What is the Acura lug pattern?
The typical Acura lug pattern is 5 lug bolts on a 114.3 mm bolt circle (5x114.3).
Across the modern Acura lineup, the wheel mounting standard is predominantly 5x114.3 for recent models, though there are rare exceptions by model year or regional specification. This article explains what that means, how to verify your exact vehicle, and why it matters for wheels and tires.
Understanding lug patterns
Lug pattern, or bolt pattern, describes how many lug studs a wheel uses and the diameter of the circle that passes through their centers. For most Acura vehicles, the standard configuration is five lugs on a 114.3 mm circle, written as 5x114.3 or 5-114.3.
What 5x114.3 means
5x114.3 means five wheel studs arranged on a circle with a 114.3 mm diameter. This is equivalent to five bolts on a 4.5-inch bolt circle and is the common specification you’ll see on Acura cars and SUVs manufactured in the late 1990s through today.
Common Acura lug pattern across the lineup
Across most modern Acura models—sedans, SUVs, and crossovers—the lug pattern is 5x114.3. This alignment is compatible with a large ecosystem of aftermarket wheels designed for 5 on 4.5 inches. Some very early or niche variants may differ, so it’s always best to verify for your specific year and model.
Exceptions and how to verify
While the 5x114.3 pattern covers the majority of Acura vehicles, there are rare exceptions depending on the model year, market, or special edition. The most reliable way to confirm is to check the vehicle’s official specifications from the owner’s manual or the door jamb/sticker, or to query Acura’s parts catalog using your VIN.
How to confirm your lug pattern
To verify quickly, use these checks:
- Look for a wheel pattern label on the door jamb, inside the fuel-filler door, or in the glove box; it may list the pattern (for example, “5-114.3”).
- Consult the owner’s manual or the service manual for wheel and lug details.
- Ask a dealer or reputable tire/wheel shop and provide your VIN to pull the exact specification.
These steps help ensure you order wheels, adapters, or spacers that are compatible with your Acura’s lug pattern.
Summary
Most Acura vehicles use a 5x114.3 lug pattern (five lugs on a 114.3 mm bolt circle). While this covers the vast majority of models from the late 1990s onward, always verify for your exact year and trim because rare exceptions can occur. When in doubt, consult official manuals or a dealer to confirm before purchasing wheels.
