When it comes to enhancing the performance and aesthetics of your Mercedes, it’s not just about choosing the right wheels; it’s about ensuring they fit perfectly. The key to this precision lies in understanding the Mercedes bolt pattern. This seemingly unassuming set of numbers holds significant importance in achieving the desirable wheel fitment, ensuring both safety and style.
In this article:
What Is The Mercedes Wheel Bolt Pattern?
Most Mercedes models come with a 5×112 or 5×4.41 lug pattern. The first number, ‘5,’ signifies the number of bolt holes on the wheel hub, while the second number denotes the diameter (112 mm or 4.41 inches) between the center of one bolt hole to the back of another across the hub.
However, during our work at Stockton Wheel, we have come across some Mercedes models with different bolt patterns, which we will detail below. The accuracy of this measurement is vital because it ensures the wheels are securely attached to the hub, preventing accidents and maintaining optimal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do BMW Wheels Fit Mercedes?
No. The bolt patterns, hub sizes, and offsets of BMW and Mercedes wheels are typically different. The standard bolt patterns for these two brands differ, with BMW typically employing a 5x120mm configuration, while Mercedes uses a 5x112mm pattern. The varying bolt patterns result in a misalignment, making BMW wheels incompatible with most Mercedes models.
Can You Fit 5×114 To 5×112?
Yes, it is possible to fit a 5×114 wheel onto a 5×112 hub using an adapter. It is designed to bridge the gap between the two different bolt patterns. However, it’s crucial to ensure the bolt adapter is of high quality and properly installed to maintain safety and prevent issues with wheel stability. Additionally, the wheel’s offset and size should be compatible with the vehicle to guarantee a proper fit.
What Wheel Bolts Does Mercedes Use?
Mercedes typically uses alloy wheel bolts with a 12mm or 14mm diameter and 1.5mm thread pitch (M12x1.5 or M14x1.5). These bolts are commonly used for securing alloy wheels to the wheel hub. It’s essential to ensure that the specific size and type of alloy wheel bolts match your Mercedes model, as there may be variations based on the series and production year.
The Bottom Line
The lug pattern may seem like a small technical detail in Mercedes vehicles, but it holds the power to significantly impact your vehicle’s safety, performance, and appearance. To ensure that your wheels fit like a glove and enhance your driving experience, take the time to understand and appreciate the importance of this seemingly unassuming set of numbers. After all, it’s the precision in the details that makes a Mercedes truly exceptional.
