What lug pattern is Volvo?
Volvo’s typical lug pattern is a 5-lug configuration on a 108 mm bolt circle (5x108) with a 65.1 mm center bore. This pattern covers most modern Volvo models, but always verify for your exact year and model, as exceptions can exist.
Understanding the bolt pattern and why it matters
A lug pattern describes how many lug holes a wheel has and the diameter of the circle those holes form. For Volvo, the standard arrangement on most contemporary vehicles is five lug holes arranged on a 108 mm circle, paired with a 65.1 mm hub bore. Getting this right is essential for safe mounting, proper alignment, and avoiding vibration or clearance issues.
Specifics you should know
Two key numbers define any wheel fitment: the number of lug holes and the bolt circle diameter (BCD). On Volvo passenger cars, this is most often 5 lugs and 108 mm, with a 65.1 mm center bore. Always confirm these details for your exact model and production year before purchasing wheels or adapters.
How to verify your Volvo’s lug pattern
To ensure you have the correct specification for wheels and rims, use these practical steps. This list helps you confirm the pattern with reliable sources and measurements.
- Check the owner's manual or Volvo's official specifications for your exact year and model; these documents list the wheel pattern details.
- Look at the wheel hub in your car and count the number of lug holes. Most modern Volvos use five.
- Measure the bolt circle diameter (BCD) by measuring the distance between the centers of opposite lug holes and doubling that measurement. For Volvo, this is typically 108 mm.
- Measure the center bore diameter on the hub or consult the manual; most Volvos use a 65.1 mm bore. Hub-centric rings may be needed for aftermarket wheels if there is a diameter mismatch.
- If you’re unsure or dealing with a less-common model, contact a Volvo dealer or a reputable wheel specialist for confirmation.
Following these steps will help you confirm a 5x108 pattern with a 65.1 mm center bore, or identify any deviations for unusual configurations or older models.
Summary
The standard Volvo lug pattern for most modern vehicles is 5x108 with a 65.1 mm center bore. Always verify for your specific model and year, and consult official specs or a dealership if you have any doubts to ensure safe and proper wheel fitment.
What is the Volvo lug pattern?
The bolt pattern or bolt circle is the diameter of an imaginary circle formed by the centers of the wheel lugs. Most Volvos* use a bolt pattern of 5 on 4.25 inch (108mm). This indicates a 5-lug pattern on a 4.25 inch circle, which is pretty much unique to Volvo.
Are all Volvo wheels 5x108?
5x108 is the bolt pattern that Volvo has used on most of its cars since the 60's beginning with the 140 and 160 models, with just a few exceptions including some early 850 models and 1st generation S/V40s. Not many manufacturers use this bolt pattern on their cars, at least in the United States.
