The 2013 Honda Civic uses a 5x4.5 bolt pattern, which means that there are five bolts on each wheel and the bolts form a circle 4.5 inches in diameter.
With excellent crash test scores, great fuel economy, and some of the lowest repair costs in the industry, the 2013 Honda Civic is a powerhouse of a car. In fact, the Civic has been a top-three-selling car in the U.S. for five decades!
That doesn’t mean, though, that Civics are immune from one of the most common banes of car ownership—less-than-impressive wheels. For that reason, you should familiarize yourself with the Civic’s bolt pattern. Read on for everything you need to buy new wheels.

The bolt (aka lug) pattern for all Honda Civics manufactured from 2006 to present (including the 2013 model) is 5x4.5. This is pronounced as 5 on 4.5.
If you’re a bit perplexed by that, we can explain. All bolt patterns can be expressed by the following formula:
# of bolts x diameter of the circle they form
Therefore, a 5x4.5 bolt pattern indicates that each of your Civic’s wheels has five bolts arranged in a circle 4.5 inches in diameter. That’s good to know, but it’s not the only measurement that you’ll need to keep in mind if you’re going to swap out your wheels anytime soon.
You should also familiarize yourself with the following measurements:
Factory wheel size: 15” to 17”
Wheel tightening torque: 108 Nm
How to measure your Honda Civic’s bolt pattern
The measurements above should tell you everything you need to know about changing out your 2013 Civic’s wheels—but you could always measure for yourself if you’re more of a hands-on type.
You could use a measuring tape or even a humble ruler to figure it out! Just choose a bolt and carefully measure the distance to the opposite bolt.
Remember, though, that the Civic has a total of five bolts, so measuring straight across won’t quite work. Instead, pick either of the nearest bolts and measure from the outside edge of one lug hole to the center of the opposite bolt.
The number that you end up with is your diameter. Combine that with the number of bolts per wheel, and voila! You have your bolt pattern.

got me out of a bind! I bought a new car, and my existing insurance raised my prices and didn’t budge. Thankfully, Jerry got me an affordable rate without me waiting for phone calls all day.” —Felicia M.
