Only the most common bolt patterns are indicated. Before purchasing a disk, you must set this parameter specifically for your car.

What is wheel rim bolt pattern?

Any car owner strives to improve his vehicle by replacing its original parts with new, more efficient ones, improving the appearance of the car through tuning. Wheel rims also undergo changes, because their appearance and production method directly affect the overall appearance of the car.

Larger wheels look more impressive than the original ones. Improving the exterior of a car is a completely natural desire of every owner, but in this case it is important that tuning does not negatively affect the performance of the car. To do this, you should select spare parts that meet the safety requirements and technical characteristics of a particular vehicle. And we need to talk about an attractive appearance only after these requirements are met after installation.

If the required number of bolts can be determined by eye, then the diameter of the holes is much more difficult to determine in this way. This is the main difficulty of loosening.

Disc size indicators

There are five main sizes, an error in determining which will result in the impossibility of installing the wheel.

These include:

  • number of bolt holes (LZ);
  • the distance between them;
  • diameter of the circle on which they are located (PCD);
  • diameter of the central (hub) window (DIA);
  • departure (ET).

The number of windows for bolts on passenger cars varies from 3 to 6. For trucks, this figure reaches 12-15 pieces. Togliatti-made cars have 4 bolt entries. The exception is the Lada Niva, the wheels of which are secured with five bolts each. The number of holes is measured visually by simple counting.

What is the wheel bolt pattern for the VAZ 2104?

Classic VAZ models are models with indexes 2101, 2102, 2103, 2104, 2105, 2106, 2107. And their modifications, which are indicated by an additional fifth number. By the way, here’s how to quickly restore your original Zhiguli wheel bolts. All Volga cars have a Fiat 4*98 bolt pattern.

What is the wheel bolt pattern on the VAZ 2106?

All standard wheels on the VAZ-2106 have two constant indicators related to the design of the hub: The pattern of mounting holes (bolt pattern) is 4x98. The diameter of the central hole is 58.5 mm.

What is the wheel bolt pattern on the Volga?

Disc drilling parameters are usually called bolt pattern:

What cars have a 4x100 bolt pattern?

As already mentioned, the size 4x100 is the most common. Therefore, there are quite a lot of car models from different manufacturers that use this bolt pattern.

What do the numbers mean?

  • R - Rim diameter (in inches);
  • J - Rim width (in inches);
  • DIA - Hub bore diameter (in mm);
  • ET – The distance between the vertical axis of the rim to the plane where the disc abuts the hub.


Hub Bore Measurement (DIA)
Note: This value may be zero, plus, or, when the disc is very inward, negative.

This parameter is very important, since if it is chosen incorrectly, the disk may not fit in its normal place, even if all other sizes are suitable. How to find out the disc offset is shown in one of the photos above.

Types of departures: negative, zero, positive

  • LZ – number of places for fastening the disk with bolts or nuts on a stud;
  • PCD is the diameter of the circle in millimeters, along the perimeter of which the mounting holes are located (this is precisely the bolt pattern).

Where is the bolt pattern indicated on alloy wheels: there is complete information on the packaging

Note: There is no place to see this size on the discs unless there is a shipping box.

You have to measure this size yourself, but doing this with a tape measure or caliper is inconvenient. It’s easier to use the calculation coefficients that we presented below.

Number of fastenersCoefficient
31,155
41,414
51,701
62,0
103,326

As a last resort, you can simply try the disk on the hub and try to tighten the nuts (or bolts).

How to find out the wheel bolt pattern (PCD)

If the disk is not original, but universal, it may have double drilling - for example: 5*100/5*114.3. It can be installed on cars with PCD 5*100, and on cars with PCD 5*114.3.

Universal discs with double drilling

The hub hole on universal discs is usually made larger - for example: 67.1 as for Mitsubishi, which has a bolt pattern of 5 * 114.3.

To put these wheels on, say, a Chevrolet with a 5*100 bolt pattern and a 57.1 hub, you only need a plastic adapter measuring 67.1*57.1.

Adapter rings (hub adapter)

These numbers correspond to the outer and inner diameters of the ring, with which you can change from 67 to 57 hub.

Marking features

To replace standard wheels in a car with new ones, you need to take into account a number of nuances to make the right choice. When purchasing, always look at the part labeling.

B is the width of the disk; D—disk diameter; ET - disc offset; C is the diameter of the mating plane; DIA - diameter of the central hole; PCD - diameter of the circle of the centers of the mounting holes

The following information can be printed on the disk: 8.5Jx18 H2 5×120 ET20 d74.1. Let's take a closer look at what these numbers can mean:

  • 8.5 is the width of the rim, which is determined in inches. Basically, this parameter is denoted by the letter W;
  • 18 – wheel diameter, designated by the letter D and measured in inches;
  • 5x120 – information on the number of landing bolts and the diameter of the holes in which they are installed. Basically, diameter is measured in millimeters. In our case, the disk uses five landing bolts, the diameter of each bolt is 120 mm;
  • ET20 – disc ejection parameter. Disk offset is the distance between the plane that presses the wheel disk to the hub and the axis of symmetry of the disk. This parameter is measured strictly in millimeters; in our case, the disc offset is 20 millimeters;
  • d74.1 – designation of the diameter of the central hole, measured in millimeters. There are cases when manufacturers of light alloy wheels increase this parameter. In order to center the disk, it is necessary to use special disks. They provide reliable fixation of the disc, due to which there is no vibration when the vehicle moves.

This marking also contains a number of additional parameters, but they are mainly of interest only to professionals and do not carry any meaning for the average motorist. This is about:

  • J – information about the type of flange design at the wheel rim. May also be designated by the letters JJ, K, JK, B, P and D, depending on the characteristics of the parameter;
  • H2 – information about the design of the ring lugs on the rim. This parameter can also be abbreviated H, H2, FH, FH2, CH, EH2, EH2+.

Let's take a closer look at these parameters. The only thing that does not require decoding is the width and diameter of the disk; these parameters are understandable even to novice motorists.

The diameter of the circle on which the mounting bolts are located is designated by the abbreviation PCD. If necessary, this parameter can be calculated independently, without even removing the wheels from the car. To measure, you will need a regular ruler - it is used to measure the distance between the centers of the two nearest fastening bolts.

A certain distance is useful for calculating PCD. To calculate the parameter, select one of the proposed formulas depending on the number of fasteners:

  • 3 holes: PCD=X*1.154;
  • 4 holes: PCD=X*1.414;
  • 5 holes: PCD=X*1.701;
  • 6 holes: PCD=X*2;
  • 10 holes: PCD=X*3.326.

Motorists, mostly beginners, make the mistake of ignoring the importance of high accuracy of the PCD parameter. The hole diameter for the mounting bolt is often tolerant. This often becomes the reason that the disk does not correspond to the standard parameters by just a couple of millimeters.

The discrepancy is not noticeable to the naked eye, but it is strictly prohibited to allow it. The difference in distance will result in only one of all the mounting nuts on the disk being tightened completely and correctly, while the nuts in the other holes will be skewed. There is only one outcome for such a mount - the wheel will not fit tightly on the hub, as a result, a knock will be heard while the car is moving, and the nuts will begin to loosen over time.

How to measure the bolt pattern of a disc yourself

In fact, the need for measuring procedures rarely arises. The required parameter can be easily found out from the characteristics of a particular machine, and for any disk it is indicated on the product labeling.

But the designation of a used part may have been destroyed, so you will have to determine the bolt pattern using a ruler.

Measurements should be made with the greatest possible accuracy. It is very difficult, for example, to distinguish a 4x98 disk from a 4x100 one. It often happens that VAZ cars are driven with enlarged PCD rims, which is wrong and very dangerous.

Even if the wheel is centered more or less normally and does not bounce while driving, the lack of complete contact between the chamfers of the fastening bolts and the disk sockets causes high stress in the metal, wear of the holes, fatigue in the wheel bolts and a high probability of losing the wheel while driving.

There are two measurement methods - for an even number of studs and universal.

If the number is even, it is enough to mark the centers of the holes with the greatest possible accuracy and determine the distance between these centers for diametrically opposite bolts.

You will have to use a caliper; a regular ruler will give too much error. For example, on a disk you need to take the size between the edges of the holes, one from the inside, the other from the outside. Since the diameters of the bolt sockets are made with high precision, this will be the desired PCD.

Remember

It is necessary to take into account the bolt pattern of a car wheel in combination with other parameters. Only comprehensive compliance with all wheel rim installation rules will help avoid technical problems in the future, and will also help maintain maximum performance of chassis parts throughout their entire service life.

How to find out the bolt pattern of a 4-bolt wheel

How to find out the bolt pattern of a 4 or 6 bolt wheel. This method is only suitable for discs with an even number of holes. To do this, you need to measure the distance from the extreme point of two opposite holes. For example, for the VAZ 2104 this parameter is 85 mm. Next, we measure the diameter of the mounting hole; for this model it is 13 mm. We add up both obtained values ​​- we get 98 mm. In total, the PCD of the VAZ 2104 is 4x98 mm. You can make measurements easier by taking measurements directly from the edges of the mounting holes. However, this method is not particularly accurate.

main disk sizes

The most common wheels are found, except for those that came from old FIAT models and some other cars, VAZ PCD 4 x 98 , with 4 and 5 bolts (studs).

The most popular bolt patterns:

  • 4×100;
  • 4×108;
  • 5×100;
  • 5×108;
  • 5×112.

Although it is difficult to judge the actual prevalence of specific sizes, there are many others used on fairly well-known mass-produced cars.

Naturally, the disc parameters are not limited by the size of the bolt pattern.

There are others, no less important:

  • diameter of the central hole;
  • width;
  • departure;
  • disc edge parameters and much more.

What is the danger of incorrect wheel bolt pattern?

It is important to correctly determine the bolt pattern parameters. This action should not be neglected, since it indirectly affects the safety of the vehicle. Installing wheels without taking into account deviations in one direction or another means that the wheel will not be installed accurately relative to the axis. As a result, it will not be possible to achieve the required tightening level.

It is impossible to visually determine the correctness of the bolt pattern. The consequences of incorrect drilling will be revealed later during the ride by the following manifestations:

  • there will be strong beating in the wheels;
  • damage will be found in the suspension elements and in the steering mechanism;
  • the risk of the wheel mounting bolts coming loose will increase.

It can be seen that from a safety point of view the consequences are very serious and can lead to an emergency.

More details about bolt pattern

There are not so many PCD sizes: about a dozen popular ones, on European and Asian cars, and a few more rare ones, which are found mainly on American cars.

There is very little difference between some of them: 98 and 100, or 112 and 114.3. Visually, it is almost invisible, and when they see a wheel model they like, car owners sometimes think that one option can be replaced with another.

This is an erroneous opinion, and such a decision will result in a poor fit of the disk to the hub or its misalignment. Problems will not keep you waiting.

Let's consider what options for placing mounting holes are found on certain cars:

Overhang amount

Every vehicle owner strives to make the car original and unique with the help of tuning. A lot of effort and time is spent on selecting disks. Some motorists do not look at the standard markings, ignore the requirements and install low-profile wheels, forgetting that any deviations are unacceptable. Mismatched wheel rims lead to the car becoming unsafe and directly threatening the lives of all road users.

After deciding on tuning, you should not immediately run to the store and buy the wheels you like for your car, but you should consider several important selection parameters. You should not count on the help of consultants in the store; many of them are simply incompetent in matters of choice and try to simply sell the part, especially if they notice that you are interested in it.

To avoid waste of money, you must choose a disk strictly according to its parameters. There are a huge number of myths, and many prejudices have absolutely no relation to the real situation.

Motorists are sure that the offset of a wheel rim is the value that denotes the protruding part of the rim above the body of the vehicle. In fact, the parameter carries a slightly different meaning. Any disk in a car has a mating plane that comes into contact with the wheel hub when installing the disk. As a result, the offset is the distance from the mating plane of the disk to the vertical axis of symmetry of the disk.

Do not ignore the departure parameter. He is directly responsible for driving safety in the vehicle. If you choose wheels with the wrong offset, you increase the risk of accidents and premature wear of the main components. Thus, an incorrectly selected parameter can result in premature wear of the suspension.

Basically, motorists, when choosing wheels for their car, can make three common mistakes:

  • They blindly believe the stories of consultants, hoping to receive highly qualified assistance in choosing;
  • They ignore information about the markings that are applied to the standard disc from the car manufacturer;
  • They make a choice only according to the parameters of appearance, color, geometric features, and other aesthetic factors.

In order to purchase a suitable part, it is necessary to correctly calculate the offset parameter:

ET=ab/2

In the formula, the symbol “a” denotes the distance between the inner plane and the part of the disk that is in direct contact with the hub, and the symbol “b” denotes the width of the disk profile. This information is presented more clearly in the figure:

All data for calculating the offset parameter can be measured manually with a millimeter ruler

The result is obtained in millimeters. The offset can be positive, negative, or equal to zero.

If the offset is positive - the axis is slightly shifted from the place of fastening, zero parameter - the axis and plane are completely consistent and fit tightly, negative parameter - the plane is outside the axis.

Most often on cars there is a positive offset value

Compatibility tables for different cars

To make it easier to select wheels, below we will post compatibility tables for some car brands. These tables contain only general information, and before purchasing you should definitely pay attention to the labeling and other parameters.

Wheels should be selected based on compatibility rather than aesthetic characteristics. Make sure that absolutely all parameters correspond to the standard ones, so as not to endanger the lives of road users.

Is it possible to install a product with inappropriate parameters?


Disc with centering ring
It is possible to install the product on a car with unsuitable bolt pattern parameters. For this purpose, special rings called centering rings are often used. With their help, you can set a parameter specifically for installing selected disks. This may result in errors in balancing and violation of suspension geometry. Therefore, it is strictly not recommended to carry out such operations, since they can disrupt the performance of the machine in motion.

The bolt pattern is an important parameter that can be used to determine how the disc is attached to the chassis structure. You can measure it yourself or find out from official sources, which is preferable.

Spacers

Sometimes you can hear questions about what to do if the wheel rims do not fit in the mounting holes with the hub. For such a case, there are special spacers. They are installed on the hub, and the disk is already attached to them. Let's look at how this works. Let's say your hub has 4x108, and the disc has a spread of 4x98. Of course, such wheels will not voluntarily fit on a car. To install, we purchase a spacer with mounting on a 4×108 hub; the holes on it must correspond to 4×108. When installing, please note that the use of such a device significantly reduces the reliability of the structure.

Conclusion

. Automakers are increasingly striving to unify some design elements. Therefore, more and more often they are moving to certain standards that simplify machine maintenance. But this process is far from complete. And the question of which cars have a 4x108 bolt pattern is still relevant. In fact, there are few such models, and most of the cars with this indicator are far from new.
