Many popular cars from Honda, Toyota, Ford, Nissan, and other major manufacturers use the 5x114.3 bolt pattern (also known as 5x4.5 inches). This is one of the most common bolt patterns globally, found on everything from family sedans and SUVs to sports cars. If you're looking for aftermarket wheels, this pattern offers the widest selection.
The bolt pattern defines how the wheel attaches to the hub, with the first number (5) indicating the number of lug nuts and the second (114.3) the diameter of the circle they form in millimeters. Its widespread use by Japanese and American automakers means you have a huge pool of vehicles to choose from, both new and used.
| Manufacturer | Example Models (Various Model Years) |
|---|---|
| Honda | Accord, Civic, CR-V, Pilot, Odyssey |
| Toyota | Camry, Avalon, Highlander, Sienna, 4Runner |
| Ford | Fusion, Mustang (2005+), Edge, Explorer |
| Nissan | Altima, Maxima, Rogue, Pathfinder, 370Z |
| Hyundai | Sonata, Santa Fe, Genesis Coupe |
| Kia | Optima, Sorento, Stinger |
| Mazda | Mazda3, Mazda6, CX-5, CX-9 |
| Subaru | Legacy, Outback (most with 5 lugs) |
| Chrysler | 300, Pacifica |
| Acura | Almost all models (TL, TSX, MDX) |
| Infiniti | G35/G37, Q50, QX60 |
It's crucial to remember that bolt pattern is just one factor in wheel fitment. You must also confirm the wheel offset, center bore, and lug nut type (e.g., conical vs. mag seat) to ensure a proper and safe fit. Always double-check your specific vehicle's requirements by looking at the sticker inside the driver's door jamb, consulting your owner's manual, or measuring directly.

Pretty much every mainstream car from the last 20 years uses this pattern. Think of your average Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, or Ford Fusion. Even the modern Mustang has it. It's the default for so many sedans, crossovers, and minivans. You'll have no trouble finding wheels. Just make sure the offset is right for your specific car.

As a mechanic, I see this pattern daily. It's the standard for most Japanese and a lot of American front-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive platforms. Hondas, Nissans, Hyundais—they all share it. The great thing is that wheels from a newer Accord might fit an older Camry, which is handy in a pinch. But a word of caution: always check the center bore. Even with the same bolt pattern, the wheel might not sit flush on the hub without the right rings.

When I was shopping for new rims for my Sonata, I learned that 5x114.3 is super common. It opened up a ton of options from brands like Enkei and TSW. I ended up getting a barely-used set from a guy who sold his Mustang. The key is to look beyond just your car's brand. A wheel from a Mazda CX-5 or an Infiniti Q50 could potentially fit, which really expands your choices on the used market.

From an engineering perspective, the 5x114.3 pattern strikes a great balance between strength, weight, and packaging. Five lug nuts provide solid clamping force, and the diameter is large enough to accommodate larger brakes, which is why you see it on performance models like the Toyota Supra and Acura NSX. Its adoption as a de facto standard across brands simplifies manufacturing and gives consumers more aftermarket freedom, which is a win-win.
