2017 Nissan Maxima bolt pattern

A 2017 Nissan Maxima has a

bolt pattern

of 5x4.5. Bolt patterns, also known as lug patterns, are typically expressed in the following way:

# of bolts x diameter of the circle they form

A 5x4.5 lug pattern means that your Maxima's wheels have six lugs each, which are set in a circle 4.5 inches in diameter.

Your bolt pattern isn’t the only metric you may need to change your wheels—it’s also good to know the stud size, wheel offset, center bore measurement and torque specifications:

Factory wheel size: 18” or 19”

Stud size: M12 x 1.25

Offset: 35 to 53 mm

Center bore: 66.1 mm

Wheel tightening torque: 112 Nm

How to measure your Nissan Maxima’s bolt pattern

The measurements above should be more than enough information to have your wheels swapped out, but if you’d like to double-check the bolt pattern, we have a way to calculate it for yourself.

Start by finding a measuring tape or basic ruler. Next, pick a bolt and measure from its outer edfe to the center of the lug hole opposite it.

Since there are an odd number of bolts, if you measure straight across, you will wind up in between the bolts. Simply choose the one you are between and measure to the center of that one.

Once you have your diameter measurement, just put it together with the number of bolts on the wheel and you’ve got your bolt pattern!
