When it comes to Jeep ownership, mods are a routine method of optimizing vehicle capabilities. So it’s no surprise that changing out a Jeep’s factory wheels for a larger, more durable set is one of the most common mods among Jeep owners. However, before you swap out that factory set, you’ll need to know your Jeep’s bolt pattern.

2001 Jeep Wrangler bolt pattern

The bolt pattern for a 2001 Jeep Wrangler is 5x4.5, or 5 on 4.5. If those numbers mean nothing to you, we’ll break down what they stand for. When it comes to bolt and

lug patterns

, each pattern can be expressed as:

# of bolts x diameter of the circle they form

Simply put, a 5x4.5 lug pattern refers to the five lugs on each wheel that are set in a circle that's 4.5 inches in diameter.

While this number is important, it’s not the only measurement you’ll need to know to change your wheels. You should also know your Jeep’s stud size, wheel offset, center bore measurement, and last but not least, torque specifications:

Factory wheel size: 15”

Stud size: 1/2x20 (1/2 inch stud with 20 threads per inch)

Offset: Medium (25)

Center bore: 71.5 mm

Lug nut torque: 176.3 Nm
