5x100 Bolt Pattern Wheels
The 5x100 bolt pattern uses five lugs spaced across a 100mm circle, and it shows up on a tight but enthusiast-heavy group of cars. This page is for owners of those vehicles who want to confirm fitment before buying wheels and see which brands and sizes are realistic options.
What to know
5x100 is common on sport compacts and lighter platforms, so you'll see plenty of lightweight, track-friendly wheels in this drilling. Most of these cars run modest brake clearance and stock fenders, which means offset (ET) and width matter as much as the pattern itself. On the Subaru and Toyota coupes, mid-to-high positive offsets in the +38 to +48 range keep tires tucked, while wider setups usually need careful measuring or spacers.
Always confirm three things together: the 5x100 bolt pattern, the center bore, and the wheel size. A wheel can have the right lug spacing and still not seat correctly if the bore is too small or the offset pushes the tire into a fender or strut. Hub-centric rings solve most bore mismatches but never substitute for checking offset.

Frequently asked questions
Is 5x100 the same as 5x114.3? No. They share five lugs but different circle diameters, so they are not interchangeable. Confirm your exact pattern before ordering.
Can I run wider wheels on a 5x100 car? Often yes, but you may need a lower offset or spacers to clear suspension and avoid rubbing. Measure your current setup first.
Do I need hub-centric rings? Usually, since most aftermarket wheels have a larger bore than these hubs. Rings center the wheel and prevent vibration at speed.
