6x130 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. 6x130 bolt pattern, or 6x5.12 when converted to inches, indicates the wheel has 6 lug holes spaced evenly on a circle with a diameter of 130 millimeters or 5.12 inches. The 6x130 bolt pattern is common to INEOS, Mercedes-Benz, Dodge and Freightliner models.
The 6x130 bolt pattern is a specific configuration used primarily in the automotive industry, particularly for mounting wheels onto the vehicle's hub. This configuration indicates that the wheel has six lug holes designed to fit around a central hub bore and that these holes are arranged in a circle with a diameter of 130 millimeters. This pattern is not as common as some other bolt configurations, making it particularly associated with certain makes and models, often found in light commercial vehicles, vans, and some European SUVs. For example, it is notably used by Mercedes-Benz in their Sprinter vans, among other vehicles. Finding aftermarket wheels or replacements that fit the 6x130 bolt pattern requires precise matching to ensure compatibility, as the correct bolt pattern is crucial for the safe and appropriate fitment of wheels to the vehicle. Additionally, owners of vehicles with this bolt pattern need to be mindful of other wheel specifications like offset, center bore size, and load rating when selecting new wheels to ensure a safe and correct fit.

6-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 6-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.
