Jeep lug pattern

for

Grand Cherokees from 2011 to 2020 is 5x5, also written as 5 on 5. If you’re not quite sure what a bolt pattern or lug pattern is, here’s a helpful guide to how they’re written:

# of bolts x diameter of the circle they form

The 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee is 5x5, which means your wheels have five lugs each set in a circle five inches in diameter. But if you want to change out your wheels, you’ll need to know a few other measurements, too. Below is everything you’ll need to swap your wheels, including the size of the wheel, the stud size, the offset, the center bore, and the wheel tightening torque:

Factory wheel size: 17”, 18’’, 20”

Stud size: M14 x 1.5

Offset: 25 to 45mm

Center bore: 71.5 mm

How to measure your Jeep Grand Cherokee’s bolt pattern

The measurements listed above should be all you need if you’re planning on getting some wheel mods. Of course, if you want to be extra sure, you can double-check by measuring your Grand Cherokee’s bolt pattern yourself.

To do so, grab a ruler or measuring tape. Pick a bolt and measure straight across the circle. Since the 2012 Grand Cherokee has 5 bolts, you’ll be in between bolts on the other side. That straight-across measurement is your diameter. Combine it with the number of bolts on the wheel, and ta-da—you’ve got your lug pattern!
