bolt pattern

Hole spacing configuration

A bolt pattern is the arrangement of holes in a wheel or flange, typically described by the number of bolts and the diameter of the circle they form: a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

The term appears most often when matching wheels to vehicles—a wheel must have the correct bolt pattern to fit the hub.

Also called bolt circle or lug pattern.
