When changing your wheels, knowing your Porsche’s lug pattern is essential. A car’s lug pattern, sometimes called a bolt pattern, represents the number and spacing of the lug holes on your Porsche’s wheel.
Two numbers make up a lug pattern. The first is the number of holes, and the second is the diameter of the circle these holes form. For example, if you have a standard Porsche lug pattern of 5x4, the wheel has five lugs arranged in a four-inch circle.
Without the correct lug pattern, the wheels you purchase may not fit.

If you aren’t familiar with cars, the table above can be overwhelming. Thankfully, once you know the key terms used for rims, you’ll have no problem navigating a new set.
OEM wheel size: OEM stands for “Original Equipment Manufacturer,” meaning the wheels that are standard for each make/model. The wheel size is the diameter of the wheels your vehicle came with. If you want new rims, they need to match your wheel size.
Lug pattern: Also known as bolt pattern. This term refers to the number of lug holes and the diameter of the circle they make. You’ll need to know this number to ensure the wheel you choose fits your Porsche.
Offset: Offset refers to the distance from the mounting surface to the center of the rim. Offset has two positions, positive and negative. When the wheels are pulled in towards the car, this is a positive offset, and when the wheels are pulled away from the car, or sticking out, this is negative. Most Porsche models have a high offset, but a few models, like the Macan, have a medium offset.
Stud size: Wheel studs are what mount the wheel to the vehicle, ensuring your wheel doesn’t fall off. There are two ways of measuring stud sizes—either imperial or metric. In the US, stud fasteners are written as stud diameter x threads per inch (i.e., ½ x 20), while metric fasteners are written as stud diameter x distance between threads (i.e., 14mm x 1.50).
Center bore: A center bore is what centers the wheel on the hub. It’s an opening that can vary in size, so you’ll need to ensure you have the correct measurement.
How to measure your Porsche’s lug pattern
If your Porsche isn’t on our table, or you just want to try measuring your lug pattern yourself, it’s pretty easy! All you need is a ruler or measuring tape.
To begin, count the lugs. With a Porsche, you can expect five. From there, you’ll need to find the lug pattern’s diameter.
You can measure the diameter by staring at the outer edge of a lug hole and measuring directly across from the hole. Since most Porsche’s have five lugs, you’ll end up in between lugs. That’s okay! Just move your measuring tape or ruler to the closest lug on either side and measure to the center of that lug hole.
A common diameter is 5.12 inches. Since you have five lugs, your lug pattern is 5x5.12 or 5 on 5.12.

Do all Porsche models have the same wheel specs?
No! While most models have similar specs, the wheel size and offset vary. You’ll always need to confirm your lug pattern and measurements before switching out your rims.
Do Audi and Porsche have the same lug pattern?
They don’t! While the Volkswagen Group owns both companies, the lug patterns are different, meaning you can’t swap wheels between the two.
