What lug pattern is Acura?

The lug pattern, also known as the bolt pattern, refers to the arrangement and number of lug nuts or bolts used to secure a vehicle's wheels. Acura, a luxury automotive brand owned by Honda, has specific lug patterns for its various models. Understanding the Acura lug pattern is important for proper wheel and tire maintenance, as well as when replacing or upgrading wheels.


Acura Lug Pattern Specifications


Acura vehicles typically have one of two common lug patterns:



  • 5x114.3 mm (5x4.5 inches) lug pattern: This is the most common lug pattern found on Acura models, including the TLX, RDX, MDX, and others. The 5x114.3 mm pattern means there are 5 lug nuts or bolts, each spaced 114.3 mm (4.5 inches) apart in a circular arrangement.,li>
  • 5x120 mm (5x4.72 inches) lug pattern: Some Acura models, such as the NSX supercar, use this slightly larger lug pattern. The 5x120 mm pattern also has 5 lug nuts or bolts, but they are spaced 120 mm (4.72 inches) apart.,


It's important to note that the lug pattern is specific to the vehicle model and year, so it's crucial to verify the correct lug pattern for your Acura before purchasing replacement wheels or tires. Using the wrong lug pattern can result in improper wheel fitment and potential safety issues.


Importance of Proper Lug Pattern


The lug pattern is designed to ensure the wheels are securely attached to the vehicle's hubs, providing a stable and safe driving experience. Using the correct lug pattern is essential for the following reasons:



  • Wheel Fitment: The lug holes on the wheels must align perfectly with the lug studs on the vehicle's hubs to ensure a secure and stable connection.,

  • Wheel Balance and Vibration: Improper lug pattern can cause wheel imbalance, leading to excessive vibration and potential safety concerns.,

  • Wheel Retention: The lug nuts or bolts hold the wheels in place, and the correct lug pattern is essential for maintaining proper wheel retention and preventing wheel separation.li>

By understanding the specific lug pattern for your Acura model, you can ensure that any wheel or tire replacements or upgrades are compatible and safe to use.
