What Cars Have a 5×112 Bolt Pattern? | Fitment Facts

A 5×112 bolt pattern fits most modern Audi, Volkswagen, and Mercedes-Benz models, plus select BMW, Porsche, and Toyota vehicles, but the lug count is only the starting point.

If you’re hunting for wheels, the 5×112 bolt pattern is one of the most common fitments in the European car world. It means the wheel has five lug holes arranged on a circle measuring 112 millimeters in diameter — sometimes written as 5×4.4 inches in U.S. sizing. That simple measurement opens the door to a huge range of factory and aftermarket wheels, but knowing the full list of compatible cars matters less than understanding which models use it and what else has to line up before you buy.

Which Car Brands and Models Use 5×112?

Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and Volkswagen are the brands most frequently connected with the 5×112 bolt pattern, according to wheel fitment databases. The pattern also appears on BMW, Porsche, Toyota, McLaren, Bentley, Rolls-Royce, SEAT, Škoda, and related vehicles, making it a genuinely widespread standard across modern European engineering.

Some of the commonly cited current-fitment examples include:

• Volkswagen: Atlas, Beetle, CC, Eos, Eurovan, Golf, GLI, Passat, Phaeton, R32, Rabbit, and Tiguan
• Audi: A3, A4, A5, A6, Q3, Q5, Q7, and TT
• Mercedes-Benz: the 107, 116, 124, 126, 129, 140, 163, 170, 201, 202, 203, 208, 210, 215, and 220 chassis generations
• BMW: 3 Series, 4 Series, 5 Series, X3, X5, and X6
• Others: Porsche Macan, Toyota GR Supra, and various Bentley and Rolls-Royce models

That list covers a lot of ground, but it’s not exhaustive. If you own a European vehicle built in the last two decades, there’s a strong chance 5×112 is your fitment.

Is 5×112 the Same as 5×4.4 or 5×4.41?

Yes — 5×112 and 5×4.4 (or 5×4.41) describe the exact same bolt pattern. The first number is metric, measuring the pitch circle diameter in millimeters; the second is the inch equivalent of that same 112 mm circle. When you see 5×4.41 on an American parts listing, it’s referring to the same five-lug, 112 mm pattern you’d find on a German sedan.

That inch conversion is handy when shopping U.S. catalogs, but it introduces a real trap: several other five-lug patterns land close to 4.4 inches, and a wheel that’s off by even a few millimeters won’t seat properly.

Does a 5×112 Bolt Pattern Guarantee a Wheel Will Fit?

No. Bolt pattern is just one of five measurements that must all line up for a wheel to fit safely. A wheel with 5×112 lugs can only be considered compatible if these also match your vehicle:

• Center bore: the diameter of the hole in the wheel’s center must match or exceed the hub’s diameter, with hub-centric rings filling any gap
• Offset: the wheel’s mounting surface position relative to its centerline, which affects clearance and handling
• Brake clearance: the wheel’s inner barrel must clear your calipers and rotors
• Thread size: the lug bolts or nuts must match your hubs — Mercedes-Benz references alone show different stud sizes across chassis, including 12×1.5 and 14×1.5

Matching bolt pattern alone is never enough. The Mercedes-Benz documentation shows different stud sizes on different chassis, so a wheel that bolts up to one model can still fail on another that shares the same lug count.

How Do You Confirm 5×112 Fitment for Your Car?

The safest way to verify fitment is to measure the pattern yourself or consult a reputable fitment guide. To measure, find the distance between two adjacent lug holes; on a five-lug pattern, multiply that distance by 1.701 to get the bolt circle diameter. For a 5×112 pattern, adjacent holes should measure roughly 65.8 mm apart.

You can also check your owner’s manual or look up your exact year and model in a wheel fitment database. Those references confirm which vehicles use the pattern, but your specific trim level and any aftermarket brake upgrades can still change what fits.

Once you’ve confirmed the fitment specs, the next step is finding wheels that match all five measurements. We’ve rounded up the current top options to help with that comparison: see our tested picks for the best 5×112 bolt pattern wheels if you’re ready to shop.

FAQs

Can 5×112 wheels fit on a 5×114.3 vehicle?

No. A 5×114.3 pattern (common on many Japanese and American vehicles) has lug holes on a larger 114.3 mm circle. The 2.3 mm difference means the holes won’t align with your studs, and forcing the wheel on is dangerous. Adapters exist, but they change your wheel’s offset and add a failure point.

Do all Volkswagen models use the 5×112 pattern?

No. While many current VW models use 5×112, older models and some smaller vehicles use other patterns. For example, many rear-wheel-drive VWs and certain older front-drive models use 4×100 or 5×100 instead. Always verify your specific model year before buying wheels rather than assuming based on the brand.

Are hub-centric rings necessary for 5×112 wheels?

Often, yes. If your aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than your vehicle’s hub, hub-centric rings fill that gap and center the wheel precisely on the hub. Without them, the wheel relies entirely on the lug bolts for centering, which can cause vibrations at highway speeds. Many factory 5×112 wheels are hub-centric from the factory.
