Does Honda use a 5×114.3 bolt pattern?

Often, but not always: many Honda models—especially Accord, most Civic trims (non-Type R), CR‑V, HR‑V, Element, S2000, and several others—use the 5×114.3 mm bolt pattern (also known as 5×4.5″). However, some Hondas use different patterns such as 5×120 (e.g., Pilot, Odyssey, Ridgeline, Passport and Civic Type R) or 4×100 (older Civics/Fit). Always confirm by model, trim, and year before buying wheels.

What 5×114.3 means and why it matters

The bolt pattern, or PCD (pitch circle diameter), describes how many wheel studs your car has and the circle diameter they form. “5×114.3” means five studs arranged on a 114.3 mm circle. Wheels must match both the stud count and PCD to fit safely. For Hondas, the center bore is typically 64.1 mm and the lug thread is commonly M12x1.5; offsets are usually high positive (+40 to +55), which also affects fitment.

Honda models that commonly use 5×114.3

The following examples illustrate mainstream Honda vehicles and trims that, in most model years, use a 5×114.3 bolt pattern. Always verify specifics for your exact model year and trim, as exceptions can exist.

• Accord (most 2003–present U.S. models)
• Civic (most non-Type R trims from 2006–present)
• CR‑V (all U.S. generations)
• HR‑V (2016–present)
• Element (2003–2011)
• S2000 (1999–2009)
• RSX/Integra DC5 (2002–2006)
• Prelude (1997–2001, 5‑lug models)
• Insight (2019–2022 hybrid sedan)
• Clarity (2017–2021)
• Crosstour/Accord Crosstour (2010–2015)

These models broadly represent Honda’s passenger-car lineup that frequently shares the 5×114.3 standard, aiding cross-compatibility within similar generations and trims.

Honda models that typically are not 5×114.3

Some Hondas use different bolt patterns due to platform, size, or performance requirements. The list below highlights common exceptions you should know.

• Civic Type R (FK8 2017–2021 and FL5 2023–present): 5×120
• Pilot (most model years): 5×120
• Passport (2019–present): 5×120
• Ridgeline (all generations): 5×120
• Odyssey (most 2005–present): 5×120
• Fit/Jazz (all generations): 4×100
• Older Civic and Integra (pre‑mid‑2000s, many trims): 4×100
• Older Prelude (earlier generations): often 4×114.3 (4‑lug)

If your Honda falls into these categories, a 5×114.3 wheel will not bolt up without adapters, which are generally not recommended for daily use due to added complexity and potential safety considerations.

How to confirm your Honda’s bolt pattern

Before purchasing wheels, it’s prudent to verify the exact specifications for your vehicle. The steps below outline reliable ways to confirm bolt pattern and related fitment details.

1. Check the owner’s manual or the specifications section of Honda’s official website for your exact model and year.
2. Look for markings on the backside of the wheel (PCD, size, offset ET, and center bore are often cast or stamped).
3. Use a trusted fitment database or your VIN at a dealer to pull factory wheel specs.
4. Measure directly: count lugs (e.g., 5) and measure the bolt circle diameter (PCD) if you have the wheels off.
5. Confirm related specs: center bore (commonly 64.1 mm for Honda), lug thread (typically M12x1.5), and recommended offsets.

Taking these steps reduces the chance of ordering wheels that don’t seat properly, rub, or require unsuitable hardware to fit.

Additional fitment notes

Center bore and hub-centric fit

Most Hondas use a 64.1 mm hub bore. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore, use quality hub-centric rings to maintain proper load support and minimize vibration. Avoid wheels with a smaller bore than your hub.

Lug nuts and torque

Most Hondas use M12x1.5 lug nuts; verify torque specs in your manual. Do not mix conical vs. ball-seat lug types; use the seat type specified for the wheel.

Offset and brake clearance

Honda cars often need high positive offsets. If you change offset significantly, check for fender and suspension clearance, and ensure the wheel clears brake calipers—especially on performance trims with larger brakes.

Bottom line

Many—but not all—Hondas are 5×114.3. Passenger models like Accord, most non-Type R Civics, CR‑V, HR‑V, Element, and S2000 commonly share this pattern. Larger SUVs, minivans, and performance variants (Pilot, Odyssey, Passport, Ridgeline, Civic Type R) often use 5×120, while older/smaller models (Fit, early Civics/Integras) frequently use 4×100. Confirm your model, year, and trim before purchasing wheels.

Summary

Honda widely uses the 5×114.3 bolt pattern, but it is not universal. Check your specific vehicle’s bolt pattern, center bore (typically 64.1 mm), lug thread (often M12x1.5), and offset requirements. When in doubt, consult the owner’s manual, a dealership, or a reputable fitment guide to ensure safe, proper wheel fitment.

What bolt pattern does Honda use?

Many Japanese manufacturers use this bolt pattern, making it easy to find compatible aftermarket wheels. Honda applies the 5×114.3 mm pattern (or 5×4.5 inches) across numerous models—not just the CR-V—further expanding wheel options.

Are 5×114.3 and 5×4.5 the same?

Yes, 5×114.3 and 5×4.5 are the same bolt pattern. The difference is only in the measurement units: 5×114.3 is in millimeters, while 5×4.5 is in inches. One is simply a conversion of the other (114.3 mm is equal to 4.5 inches). Therefore, if a wheel has a 5×114.3 bolt pattern, it will also fit on a vehicle that requires a 5×4.5 pattern, and vice versa.

What cars have a 5×114 3 bolt pattern?

Many popular vehicles use the 5×114.3 bolt pattern, including models from Honda (Civic, Accord, Odyssey), Toyota (Camry, RAV4), Nissan (Altima, 350Z, 370Z), Ford (Mustang, Explorer), Mazda (Mazda 3, MX-5 Miata), Subaru (WRX), and Jeep (Cherokee, Liberty, Compass, Patriot), though newer Jeep models may use different patterns. This common pattern is widely used across sedans, SUVs, and sports cars, making it a versatile choice for wheel replacements and upgrades. 
Specific Examples by Vehicle Type:

• Sedans and Coupes: Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Toyota Camry, Nissan Altima, Mazda 3, Ford Mustang, Mazda MX-5 Miata, Nissan 350Z, and Nissan 370Z. 
• SUVs and Crossovers: Toyota RAV4, Ford Explorer, Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Liberty, Hyundai Tucson, and Kia Sportage. 
• Performance Cars: Subaru WRX, Ford Mustang, and many Nissan Z models. 
• Minivans: Honda Odyssey. 
• Trucks: Some versions of the Ford Ranger and older Jeep models like the Cherokee and Liberty also feature this bolt pattern. 

Tips for Choosing 5×114.3 Wheels:

• Check Your Specific Model: While 5×114.3 is common, vehicle fitment can vary by year and model. Always verify your vehicle’s specific requirements. 
• Consider the Center Bore: Even with the correct bolt pattern, the center bore (the hole in the middle of the wheel) might differ between models. You can use hub-centric rings to adapt a wheel with a larger center bore to your vehicle’s hub. 
• Explore Options: The prevalence of this bolt pattern means there are many wheel styles and brands available to choose from.
