What is the bolt pattern on a sprinter?
Most Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans use a 5-lug bolt pattern on a 130-mm circle, written as 5x130. This includes the Dodge Sprinter variants that shared the same platform. There can be rare exceptions by year or market, so always verify for your specific vehicle.
In this article, we explain the standard pattern, how to measure yours, and what to check when selecting wheels or adapters for a Sprinter van. The goal is to help owners and buyers avoid mismatched wheels that could compromise safety or performance.
Common bolt pattern for Sprinter vans
Here is the most common bolt pattern you are likely to encounter on Sprinter vans.
- 5 lug holes on a 130-mm bolt circle (5x130).
In practice, this pattern covers the vast majority of MB Sprinter and Dodge Sprinter configurations. If you are working with a conversion, early model, or a market-specific variant, confirm with the dealer or the vehicle’s manual.
How to verify your Sprinter's bolt pattern
This quick check will help ensure you select the correct wheel pattern before buying wheels or adapters.
- Look for the number of lug holes on the wheel hub. Most Sprinters have five.
- Measure the center-to-center distance between two opposite lug holes to determine the bolt circle diameter. Use a ruler or caliper in millimeters; the expected result for a Sprinter is around 130 mm.
- Cross-check the vehicle’s manual, VIN-based specification, or a trusted dealer resource to confirm the pattern for your exact year and market.
If measurements or documentation differ from 5x130, do not force-fit aftermarket wheels. The wrong bolt pattern can lead to dangerous wheel detachment or vibration.
Additional considerations when swapping wheels
Even with the correct bolt pattern, other fitment factors matter for safety, performance, and clearance.
Hub bore and centering
The hub bore must accommodate the wheel’s center hole; if the bore is too large, hub-centric rings or a different wheel choice may be required to achieve proper centering.
- Center bore compatibility: The wheel’s center bore must fit the hub, or hub-centric rings are required.
Proper centering reduces run-out and vibration and helps ensure even wear.
Offset and clearance
Offset and width affect how far the wheel sits from the hub face and whether it clears brakes, suspension, and fenders.
- Offset (ET) and wheel width: Choose a wheel with a compatible offset to avoid rubbing or sticking out past the fender.
When in doubt, consult a professional installer or reference the vehicle’s OEM specifications for guidance on recommended offsets and widths.
Summary
The standard bolt pattern for most Sprinter vans is 5x130 (five lug holes on a 130-mm circle). Always verify this for your exact year and market, and consider hub bore, offset, and brake clearance when changing wheels. Accurate measurement and documentation help prevent compatibility issues and safety risks.
