What size bolt pattern does a Dodge have?

There isn’t a single bolt pattern for every Dodge. Most modern Dodge passenger cars use a five-lug design with common bolt circle diameters around 114.3 mm (4.5 inches) or 115 mm, but there are exceptions for trucks and older models. Always verify your exact vehicle’s bolt pattern from the manual or by checking the VIN.


Bolt pattern basics


A bolt pattern (also called bolt circle diameter) specifies how many lug holes a wheel has and the diameter of the circle that passes through the centers of those holes. It, along with thread size and center bore, determines whether a wheel will mount properly on a vehicle. For Dodges, the number of lugs is most often five, but some trucks and specialty models use different configurations.


Common patterns you may encounter on Dodge vehicles


The patterns listed here cover the patterns most frequently seen on Dodge passenger cars in recent years. There are exceptions, especially for trucks and some older models.



  • 5x114.3 mm (5x4.5 inches) — a widely used pattern on many Dodge cars and crossovers.

  • 5x115 mm — used on certain Dodge models in the LX platform family and related vehicles; not universal.


When shopping for wheels, it’s essential to confirm the exact bolt pattern for your specific model and year, as variations exist within the Dodge lineup.


How to confirm your Dodge's bolt pattern


Use these steps to identify the exact specification for your vehicle:



  1. Check the owner’s manual or the official build data for your VIN (many dealers can pull this from the VIN).

  2. Inspect the door jamb sticker near the driver’s door—many vehicles list wheel and lug information there, including the bolt pattern.

  3. Measure the bolt circle diameter yourself if needed: measure from the center of one lug hole to the center of the hole directly opposite it, across the wheel.

  4. Count the number of lug holes; five lugs are most common on Dodges, but some trucks may use six or more.

  5. Also verify thread size and center bore, since these affect compatibility with aftermarket wheels even if the bolt pattern matches.


If you’re unsure, consult a dealer or a reputable wheel retailer and provide your vehicle’s VIN to obtain the exact specification for your model and year.


Summary


In short, Dodge does not have a single universal bolt pattern. The most common patterns for modern Dodge passenger cars are 5x114.3 mm and 5x115 mm, but there are exceptions across different models and years. Always verify the exact bolt pattern (and related specs like thread size and center bore) for your specific Dodge by consulting the manual, sticker data, or a dealership/parts professional. This careful check helps ensure proper wheel fitment and safety.

What is the bolt pattern on a 5 lug Dodge Ram?


The 5-lug bolt pattern for Dodge Ram 1500 trucks is 5x5.5 inches (or 5x139.7 mm) for the model years 1994 through 2018. It's important to note that the 2019 and newer Ram 1500 models switched to a different 6-lug bolt pattern, so a 5-lug pattern will not fit these newer vehicles.

2019–Current 6x5.5" (or 6x139.7 mm)
