Lug pattern terminology 101
A lug pattern is read as two numbers: # of lug holes x the diameter of the circle they form.
Knowing your lug pattern is essential to finding new rims for your car. Here are some other important terms that you’ll need to know when changing your Mercedes-Benz wheels:
- OEM wheel size: This refers to the original tire size that your Mercedes-Benz came equipped with from the factory.
- Offset: This measures the distance from your wheel’s mounting surface to the center of the rim. Offset generally indicates how your car’s wheels are positioned in relation to the centerline of your vehicle when mounted.
- Stud size: Written as stud diameter x threads per inch in the U.S., stud size helps you determine what size lug bolts and lug nuts you need.
- Center bore: Your wheel’s center bore keeps everything centered—hubs and all. It’ll also help reduce vibration from your wheels.
When you need your Mercedes Benz lug pattern
You need to know your car’s lug pattern if you’re interested in changing the wheels on your Mercedes Benz.
How it works: Your car’s wheels are secured to your car via bolt holes where your rims attach to the hubs. Your lug bolt pattern measures the number of holes and the distance they’re spaced from one another.
Keep in mind: In addition to the lug pattern, you’ll need to know the wheel size, offset, stud size, and hub/center bore measurements when changing your Mercedes-Benz wheels.

How to measure your Mercedes Benz lug pattern
You just need a ruler to check your Mercedes Benz lug pattern on your own:
- Count the lugs on your car’s wheels. Most Mercedes Benz will have five lug holes—but some may have four, six, or even eight.
- Find the diameter of the circle these bolts form in inches using the instructions below.
- Enter these values into the lug pattern equation: # of lug holes x diameter.
There are two ways to measure lug pattern diameter depending on the number of lug holes:
- Even number of lug holes: Measure from the center of one lug hole to the center of the other lug hole directly across from it.
- Odd number of lug holes: Measuring from the outer edge of one lug hole to the center of either of the furthest lug holes opposite.
Pro tip: Tools like a bolt pattern gauge can help you measure your lug pattern more quickly. You can typically find them for cheap—they’re only $9 onAmazon!

In addition to Mercedes Benz, car makes like Audi, Volkswagen, and BMWs also use a 5x112 lug pattern.
Will Mercedes wheels fit an Audi?
Not necessarily: Despite having similar lug patterns, Mercedes wheels and Audi wheels differ in size between offset, stud size, and center bore. Check the specific measurements of each before attempting to interchange wheels across makes.
