2002 Ford F-150 bolt pattern

The bolt pattern for a 2002 Ford F-150 across all trim levels is 5 x 5.3 or 5 on 5.3. This means that each wheel has five bolts and the “circle” formed by a bolt hole has a diameter of 5.3 inches (135 mm). 
It’s also important to know your F-150’s stud size (lug size and thread pitch/spacing), wheel offset, center bore measurement, and torque specifications:
  • Factory Wheel Size: 16-18”, depending on your trim
  • Stud size: M14 x 2.0 (14mm stud with 2mm thread pitch/spacing)
  • Offset:-10 to 25 mm
  • Center bore: 87.1 mm
  • Wheel tightening torque: 204 Nm

How to measure your Ford F-150’s bolt pattern

The above specification should be all you need to start tire changes on your 2002 Ford F-150, but if you want to be sure for yourself, there’s a way you can check!
You need a measuring tape (or a basic ruler). How you measure depends on how many studs (lugs) you have. Once you figure out how many lugs you have, you now know the first part of your bolt pattern (5).
You now need a diameter. Since the F-150 has five-lug wheels, you should measure from the middle point of one hole to the back end of the hole across from it. Once you know what that measurement is, you have your diameter and your bolt pattern!

How to optimize your F-150’s insurance coverage

Wheel changes are one of many ways to upgrade your F-150 from its basic factory state. Other upgrades can range from grill guards to performance tuners.
While modding can make your vehicle more valuable, it does make it riskier for insurance companies. All insurance companies calculate risk in different ways, so you should be shopping around for a new rate after an aftermarket mod using the Jerry app.
