Truck Wheel and Rim Lug Patterns Explained
When you're building your truck and you find the perfect set of wheels and tires to fit it, we couldn't think of a bigger bummer than coming to find out that those wheels don't fit on your truck. Even if you find the right size and offset for your build, it won't mean much if you don't also have the right bolt pattern nailed down as well.
So, today we want to take you through everything you need to know about the bolt pattern measurement that exists on every truck, so you can get some assistance finding your perfect fitment. Join us below and see how to measure your bolt pattern as well as what your truck is compatible with!

What Does The Bolt Pattern Number Measure?
Bolt pattern (otherwise known as lug pattern or stud pattern) is a pretty simple measurement. Take a wheel with a bolt pattern of 6x5.5 for example - the "6" denotes that there are six lug nut holes around the center of the wheel, and the "5.5" means that there are five and a half inches between the center of the top lug and bottom lug. On bolt patterns with an even number of lugs, this distance goes from the center of the top lug to the bottom of the center cap, in between the two lugs on the opposite side.
What Stud Patterns Are There For My Truck?
Because trucks are heavier than cars and their axles need more contact points to accommodate the higher power and torque output, most truck wheels will have six-lug wheel sizes at the bare minimum, though heavier duty three-quarter ton and full-ton trucks will usually have eight-lug wheels. This is basically universal, too, so the bigger your truck is, the higher the chance you'll need more lugs on it. The only difference here is the distance between them.
We've taken the liberty of putting the most common lug patterns for each recent truck model below in the following tables. Once you get to your make model, it's a good chance that your truck will have that lug pattern, although we always recommend checking first.
