Bolt Pattern of the F150
The lug holes that round the sizable hub bore in the middle of the wheel make up the bolt pattern, sometimes referred to as the F-150 lug pattern. The bolt pattern for every Ford F-150 vehicle produced since 2004 is 6x135, or 6x5.3 inches. This means there are six bolts per wheel, forming a circle with a diameter of 135mm/5.3 inches.
Why is this Important?
To choose the right rims for your car, you must be aware of your car’s or truck’s bolt pattern. The bolts secure the rim, and consequently the wheel and F150 tires, to your vehicle. The bolts on the rim and the car must line up to install it.
How to Calculate it?
The formula for all bolt designs is essentially the same: number of bolts x diameter of the circle they make.
Dimensions of the F150
Before changing your wheels, you’ll also need the following measurements:
- 17-inch factory wheels
- Size of stud: M14 x 1.5
- 87.1 mm Center bore with a +44 mm offset
- 204 Nm is the wheel-tightening torque.
The lug pattern must be taken into account when selecting a set of wheels for your vehicle. It influences how easily you can fit F150 tires on the wheel and how much room there is for larger tires.
Ford 8 Lug Bolt Pattern
A popular lug type for trucks is the Ford 8-lug bolt pattern. Most American vehicles, such as the Ford F250 and F350, employ it.
Ford 6 Lug Bolt Pattern
The “six by five and a half” or “six by five-point five” patterns are other names for the 6x5.5 bolt pattern. This is due to the bolts’ five-and-a-half-inch spacing.
Understanding these patterns ensures you select the right wheels for your Ford F150. Stay informed to make the best choices for your vehicle's performance and aesthetics.
