondas, including many Civics, Accords, CR-Vs, and other models.
Note: There are exceptions by model and year; always confirm for your exact vehicle. If you’re unsure, check the owner’s manual, the sticker in the driver’s door jamb, or consult a reputable wheel retailer.
Model-year variations
Some older or niche Honda models (and certain regional market versions) may use different lug patterns. Always verify using official documentation or by measuring the hub pattern yourself to prevent compatibility issues when ordering wheels or adapters.
How to verify
To confirm your Honda’s lug pattern, count the lug studs (five for this pattern) and measure the distance between opposite studs to get the bolt-circle diameter. You can also reference the vehicle’s specification sheet, the service or owner’s manual, or the wheel-hub stamping. When shopping for aftermarket wheels, ensure the pattern and hub bore are compatible and that offset and clearance meet your vehicle’s requirements.
Summary
In practice, the Honda five-lug bolt pattern is typically 5x114.3 mm, which covers the majority of modern Honda models. However, always verify for your specific model and year, as there are variations. Accurate verification ensures safe fitment for replacements, upgrades, or upgrades involving spacers or adapters.
