5x100 Bolt Pattern
A bolt pattern, or lug pattern, is a parameter that defines the number of lug holes in the wheel and the diameter of the circle (PCD, Pitch Circle Diameter) that the lug holes form. 5x100 bolt pattern, or 5x3.94 when converted to inches, indicates the wheel has 5 lug holes spaced evenly on a circle with a diameter of 100 millimeters or 3.94 inches. The 5x100 bolt pattern is common to Toyota, Scion, Lexus, Saab and Subaru models.
The 5x100 bolt pattern is a specific arrangement used in the automotive industry to secure wheels onto the vehicle's hubs. This configuration features five bolt holes arranged in a circular pattern, with a diameter of 100mm (millimeters) measured from the center of one bolt hole to the center of the farthest bolt hole. This design is notable for its application in a variety of vehicles, offering a balance between strength and versatility. The 5x100 bolt pattern is commonly found in several manufacturers' models, including but not limited to, certain versions of Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen, and Chrysler. This particular spacing and number of bolts are chosen to ensure an even distribution of force when the wheel is mounted, contributing to safer driving conditions and improved vehicle performance. Vehicle owners must be aware of their wheel bolt pattern when purchasing replacement wheels or rims, as compatibility is key to ensuring the correct fit and maintaining vehicle safety standards.

5-Lug Pattern Torque Sequence
The lug bolt pattern torque sequence is a critical procedure designed to ensure that the wheel is mounted securely and uniformly on the vehicle's hub, preventing potential issues such as wheel vibration or hub damage. This sequence varies slightly depending on the number of lug bolts but always follows a pattern that promotes even distribution of force. When tightening lug nuts or bolts on a wheel with a 5-lug pattern, follow the torque sequence shown below to ensure even and secure tightening. The process usually involves multiple passes: initially tightening bolts to a lower torque setting to seat the wheel properly, followed by final tightening to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification using a calibrated torque wrench. Adhering to this sequence and using the correct torque ensures the wheel is balanced and securely attached, reducing the risk of brake rotor warping and ensuring the safety of the vehicle.
