Many popular European and some American vehicles use the 5x112 bolt pattern. This means the wheel has five lug bolts arranged in a circle with a 112-millimeter diameter. You'll commonly find this specification on models from Volkswagen Group brands (Audi, Volkswagen, Porsche) and Mercedes-Benz. It's a standard for many of their sedans, wagons, and SUVs.
Here’s a breakdown of common models that use this pattern:
| Vehicle Make | Model Examples | Typical Model Years |
|---|---|---|
| Audi | A4, A5, A6, A7, Q5, Q7 | 2007-Present |
| Volkswagen | Golf, GTI, Jetta, Passat, Tiguan, Atlas | 2006-Present |
| Mercedes-Benz | C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, GLC, GLE | Mid-2000s-Present |
| Porsche | Cayenne (specific generations) | 2007-2018 |
| Chrysler | 300, Town & Country (specific years) | 2005-2010 |
| Dodge | Charger, Challenger (specific years) | 2006-2010 |
It's crucial to verify this is the only specification you need. The bolt pattern is just one part of the equation. You must also check the wheel offset (ET), center bore diameter, and lug type (like ball seat vs. cone seat) to ensure a proper and safe fit. Installing wheels with an incorrect offset can affect handling and stress suspension components. Always cross-reference with your vehicle's owner's manual or a trusted wheel fitment guide before purchasing new wheels.
