5x1143

5x114.3, written as five-lug on a 114.3 millimeter circle, is a wheel bolt pattern used on a variety of passenger cars and light trucks. The designation means there are five lug holes arranged around a circle whose diameter is 114.3 mm (approximately 4.5 inches). It is one of the more common five-lug patterns found in the aftermarket and on many Japanese-brand vehicles.

Applications and compatibility considerations: The 5x114.3 pattern is associated with a range of models from several manufacturers, particularly in Japanese automotive platforms, and is widely supported by aftermarket wheels. However, wheel compatibility depends on more than the lug pattern. Fitment must also account for center bore size, lug thread size and pitch, wheel width and diameter, offset, and overall clearance with suspension components and the fenders. Some wheels are hub-centric and require a precise hub bore, while others are lug-centric and may use rings or spacers.

Practical notes: If a wheel with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern is installed on a vehicle with a different center bore or offset, issues such as improper seating, rubbing, or vibration can occur. In some cases spacers or adapters are used to achieve proper fitment, but these can affect safety, handling, and legality, and should be chosen carefully and installed by a professional. Always verify exact specifications with the vehicle manufacturer or a reliable fitment database before purchasing wheels.
