Learn how to choose the right wheels for your Ford Raptor. LMR explains bolt patterns, fitment, and key tips to save time, money, and frustration.
The bolt pattern is the diameter of the circle made by the centers of your Ford Raptor's wheel lugs. Luckily, for Ford Raptor owners, things have not changed between the first 3 generations, making things much easier for adding aftermarket wheels to your Raptor.

| 2010-2014 Ford Raptor | 17x8.5" | 6x135mm | 6.09" | +34mm |
| 2017-2020 Ford Raptor | 17x8.5" | 6x135mm | 6.09 | +34mm |

The bolt pattern, also called the bolt circle, refers to the diameter of an imaginary circle that runs through the center of the wheel’s lug holes. Patterns are commonly found in 4, 5, 6, or 8-lug configurations depending on the vehicle application. The first number identifies how many lug holes are present on the wheel hub face, while the second number represents the diameter of that imaginary circle. For example, a 4x100 pattern means four lug holes positioned on a circle with a 100mm diameter. Manufacturers may use either metric or standard measurements, so you’ll see variations such as 5x114.3mm or 5x4.5”. Understanding bolt patterns is essential when selecting wheels, wheel spacers, or even hub and brake rotor components.
For example, on a 5-lug or a wheel with an odd number of lug holes, you will need to measure from the middle point of one hole to the back end of the hole across from it.

The center bore of your Raptor wheels is where the center cap is found. This center bore diameter can come into play for a few different reasons. Depending on the application, some brake rotors, dust caps, or hardware can cause interference with wheel fitment if this is incorrect.

When it comes to Ford Raptors, there are two different stud sizes.

2015-2025 Ford Raptor - M14x1.5
