2011 Ford F-150 bolt pattern

The bolt pattern for any 2011 Ford F-150 is 6x5.3, or 6x153mm. If this sounds like a foreign language, don’t worry! We’re here to break it down for you. Every bolt pattern is typically expressed as:

# of bolts/lugs x diameter of the circle they make

A 6x5.3 bolt pattern implies that your truck has six bolts, or lugs, spaced around a circle with a diameter of 5.3 inches. With us so far? Great! But if you’re shopping for new wheels, those aren’t the only numbers you’ll need. To get the correct fit, you’ll also need to know your wheel size and stud size, offset, center bore, and wheel tightening torque:

Factory wheel size: 17”

Stud size: M14 x 1.5

Offset: -44 to 44 mm

Center bore: 87.1 mm

Wheel tightening torque: 204 Nm

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

Don’t just take our word for it, you can measure your Ford F-150’s bolt pattern yourself! All you’ll need is a measuring tape (if you’re in a pinch, even a simple ruler will do the trick!)

Next, pick any one of your truck’s six bolts and measure from the center of the bolt’s hole to the center of the opposite bolt. You should get 5.3 inches or 153 millimeters. This measurement is the diameter.

Pair that number with the number of bolts your vehicle has (six) and presto! You’ve got your bolt pattern: 6x5.3.

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👍
