2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee bolt pattern

The 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee has a bolt pattern of 5 x 5 or 5 on 5. The first number indicates the number of bolts on each tire—five in the case of the 2006 Grand Cherokee—and the second number indicates the diameter of each hole—5 inches.

This is not enough on its own. You'll also need to know things like the wheel size, offset, stud size and thread pitch, center bore measurements and torque specifications. Here's what you need to know:

Factory Wheel Size: 17 inches, 20 inches

Stud size: M12 x 1.75 (12 mm stud thread and 1.75 mm thread spacing)

Offset: 30 mm to 45 mm

Center bore: 71.5 mm

Wheel tightening torque: 115 to 150 Nm

That’s a lot to break down—but it’s fairly easy to understand. The size of the hole in the center of the wheel where it attaches to the car's hub is referred to as the center bore size. It is preferable for the wheels to have a center bore that matches the hub to prevent vibrations. Because of this, certain factory-issue wheels are hub-centric.

Stud size and thread pitch simply describe the bolts required to secure your tires to your vehicle, ensuring that you do not select ones that are too large or little. Wheel offset is a little trickier. Offset relates to how the wheels are mounted in the wheel wells, indicating how much space is available on either side of the wheel.

It is critical to get this right, because a wheel with the incorrect offset may rub against components in your car.

How to measure your 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee pattern

Believe it or not, you can actually check bolt patterns yourself, right at home! You may have to get your hands dirty, but it is doable. All you need is a ruler or measuring tape and you can double-check whether your 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee really has a 5 x 5 bolt pattern.

The first thing you need to do is pretty simple—count the number of bolts on your wheels. For the 2006 Grand Cherokee, each wheel should have five bolts.

The following step is a little more difficult because the 2006 Grand Cherokee has a five-bolt setup. You must measure the distance between one bolt and the center of the two bolts across from it. Other bolt configurations (specifically, some even-numbered bolts) are less difficult because you may just measure the bolt directly across. However, once you get this measurement, which should be five inches, you will have your diameter.

And there you have it! Combine the two—five bolts and five inches—to create your bolt pattern: 5 x 5.
