2006 Mustang GT bolt pattern

The 2006 Mustang GT bolt pattern is 5x4.5, which means each wheel has five bolts or lugs arranged in a four-and-a-half-inch diameter circle.

Every bolt pattern is expressed as:

# of bolts x diameter of the circle they form

But wait, there’s more. You’ll also need to know your Mustang GT’s stud size, wheel offset and center bore measurement before you can upgrade your wheels. We’ve got those measurements listed here:

Factory wheel size: 16” to 17”

Stud size: M12 x 1.76 (12 mm stud thread and 1.76 mm thread spacing)

Offset: 20 to 45 mm

Center bore: 70.5 mm

How to measure your 2006 Mustang GT bolt pattern

If you ever forget your 2006 Mustang GT

lug pattern

or just want to know how to find the bolt pattern yourself, we’ll teach you how! You just need a ruler or measuring tape to get started.

Count the number of bolts on your wheel to get the first number in your bolt pattern and then measure the diameter of the imaginary circle for the second spec. Just choose a bolt and measure from the outer edge of the lug hole to the center of the opposite bolt.

Pair the number of bolts with that measurement and you’ve got your Mustang GT’s bolt pattern!
