Truck Wheels and Bolt Patterns

9th Aug 2017

You know an awful lot about the truck you drive. In fact, you may know a lot about trucks in general. You know all about truck engines, truck transmissions and truck wheels. Well, most things about truck wheels that is.

You see, you might know your truck inside and out, but if there is one little detail about your truck, specifically about your truck wheels, that escapes you, it would have to be the bolt pattern.

It’s nothing to get upset about, this holds true for many truck owners. While many truck owners can tell you the size of their engine, the gear ratio and the number of preset stations on their stereo, few can remember off the top of their head the bolt pattern of their wheels.

Do you know yours?

Probably not, but that is why the internet is such a cool place, because you are sure to find a chart you can use to see what the bolt pattern is so you can buy a set of Fuel wheels knowing they will fit.

Here is a list of some of the most common truck bolt patterns and the vehicles that fit them.

5x5 Bolt Pattern

5x5 is a pretty popular blot pattern used for a number of truck, Jeeps and SUVs. If you have a Jeep Commander, Wrangler or Grand Cherokee, chances are the wheels have a 5x5 bolt pattern.

5x5 bolt patterns are also used on a number of General Motors products including the classic ½ ton Blazer from 1971-1991, most ½ ton Chevy trucks from 1967-1998. Mid-1990s Chevy Tahoes and Yukons will also have stock wheels with this particular bolt pattern.

6x5.5 Bolt Pattern

6x5.5 bolt patterns are popular among a number of Isuzu vehicles including the Rodeo, Axiom and Trooper. If you own an older Chevy Denali or two-wheel drive C-2500 pickup, chances are it has wheels with this bolt pattern.

Toyota 4-Runners from 1986-2002 will have this bolt pattern as will Toyota Landcruisers from 1993-1997.

Ford F150

Ford F150 trucks are a pretty popular model. If you have one that was built between 1997 and 2000, you will need wheels with a bolt pattern of 5x5.3 if you want them replaced. If your Ford F150 truck is from 2004 to the present, your bolt pattern is 6x5.3.

Bolt Patterns

Bolt patterns of truck wheels have two numbers. The first number specifies how many bolt holes are on the truck wheel. This is easy enough to determine, but it is the second number that causes a lot of problems.

The second number is a bolt pattern is the distance the bolt holes are apart. So a bolt pattern of 5x5 would mean there are five bolt holes and they are 5 inches apart.

The problem is that the distance needs to be measured from the center of one lug hole to the center of the opposite lug hole. Not as easy as it might sound.
