The F-150 is a popular pickup truck and part of the best-selling F-Series line by Ford. The 2000 model is part of the tenth generation of the F-150 before it got overhauled in 2004. With strong and reliable suspension making for smooth driving on and off the road, along with impressive functionality and a solid build, it’s a classic pickup truck in every sense.

But pickup trucks do take a hammering—especially the wheels. So if you decide to replace yours, you need to know your truck’s bolt (or lug) pattern.

That’s where the experts at

2000 F-150 bolt pattern

Firstly, we’ll explain what a bolt pattern (or a lug pattern) is—if you’ve never had to replace your wheels, you might not have heard of it. It consists of the number of bolts on your vehicle and the way they line up.

The bolt pattern for the 2000 F-150 is 5x5.3 or 5 on 5.3. Here’s what the pattern means:

The number of bolts multiplied by the diameter of the circle they form on the wheel

This means that your truck’s wheels have five lugs each, set in a circle 5.3 inches in diameter. Get this wrong when buying new wheels, and they simply won’t fit.

But your bolt pattern is not the only thing you need to know when upgrading or replacing your wheels. You’ll also need to know the stud size, wheel offset, center bore measurement, and torque specifications. We’re good people though, so we’ve got all that info for you here:

Factory wheel size: 16”/20”

Stud size: M14 x 2.0

Offset: -10 to 25 mm

Center bore: 87.1 mm

Wheel tightening torque: 204 Nm

It’s important to note that not all Ford F-150s have the same bolt pattern, let alone all these other metrics. So, be sure that you have all of this information for the specific model you currently own. Check your owner’s manual or contact the dealership to confirm.

How to measure your Ford F-150’s bolt pattern

People who own pickup trucks tend to be the kind of people who like to do things themselves, so you don’t need to take our word for it when it comes to your bolt pattern. It’s very simple to check it yourself using a measuring tape or ruler.

All you need to do is measure from the outer edge of the lug hole of one of the bolts to the center of the opposite bolt. This gives you your diameter. Then, simply count the lugs and you’ll have your bolt pattern. Job done.
