5x112 Bolt Pattern: Which Trucks & SUVs Use It?

What Is the 5x112 Bolt Pattern?

The 5x112 bolt pattern means your wheel has 5 lug holes spaced evenly on a circle with a 112mm diameter. That 112mm measurement — called the Pitch Circle Diameter (PCD) — is the key spec that determines whether a wheel physically bolts onto your hub. Get it wrong by even a few millimeters and the wheel simply won't seat correctly, creating dangerous play or making installation impossible altogether.

While 5x112 is best known as the dominant bolt pattern across the Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG) lineup of passenger cars, it has steadily migrated into a number of premium trucks and SUVs as European automakers expanded their utility vehicle offerings. If you're shopping for aftermarket wheels for a European-origin truck or crossover, there's a strong chance 5x112 is the spec you need.

Which Trucks and SUVs Use the 5x112 Bolt Pattern?

Below is a breakdown of the most common trucks and SUVs running 5x112, organized by manufacturer. Always verify your specific model year and trim, as automakers occasionally change bolt patterns across generations.

Audi

• Audi Q5 (2009–present) — One of the most popular luxury compact SUVs in North America, the Q5 has used 5x112 across all generations.
• Audi Q7 (2007–present) — Audi's full-size three-row SUV runs 5x112 throughout its production history.
• Audi Q8 (2019–present) — The flagship coupe-SUV also uses 5x112, typically in larger 20–22" diameters from the factory.
• Audi Q3 (2015–present) — The entry-level Audi SUV shares the same bolt pattern as its larger siblings.
• Audi SQ5, SQ7, SQ8 — All performance variants of Audi's SUV lineup retain the 5x112 pattern.

Volkswagen

• VW Touareg (2003–present) — VW's flagship SUV has used 5x112 across all three generations.
• VW Tiguan (2009–present) — North America's best-selling VW model runs 5x112 on both the standard and long-wheelbase versions.
• VW Atlas (2018–present) — VW's three-row family SUV, built specifically for the North American market, uses 5x112.
• VW Atlas Cross Sport (2020–present) — The two-row coupe variant of the Atlas also runs 5x112.
• VW ID.4 (2021–present) — VW's electric crossover joins the 5x112 family as well.

Mercedes-Benz

• Mercedes GLC (2016–present) — The popular compact luxury SUV uses 5x112 across all variants including the GLC 300 and GLC 43 AMG.
• Mercedes GLE (2016–present) — The mid-size GLE and its coupe variant (GLE Coupe) both run 5x112.
• Mercedes GLS (2020–present) — Mercedes' flagship three-row SUV uses 5x112 in its current generation.
• Mercedes G-Class (2019–present) — The iconic G-Wagon switched to 5x112 starting with the W464 generation in 2019, a notable change from earlier patterns.
• Mercedes GLB (2020–present) — The boxy compact SUV also uses 5x112.
• Mercedes EQB, EQC, EQE SUV, EQS SUV — Mercedes' growing electric SUV lineup all use 5x112.

BMW

BMW is a notable exception in the European luxury segment — most BMW SUVs use a 5x120 bolt pattern rather than 5x112. However, there are exceptions worth knowing:

• BMW X1 (F48, 2016–2022) and X2 (F39) — These front-wheel-drive-based models use 5x112, breaking from BMW's traditional 5x120 pattern.
• BMW X1 (U11, 2023–present) — The latest generation also runs 5x112.

Porsche

• Porsche Cayenne (2003–present) — All generations of the Cayenne use 5x130, not 5x112 — an important distinction for Porsche owners shopping for wheels.
• Porsche Macan (2015–present) — The Macan, however, uses 5x112, sharing its platform origins with the Audi Q5.

Key Fitment Specs Beyond Bolt Pattern

Matching the 5x112 bolt pattern is the first step, but it's not the only measurement that matters. To ensure a safe, flush fit with no rubbing or excessive poke, you'll also need to verify:

• Center Bore: Most 5x112 European vehicles use a 57.1mm center bore. Mercedes models often use 66.6mm. Always confirm your vehicle's hub bore and choose a wheel with a matching or larger bore (using hub-centric rings to fill any gap).
• Offset (ET): European SUVs typically run higher positive offsets — commonly ET35 to ET55. Going too low (more negative) can cause rubbing on suspension components or fender lips.
• Load Rating: Larger SUVs like the Q7, GLS, and Atlas require wheels with higher load ratings to safely support vehicle weight.
• Diameter and Width: Factory fitments on 5x112 SUVs range from 17" to 22", with widths typically between 7.5" and 10".

Is 5x112 the Same as 5x4.41?

Yes — 5x112mm converts to approximately 5x4.41 inches. You may see both measurements used on wheel spec sheets, particularly when comparing American and European fitment charts. They are identical bolt patterns, just expressed in different units of measurement.

Can You Use an Adapter to Fit 5x112 Wheels on Other Vehicles?

Wheel adapters can convert one bolt pattern to another — for example, allowing a 5x114.3 vehicle to run 5x112 wheels. However, adapters add width to your fitment and can affect handling dynamics if not properly engineered. For daily-driven vehicles and SUVs, we generally recommend sourcing wheels that natively match your vehicle's bolt pattern for the safest, most reliable setup.
