2000 Ford Ranger bolt pattern

In 2000, the bolt pattern for all Ford Rangers, regardless of wheel size, was 5x4.5. If you’re new to the world of wheels and lug patterns (and we assume most people are), you may need a bit more information than that. Let’s break it down.

No matter what your make, model, and year of production, your vehicle has a bolt pattern, also sometimes referred to as a lug pattern, that’s expressed as

# of bolts x diameter of the circle they form

This means your 2000 Ford Ranger’s 5x4.5 lug pattern describes a wheel with five bolts set in a circle that forms a 4.5-inch diameter.

If you’re looking to swap out your Ranger’s rims for a fresh set, though, you’ll need a bit more information to make sure you’ve got the right fit. Here’s what you need:

Factory wheel size: 14” for XL and 15” for XLT

Stud size: 12x1.25 (12mm stud with 1.25mm thread spacing)

Offset: 10 to 18 mm

Center bore: 70.6 mm

Wheel tightening torque: 100 ft-lbs

How to measure your 2000 Ford Ranger’s bolt pattern

If you want to check your Ranger’s lug pattern for yourself, or you’ve got another vehicle you need to know these specs on, we’ve got the steps you need to figure it out for yourself.

Measuring a vehicle’s lug pattern is simple—just grab a ruler or measuring tape and measure from the outside edge of the bolt to the bolt directly across from it. Since the Ranger has 5 bolts, they’ll be offset slightly, so measure to the point in between the two bolts opposite the bolt you chose. This will get you the diameter of the circle for a 5-bolt wheel. On your Ranger, that measure will be 4.5 inches, giving you your 5x4.5 pattern.

This app is great, but the customer service is even better! Not to mention convenient! My husband and I got the lowest rate (much lower than the rates I was finding online through my own searches), quickly, and pretty much all through text message! Thank you so much for a hassle free experience👍
