The 2021 Jeep Gladiator bolt pattern is 5x5 or “5 on 5.” This means the tires of a Gladiator have five bolts that each have a diameter of 5 inches.

Imagine if the Jeep Wrangler has an off-roading cousin that can do everything it can do…with a bit more of a practical touch. That’s the 2021 Jeep Gladiator, a Wrangler that is also a pickup, with healthy payload and tow ratings and bed design. Did we forget to mention—it’s also the only modern convertible pickup.

If you’re already interested in off-roading, you probably have an idea of whether you’d like to replace the factory-issue tires—or you may be prepared to replace them a tad more often than the normal driver! Whatever the case may be, here’s a

2021 Jeep Gladiator bolt pattern

The

2021 Jeep Gladiator has a bolt pattern

of 5x5, or “5” on 5.” This means that your tires have five bolts that each form a 5-inch (127-mm) diameter circle.

If you’re looking to

change your tires

, knowing a bolt pattern by itself won’t do. You’re also going to need to know about your Gladiator’s stud size and thread pitch, wheel offset, center bore measurements, and torque specifications. All of this is helpful if you want to upgrade your wheels.

Factory Wheel Size: 17 inches, 18 inches, 20 inches

Stud size: M14 x 1.5 (14 mm stud thread and 1.5 mm thread spacing)

Offset: N/A

Center bore: 71.5 mm

Wheel tightening torque: 176 Nm

Let’s break down what all that means—just in case. Center bore is the name given to the size of the hole in the center of the wheel on the hub of the car. It’s important for wheels to have a center bore that matches with the hub as this reduces vibrations. Some factory wheels are manufactured to be hub-centric.

Stud size is exactly what it sounds like. It describes the studs, or the bolts, which you use to fix your tires to your car. Wheel tightening torque is also easy to understand as it tells you exactly how much force to use when tightening those studs, or bolts.

How to measure your 2021 Jeep Gladiator bolt pattern

If you’d like to double check some of this information, you can do one of two things. Either check your owners manual, or, if you don’t mind getting your hands a little dirty, measure it yourself! That’s right—you can do it right at home, and all you need is a measuring tape or a ruler.

The first bit is very easy. All you have to do is count the number of bolts that are on your wheels. For the 2021 Jeep Gladiator, there should be five of these.

The next part is a little tricky, especially since it’s a five bolt tire. Since there’s an uneven number of bolts, you need to start measuring the distance from one bolt and measure it to the center between the two bolts across (it’s hard to measure the bolt directly across, as there isn’t one). Once you’ve done that, that’s the diameter.

And that’s it. You now have your bolt pattern, along with anything else you need to know if you’re deciding on changing the tires on your 2021 Jeep Gladiator.
