2009 Jeep Wrangler bolt pattern

The bolt pattern for the 2009 Jeep Wrangler is 5x5 or 5 on 5 just like every other Jeep Wrangler manufactured between 2007 and 2018. If you’re wondering what those numbers actually mean, we’ll explain. Each bolt or lug pattern indicates:

# of bolts x diameter of the circle they form

The Jeep Wrangler’s 5x5 bolt pattern indicates that each wheel has five lugs arranged in a five-inch diameter circle.

However, there are a few more measurements you’ll need to know before you can swap out your Jeep Wrangler’s wheels including stud size, wheel offset, center bore measurement and torque specs. Luckily, we’ve got those listed below:

Factory wheel size: 16” to 18”

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

Offset: -12 to 38 mm

How to measure your Jeep Wrangler’s bolt pattern

If you’re feeling savvy and want to make sure the specifications provided are right for your 2009 Jeep Wrangle, you can take matters into your own hands and measure the bolt pattern for yourself using a ruler or tape measurer.

First count the lugs on your wheel then you’ll measure the diameter of the bolt pattern. Choose a bolt and measure from the outer edge of the lug hole across the circle and to the center of the opposite bolt. You’ll land between two bolts when you measure straight across because you’re Wrangler has five bolts, so just choose either of the nearest bolts.

Pair that measurement with the number of bolts on your wheel and you’ve found your Wrangler’s bolt pattern!
