2005 F150 bolt pattern

The bolt pattern of most Fords

is either 5x4.25 or 5x4.5. If you aren't familiar with bolt patterns, each one uses the same basic formula:

# of bolts x diameter of the circle they form

A 6x5.3 lug pattern means your 2005 F150 uses six lugs per wheel, set in a circle 5.3 inches across. It's important to be aware that your F150 falls outside the average size for Fords when you look at replacement options.

Before changing your wheels or rims, you'll also need to know the 2005 F150's stud size, wheel offset, center bore measurement, and torque specifications:

Factory wheel size: 17” to 18”

Stud size: M14 x 2.0

Offset: 18 to 45 mm

Center bore: 87.1 mm

Wheel tightening torque: 204 Nm

How to measure your 2005 F150’s bolt pattern

Our list gives you enough info to swap out those OEM wheels on your 2005 F150, but you can double-check the bolt pattern yourself using a few easy steps.

First, dig out a measuring tape or ruler. Next, pick a bolt on one of the wheels and measure from the center of the lug (bolt) hole to the center of the opposite bolt hole. Because your F150 wheel uses an even number of bolts, you can measure straight across more easily.

The measurement you get is the diameter. Next, count the number of bolts on one wheel’s hub, and you’ve got the bolt pattern (# of bolts x diameter of the circle)!
