2002 Ford Ranger bolt pattern

The bolt pattern for all 2002 Ford Ranger trim levels is 5 x 4.5, or “5 on 4.5.” Your tires have five bolts that form a 4.5-inch (114.3 mm) diameter circle.

If you own a Ford Ranger in Europe, your bolt pattern is likely 6 x 5.5 instead. This means you have six bolts that form a circle 5.5 inches in diameter.

You’ll also need to know your Ranger’s stud size and thread pitch, wheel offset, center bore measurements, and torque specifications if you want to upgrade your wheels:

Factory Wheel Size: 12”, 14”

Stud size: 1/2" x 20 (half-inch stud with 20 threads per square inch)

Offset: -12 to 28 mm

Center bore: 71.5 mm

How to measure your 2002 Ford Ranger bolt pattern

If you want to double-check this information, you can always look it up on your Ranger’s owner’s manual—or you can measure it yourself if you don’t mind getting a little busy! All you need is a ruler or measuring tape.

First, count the number of lugs/bolts on one of your tires (it should be consistent across all of your tires). Your Ford Ranger should have five if you’re in the US.

Then, you need to measure the diameter of the circle the holes form. Since there is an uneven number of bolts, you’ll need to start from one bolt and measure to the center between the two bolts across. (You cannot just measure from one bolt to another.)

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👍
