Many popular vehicles, particularly from American and Japanese manufacturers, use the 5x4.5 inch bolt pattern, which is also commonly referred to as 5x114.3 mm (the metric equivalent). This is one of the most widespread bolt patterns globally, covering a huge range of sedans, SUVs, and trucks from the mid-1980s to today.

If you're looking for factory-fit wheels or need to know compatibility for a replacement, you'll find this pattern on a vast number of models. Key examples include a large portion of the Ford lineup (like the Mustang, Explorer, and Fusion), numerous Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep products (such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300), and many mainstream Japanese models from Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and Mazda.

Common Vehicles with a 5x4.5" / 5x114.3 mm Bolt Pattern

ManufacturerExample Models (Various Model Years)Notes
FordMustang (1979+), Explorer (1991-2010), Fusion, Taurus, Crown VictoriaMany Ford trucks and SUVs switched to a 6-lug pattern later.
Chrysler/Dodge/JeepJeep Grand Cherokee (WJ, WK), Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, DurangoVery common across their front-wheel and all-wheel-drive passenger cars.
ToyotaCamry, Avalon, Highlander, 4Runner (1996-2002), SiennaCheck specific years; some models like Tacoma use a 6-lug pattern.
HondaAccord, Civic (2001+), CR-V, Pilot, OdysseyHonda primarily uses this pattern on most models from the early 2000s onward.
NissanAltima, Maxima, Pathfinder (1996-2012), Frontier, 350Z/370ZThe Z-cars and many mid-size models feature this pattern.
Hyundai/KiaSonata, Elantra (later generations), Santa Fe, SorentoAdopted widely for their mid-size and larger vehicles.
MazdaMazda6, Mazda3 (2004-2013), CX-5, CX-9, Miata (NC, ND)Shares platforms with Ford, leading to pattern commonality.

The safest way to confirm your vehicle's bolt pattern is to measure it yourself. You can do this by measuring the distance from the center of one lug hole to the center of the hole directly across from it on a 5-lug wheel. Alternatively, check your owner's manual or look up your specific vehicle's year, make, and model on a reputable wheel compatibility website.

You're in luck, that's a super common pattern. Think of a lot of the cars you see every day. A ton of Fords like the Mustang and Explorer, most Hondas and Toyotas like the Accord and Camry, and a bunch of Chryslers and Jeeps all use 5x4.5. It's probably one of the easiest patterns to find used wheels for. Just double-check your specific model year online before you buy.

Is Slow Tire Leakage a Quality Issue for New Cars?

It is not a quality issue. During daily vehicle use, conducting necessary travel inspections is crucial. The phenomenon of slow tire leakage is not uncommon, and the specific reasons for slow leakage can be summarized as follows: Tire valve area: The original vehicle comes with an external protective cap for the tire valve. If it is missing or falls off, dirt and debris can easily enter the valve core, accelerating internal seal aging, rust, etc., which can easily lead to air leakage. Therefore, in addition to taking preventive measures, regular inspections are also essential. Obvious punctures or penetrations on the tread: Obvious punctures or penetrations on the tread, such as those caused by foreign objects, can result in slow leakage when the object is not removed. Identifying this point allows for repair to stop the leakage.

How Often Should a New Battery Be Charged?

For the first charge, continuously charge for more than 12 hours. Subsequent charges only require 6 to 8 hours. The battery should be charged when its power drops to 60%. When not in use, maintain charging twice a month to prevent self-discharge. Battery Charging Precautions: New batteries often do not reach full capacity after the first charge and should undergo a discharge cycle. Discharge at a 20-hour rate (i.e., discharge with a current equal to 1/20 of the rated capacity until the single-cell voltage drops to 1.75V), then recharge until fully charged. If the capacity remains below 90% of the rated capacity after one charge-discharge cycle, perform another cycle. Battery Maintenance Methods: Wipe the exterior of the battery with a damp cloth to remove dust, grease, white powder, and other contaminants that may cause leakage from the panel and terminals (positive and negative poles). Regular cleaning prevents the accumulation of white acidic corrosion powder on the terminals and extends the battery's lifespan.

What does Honda Cruise mean?

Honda CRUISE indicates that the cruise control is currently active, allowing the driver to maintain a fixed speed without pressing the accelerator pedal. To activate Honda's cruise control, press the cruise control switch on the steering wheel, and the cruise control system indicator will appear on the instrument cluster. Press the accelerator pedal until the vehicle reaches the desired speed (30 km/h). Press the "SET" side of the "RES/SET (Resume/Set)" switch on the steering wheel and release it, then you can release the accelerator pedal. To temporarily deactivate the system, press the brake pedal or move the cruise control switch to the "OFF" position. To resume the set cruising speed, release the brake or clutch pedal and press the resume function button again. The cruise control system is not suitable for all situations. In principle, cruise control should be used on highways or fully enclosed roads, as complex road conditions on non-enclosed roads can compromise traffic safety. When using the cruise control system, always set an appropriate speed based on road limits, traffic flow, road conditions, and other factors. Avoid using cruise control when driving on slopes, slippery roads, or winding roads to prevent safety incidents.

How to Adjust Tire Wear?

Tire wear adjustment methods are as follows: 1. Adjust tire pressure. Both overinflation and underinflation can cause uneven tire wear. When tire pressure is too low, the tire bends inward, which can lead to severe wear on the tire edges. When tire pressure is too high, the central tread of the tire will experience accelerated wear. Therefore, it's important to regularly check whether the tire pressure is at a normal level. Generally, inflating or deflating according to the vehicle's specified tire pressure is sufficient. 2. Perform wheel balancing regularly. Due to manufacturing processes or certain external factors, the mass distribution of wheel components may become uneven. When car wheels rotate at high speeds, this can create dynamic imbalance. To prevent or correct this condition, counterweights are added during dynamic conditions to balance the wheel edges, thereby avoiding uneven tire wear. 3. Perform wheel alignment regularly. Wheel alignment enhances driving safety, extends tire lifespan, reduces fuel consumption, minimizes tire wear, and decreases suspension component wear. Therefore, it's essential to schedule regular wheel alignment at 4S shops or professional repair facilities.

Is There Compensation for Quality Issues in New Cars After Repair?

After repairing quality issues in a new car, you can request compensation from the 4S store. Legal Provisions: The new automobile three-guarantee regulations stipulate that if the vehicle has issues with major (important) components such as the transmission or engine due to inherent defects, and after diagnosis by the dealership and manufacturer, the product cannot meet functional and usage requirements, the consumer is entitled to request repair, return, or compensation. New Automobile Three-Guarantee Rules: If a newly purchased car is found to have quality issues, consumers can request replacement or return from the seller by presenting the three-guarantee certificate and purchase invoice. During the warranty period, if there are product quality issues with a family car, consumers can receive free repairs from the repairer by presenting the three-guarantee certificate, including labor and material costs.

What is the purpose of cruise control?

Cruise control automatically maintains the vehicle's speed at the driver's desired setting after activation, eliminating the need to press the accelerator pedal. This allows the vehicle to travel at a constant speed, reducing driver fatigue by removing the need to control the accelerator pedal, while also minimizing unnecessary speed variations and saving fuel. Principle of cruise control: The cruise control system primarily works by the cruise control module reading pulse signals from the vehicle speed sensor and comparing them with the preset speed. Through precise electronic calculations, it issues commands to ensure the most accurate fuel supply for the vehicle at the set speed. Precautions for cruise control: Do not use the speed control system on roads with heavy traffic or poor road conditions (such as slippery surfaces, loose gravel roads, or roads after heavy rain). Once the system is activated and the speed exceeds 40 km/h, never shift the gear lever into neutral without depressing the clutch pedal, as this may cause the engine to over-rev and result in damage. If the set cruising speed is too high compared to the current traffic conditions, do not resume the set speed.
