What is the bolt pattern on a Honda?

There isn’t a single bolt pattern that covers every Honda. In general, Honda vehicles use one of two patterns depending on the model and year: 4 wheels with 100 mm bolt circle or 5 wheels with a 114.3 mm bolt circle. The exact pattern for your car should be confirmed for your specific model and production year.


In practice, the bolt pattern is a key compatibility detail alongside wheel size, center bore and offset. Because Honda’s lineup spans compact cars, sedans, SUVs and performance models, the wheel mounting pattern varies across generations and trim levels. Always verify with official specs or a reliable compatibility resource for your exact vehicle.


Common bolt patterns used by Honda


Use this as a quick reference to the two most typical bolt patterns found across Honda’s lineup. Remember that exceptions exist, so verify for your specific vehicle.



  • 4x100 mm (4 on 100 mm) — a common pattern on many of Honda’s smaller cars and older generations.

  • 5x114.3 mm (5 on 114.3 mm) — widely used on many of Honda’s larger models, including mid-size sedans, SUVs, and performance cars.


Concluding the list: Always confirm the exact bolt pattern for your particular Honda model and year before purchasing wheels or adapters, as mistmatched patterns can compromise safety and fitment.


How to verify your bolt pattern


These steps help you confirm the correct bolt pattern for your Honda:



  1. Check the vehicle’s owner’s manual or the manufacturer’s specifications for the exact bolt pattern.

  2. If you can’t access the manual, measure the bolt circle diameter (the distance across the center of opposite lug holes) and count the number of lug holes.

  3. Confirm the measurement corresponds to either 4x100 mm or 5x114.3 mm (or another pattern listed for your model).

  4. Verify related details such as center bore size and lug nut seat type, since these also affect compatibility.

  5. Use a reputable wheel compatibility database or consult a tire/wheel professional with your year, make, and model.


Concluding: Getting the bolt pattern right is essential for safe installation and proper wheel fitment; when in doubt, consult official specs or a wheel specialist.


Summary


In short, Honda vehicles typically use either 4x100 mm or 5x114.3 mm bolt patterns, with the exact pattern varying by model and year. Always verify your specific car’s bolt pattern through official documentation or a trusted source before purchasing wheels.

What cars have a 5x112 bolt pattern?


Cars with a 5x112 bolt pattern include many models from Audi, Volkswagen, and Mercedes-Benz, such as the Audi A4, VW Golf, and Mercedes C-Class. Other brands like BMW (on many newer models), Porsche (Macan), and some Ford and Seat vehicles also use this common bolt pattern.
 
Audi

  • A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8
  • Q3, Q5, Q7
  • R8, S3, S4, S5, S6, S7, S8, TT 

Volkswagen
  • Atlas, Beetle, CC, Golf, GTI, Jetta, Passat, Tiguan 
  • Many newer VW models, especially since the MK5 Golf, use this pattern 

Mercedes-Benz
  • C-Class, E-Class, S-Class
  • CLA, CLS, GLA, GLC, GLE, GLK
  • A-Class, G-Class 

BMW
  • Many newer models, particularly those with shared platforms, such as the 2020-2024 5 Series and some i models 
  • Note: Some older BMWs use the 5x120 pattern. 

Other manufacturers
  • Porsche: Macan
  • Ford: Galaxy (some models)
  • Seat: Altea, Leon, Toledo
  • Alfa Romeo: Alfa 6
  • Aiways: U5, U6 



What is the bolt pattern on a Honda 5 lug?


Most modern 5-lug Honda vehicles use a 5x114.3 mm (or 5x4.5") bolt pattern, including models like the Accord, Civic (non-Type R), and CR-V. Some larger SUVs and performance models like the Type-R may use a 5x120 mm bolt pattern, so it is crucial to verify your specific vehicle's requirements before purchasing new wheels.

Common Honda 5-lug patterns 

  • 5x114.3 mm (5x4.5"): This is the most common 5-lug pattern for many Honda models, such as the Accord, Civic (non-Type R), and CR-V. 
  • 5x120 mm: This pattern is found on some larger vehicles like the Odyssey, Pilot, and Ridgeline, as well as performance models like the Civic Type-R. 

Important considerations
  • Verify your specific vehicle: Always confirm the bolt pattern for your exact year, make, and model before buying wheels. 
  • Check for compatibility: A slight difference in the bolt pattern (e.g., 5x114.3 mm vs. 5x115 mm) can make wheels incompatible and dangerous to install. 
  • Consider center bore: All modern 5-lug Hondas have a 64.1mm center bore, which is important for wheel fitment.

Are all Honda bolt patterns the same?


No, not all Hondas have the same bolt pattern, as it varies by model and year. While many modern Honda cars like the Civic and Accord share a 5x114.3mm pattern, models like the Civic Type R and larger SUVs and trucks often use a 5x120mm pattern. Some older or smaller models also use a 4x100mm pattern. 
Common Honda bolt patterns

  • 5x114.3mm: This is a very common pattern for many modern Honda models, including the Civic (since 2006), Accord (since 2003), CR-V, Pilot, and Odyssey. 
  • 5x120mm: Used on specific performance models, such as the Civic Type R, and larger vehicles like the Pilot and Ridgeline. 
  • 4x100mm: Found on older or smaller models like some older Civic generations, the Fit, and the CRX. 

Other factors to consider
  • Center bore: Even if the bolt pattern matches, the center bore (the hole in the wheel that fits over the hub) can be different. A mismatched center bore can cause issues, and you may need to use hub-centric rings to compensate. 
  • Offset: The offset is the distance from the wheel's mounting surface to the center of the wheel and affects how the wheel sits in the fender well. 
  • Lug nuts: Honda models also use different lug nut sizes, so it is important to check that your new wheel's lug nut size is compatible with your vehicle's lug nuts. 



What Honda has a 4x100 bolt pattern?


Compatibility and Suitability: The 4x100 bolt pattern is predominantly found in compact and subcompact Honda models, such as older Civic models, the Fit, CRX, Insight, Del Sol, Prelude, and City.
