5-Lug Wheel Adapters: Common Bolt Pattern Conversions

5-lug wheel adapters are common on cars, Jeeps, SUVs, light trucks, and custom builds.

They make it possible to use wheels with a different 5-lug bolt pattern than your vehicle originally came with.

If you already know your pattern, browse our wheel adapters. If you are still checking measurements, use the How To Select guide.

Common 5-Lug Bolt Patterns

Common 5-lug patterns include:

  • 5x4.5
  • 5x4.75
  • 5x5
  • 5x5.5
  • 5x135
  • 5x150

Some patterns are listed in inches. Others are listed in millimeters. Use the Conversion Chart if you need help comparing sizes.

What a 5-Lug Adapter Does

A 5-lug adapter bolts to the vehicle hub and provides a different bolt pattern for the wheel.

Example:

Vehicle side: 5x4.5
Wheel side: 5x5
Adapter: 5x4.5 to 5x5

This allows a 5x5 wheel to be mounted on a 5x4.5 vehicle, assuming all other measurements are correct.

Popular 5-Lug Conversions

Common 5-lug conversions include:

  • 5x4.5 to 5x5
  • 5x4.75 to 5x5
  • 5x5 to 5x5.5
  • 5x135 to 5x5.5
  • 5x150 to 5x5.5

The exact adapter depends on the vehicle, wheel, hub bore, stud size, and thickness.

Do Not Reverse the Patterns

The first pattern should match your vehicle. The second pattern should match your wheel.

Reversing the patterns is one of the easiest ways to order the wrong adapter.

What Else to Check

Before ordering 5-lug adapters, confirm:

  • Vehicle bolt pattern
  • Wheel bolt pattern
  • Hub bore
  • Wheel center bore
  • Stud size
  • Thread pitch
  • Adapter thickness

Use the Fitment Guide before ordering.
