The bolt pattern for a 2000 Jeep Wrangler is 5x4.5”, which is sometimes listed as 5x114.3 mm. But you’ll need to know more numbers than just the bolt pattern alone before buying new wheels.

Your 2000 Jeep Wrangler just won’t quit. More than two decades on, and it’s still going strong. But you may need to replace the wheels—maybe for aesthetics or maybe because the old rims are beaten up from all that rock crawling you do on the weekends. Either way, you’ll want to know the bolt pattern for a 2000 Jeep Wrangler.

2000 Jeep Wrangler bolt pattern

Jeep’s legendary reliability stems from keeping things simple wherever possible, so

Jeep lug patterns

tend to be fairly uniform. Every Jeep Wrangler built between 1986 and 2006 uses the same bolt pattern of 5x5.45”, which is sometimes referred to as 5x114.3mm. Most (but not all) Jeeps built in that era had the same bolt pattern as your Wrangler, too.

The bolt pattern, also known as the lug pattern, shows the number of bolts (or lugs) on each wheel, followed by the diameter of the circle formed by those lugs. In other words, your Wrangler’s wheels each have five lugs with a diameter of 5.45” across.

But hang on! You’re not quite ready to go buy new wheels just yet. First, you’re going to need to know some other important numbers to make sure your new wheels fit safely and properly:

Factory wheel size: 15”

Stud size: ½” x 20 (the stud is half an inch, with 20 threads per inch)

Offset: 25 mm

Center bore: 71.5 mm

Wheel tightening torque: 156 Nm (115 ft.-lbs)

How to measure your Jeep Wrangler’s bolt pattern

All of that information we just provided should help you find the right wheels for your 2000 Jeep Wrangler, but measuring a bolt pattern is super easy, so why not learn how to do it yourself?

All you need to measure any vehicle’s bolt pattern is either a ruler or a measuring tape, preferably one that shows both imperial (inches) and metric (millimeters and centimeters) measurements. Some cars use metric measurements instead of imperial ones.

Count how many bolts/ lugs the wheel has, then pick any one bolt and measure the distance from the outer edge of the lug hole to the center of the lug directly opposite it. If the wheel has an odd number of bolts like your Wrangler has, measure to the center of either of the nearest bolts.
