PCD and centre bore by make: BMW, Audi, VW, Porsche, Tesla

In short. A car's make does not tell you its PCD. Across the 39 generations our design office has documented, BMW uses two: 5x120 on the generations launched up to 2015 (M2 F87, M3 E46 and F80, M4 F82, M5 F10, X5 M, X6 M) and 5x112 on those launched since 2017 (M3 G80, M4 G82, M5 F90, 1 Series, 3 Series, X5). Tesla uses two as well: 5x114.3 on the Model 3 and Model Y, 5x120 on the Model S and Model X. Porsche is 5x130 throughout, except the Macan, which is 5x112. The Audis, Golfs, Mercedes-AMG A-Class and MINI we have documented are all 5x112. And the same PCD does not make the same wheel: on 5x112 cars the centre bore is 57.1, 66.5 or 66.6 mm depending on the car, and the bolt thread M14 x 1.5 or M14 x 1.25. Every figure below comes from a manufacturer's own document or from at least two specialist sources that agree; otherwise we write "not published". Each row links to the car's page on our site, which lists every source with the date it was read: that page has the final word.

PCD, centre bore and thread: what the table gives

The PCD (pitch circle diameter), or bolt pattern, gives the number of bolt holes and the diameter of the circle through their centres: 5x112 is five holes on a circle 112 mm across. A wheel only fits a hub with exactly the same PCD. 5x112 and 5x114.3 differ by only 2.3 mm, and a wheel on the wrong one can seem to go on while its bolts work at an angle.

The centre bore is the diameter of the hole in the middle of the wheel, which sits over the hub. The figure in the table is the car's hub diameter. A wheel with a larger bore needs a hub ring; a wheel with a smaller bore will not go on at all.

The thread and fixing say how the wheel is held: bolts that screw into the hub, or nuts on studs, with a thread pitch (M14 x 1.5 or M14 x 1.25) and a seat, the face of the bolt or nut that presses on the wheel, which must match. The tightening torque is the one your car's manufacturer gives. Our guide to wheel nut torque covers this.

Our guide to PCD, bolt pattern and centre bore explains the three figures and shows how to measure them; the lesson in our Academy, Entraxe et centrage (in French), shows them in diagrams.

How we record a figure

We publish a figure when a primary source gives it: a manufacturer's own document, an original parts or accessories catalogue, or an original part identified by its part number. Failing that, we need at least two independent specialist sources that agree, with no primary source contradicting them. Otherwise the cell reads "not published". Specialist sources are hub-ring and wheel-spacer makers, fitment databases and parts sellers that publish application lists. We do not copy any of those databases: we use them to cross-check, and the right-hand column says how many separate sites give each figure.

One finding stands out: none of the manufacturers' documents we read gives the hub bore of any car in this table. All 36 published bores therefore rest on specialist sources that agree, and three are not published.

The table gives the figures validated on 15 October 2026. It works by generation, and a generation covers several versions: each car's page (in French) says which versions were checked, which original wheel and tyre sizes they take, and where each figure comes from, with the date it was read. If a figure here and one on the car's page ever differ, the car's page is right.

BMW PCD and centre bore: 5x120, then 5x112

The pages for these generations, with the source of each figure: BMW M2 (F87); BMW M3 (E46); BMW M3 (F80); BMW M3 (G80); BMW M4 (F82 and F83); BMW M4 (G82); BMW M5 (F10); BMW M5 (F90); BMW 1 Series (F40); BMW 3 Series (G20); BMW X5 (G05); BMW X5 M (F85); BMW X6 M (F86).

BMW changed PCD along the way. The M3 and M4 go from 5x120 (F80, F82) to 5x112 (G80, G82), the M5 from 5x120 (F10) to 5x112 (F90). The bore follows: 72.6 mm on the M2 F87, M3 E46 and M5 F10, 74.1 mm on the X5 M and X6 M, 66.5 or 66.6 mm on the 5x112 generations. The thread is M14 x 1.25 throughout, except on the E46 M3, which is M12 x 1.5; a cone seat is shown only where a source gives it.

For the F80 M3 and F82 M4, the bore is not published: a single specialist source gives one value, with no manufacturer's document behind it, and two others give a different one. Measure it on the hub, with the wheel off and the car raised and supported on axle stands, never on the jack alone. The gap between 66.5 mm (G80 M3, G82 M4) and 66.6 mm (F90 M5, 1 Series, 3 Series, X5) is a tenth of a millimetre: our sources give those two values for different cars, and we do not settle a gap that small on paper.

Audi PCD and centre bore: 5x112, two bores documented

The pages for these generations, with the source of each figure: Audi A3 and S3 (8V); Audi A3 and S3 (8Y); Audi Q5 and SQ5 (FY); Audi RS 3 (8Y); Audi RS 6 Avant (C8).

All five Audi generations documented are 5x112, with M14 x 1.5 bolts. The bore varies: 57.1 mm on the A3 and S3, the same as the Golf, and 66.5 mm on the Q5, SQ5 and RS 6 Avant. The RS 3 (8Y) bore is not published: on the day of the check, no readable source was sufficient. For the Q5, RS 3 and RS 6, the PCD comes from Audi's original parts catalogue, which writes it the German way, "Felgenlochkreis: 112/5". Our pages for the RS 3 (8V), RS 6 (C7) and RS 7 (C8) are online, but their hub figures have not yet passed our rule, so they are not in the table.

Volkswagen PCD and centre bore: Golf GTI and R

The pages for these generations, with the source of each figure: Volkswagen Golf 7 GTI and R; Volkswagen Golf 8 GTI and R.

The Golf 7 and Golf 8, in GTI and R form, are 5x112 with a 57.1 mm bore and M14 x 1.5 bolts. The PCD comes from Volkswagen's genuine accessories catalogue, which prints "Lochkreis [mm]/Lochzahl: 112/5 mm" on the Golf 8's Bergamo wheel. The versions we checked are GTI and R models; for another Golf, the car's page says what was checked.

Mercedes PCD and centre bore: the AMG A-Class

The page for this generation, with the source of each figure: Mercedes-AMG A 35 and A 45 (W177).

We have documented one Mercedes generation so far: the W177 A-Class as the Mercedes-AMG A 35 and A 45. It is 5x112 on a 66.6 mm hub, with M14 x 1.5 bolts. Other Mercedes models are not documented yet, and we do not carry a figure over from one model to another.

Porsche PCD and centre bore: 5x130, except the Macan

The pages for these generations, with the source of each figure: Porsche 718 Boxster (982); Porsche 718 Cayman (982); Porsche 911 (991); Porsche 911 (992); Porsche Cayenne (E2, 92A); Porsche Cayenne (E3, 9YA, and Coupé); Porsche Macan (95B); Porsche Panamera (971); Porsche Taycan (Y1A).

Eight of the nine Porsche generations documented share the same hub: 5x130, 71.6 mm, M14 x 1.5 bolts. The Macan (95B) is the exception, at 5x112 on a 66.5 mm hub. On centre-lock 911s and Taycans, a single central nut replaces the five bolts, as the Porsche bulletins cited on those cars' pages state. Our 911 (997) page is online, with no validated hub figures so far.

Tesla PCD and centre bore: 5x114.3 or 5x120, one bore

The pages for these generations, with the source of each figure: Tesla Model 3; Tesla Model 3 Highland; Tesla Model S; Tesla Model S; Tesla Model X; Tesla Model X; Tesla Model Y; Tesla Model Y Juniper.

Tesla uses two PCDs: 5x114.3 on the Model 3 and Model Y, 5x120 on the Model S and Model X, across generations. The bore is the same on all eight generations documented, 64.1 mm, and the wheel is held by M14 x 1.5 nuts on studs. The Tesla service manuals cited on the cars' pages give the nut fixing; the PCD and the bore come from specialist sources that agree. A 60 degree cone seat is given by two sources for the Model Y only.

MINI PCD and centre bore

The page for this generation, with the source of each figure: MINI 3-door hatch (F56).

The F56 MINI 3-door hatch is 5x112 on a 66.6 mm hub, with M14 x 1.25 bolts: the same bore and thread as the BMW 1 Series, 3 Series and X5 in the table.

Land Rover and other makes: no validated figures yet

Our Land Rover pages (in French) are online, but no hub figure for the Defender or the Range Rover Sport has passed our rule yet. They are not in the table, and we do not fill the gap with a value lifted from a third-party database. The same goes, for now, for the other makes on our site. The table will grow as more generations are documented.

The table by PCD

Each PCD page (in French) lists the cars concerned and their bores, with their sources.

What the table shows

1. The make does not give you the PCD. BMW, Tesla and Porsche each use two in this table alone. A "one make, one bolt pattern" chart goes wrong by the second generation.
2. The same PCD does not mean the same bore. On 5x112 there are three bores: 57.1, 66.5 and 66.6 mm. On 5x120, three as well: 64.1 mm (Tesla), 72.6 mm and 74.1 mm (BMW).
3. The same PCD and the same bore are still not enough. The Porsche Macan (95B) and the BMW M3 (G80) share 5x112 and 66.5 mm, but not the thread: M14 x 1.5 on one, M14 x 1.25 on the other. One car's bolts do not go into the other's hub. Then come the bolt seat, the width and offset of the wheel, and brake clearance: a wheel is designed for one specific car, its fitment target. Our guides to wheel offset and what size wheels fit my car cover those.

Your car's page has the final word

The table gives one set of figures per generation. The car's page goes further: the versions checked, the original wheel and tyre sizes front and rear, the special cases (centre lock, Coupé, facelift), and the list of sources for each figure with the date it was read. Read it for your car's exact version. If a figure is missing or your version is not listed, the PCD and the bore can be measured with callipers, with the wheel off and the car raised and supported on axle stands, never on the jack alone, as our PCD guide shows.

Frequently asked questions

What is the BMW bolt pattern?

There is not just one. In our table, the generations launched up to 2015 are 5x120 (M2 F87, M3 E46 and F80, M4 F82, M5 F10, X5 M F85, X6 M F86), and those launched since 2017 are 5x112 (M3 G80, M4 G82, M5 F90, 1 Series F40, 3 Series G20, X5 G05). The thread is M14 x 1.25, except on the E46 M3 (M12 x 1.5).

What is the Audi PCD?

5x112 on all five generations documented (A3 and S3 8V and 8Y, Q5 and SQ5 FY, RS 3 8Y, RS 6 Avant C8), with M14 x 1.5 bolts. The bore is 57.1 mm on the A3 and S3 and 66.5 mm on the Q5, SQ5 and RS 6; it is not published for the RS 3.

What is the Golf 7 or Golf 8 bolt pattern?

5x112, with a 57.1 mm bore and M14 x 1.5 bolts, on the GTI and R models documented.

What is the Mercedes bolt pattern?

We have documented only the W177 A-Class as the Mercedes-AMG A 35 and A 45: 5x112, 66.6 mm, M14 x 1.5 bolts. For other Mercedes models we publish no figure until they are documented.

What is the Porsche PCD?

5x130 on a 71.6 mm hub for the 718 Boxster and Cayman, the 911 (991 and 992), the Cayenne (E2 and E3), the Panamera (971) and the Taycan; 5x112 on a 66.5 mm hub for the Macan (95B).

What is the Tesla bolt pattern?

5x114.3 on the Model 3 and Model Y, 5x120 on the Model S and Model X. The bore is 64.1 mm on all eight generations documented, and the wheel is held by M14 x 1.5 nuts.

Will a 5x112 Audi wheel fit a 5x112 BMW?

The PCD alone cannot tell you. In the table, an Audi A3 has a 57.1 mm bore and M14 x 1.5 bolts, a BMW 3 Series a 66.6 mm bore and M14 x 1.25 bolts: the Audi wheel will not go over the BMW hub, the BMW wheel will not centre on the Audi hub without a ring, and the bolts are different. Width, offset and brake clearance are then checked car by car.

Why do some cells say "not published"?

Because no source was sufficient under our rule: no manufacturer's document, and fewer than two specialist sources that agree, or sources that contradict each other. We would rather leave a cell empty than print a wrong figure; the dimension is then measured on the hub.

Why is Land Rover not in the table?

No Land Rover hub figure has passed our rule yet. The Land Rover pages are online; the figures will be added once enough sources have been read.

Where can I see the sources for a figure?

On the car's page, linked below each table: every figure there cites its source and the date it was read. Our pages for 5x112, 5x120, 5x130 and 5x114.3 group them by PCD (all in French).

Wheels designed for your car's PCD

At Onyx Forged, a French brand of made-to-order forged wheels, the car is the fitment target: each wheel is designed to the PCD, centre bore and fixing of the exact version, and our design office sets those figures out in writing for you to check before anything goes into production, so no hub ring and no spacer is needed. Our wheels are designed to JWL/VIA standards. Onyx Forged does not recommend any size or offset: we compare, and the figures are those of your car's manufacturer. You can build a set with our configurator, browse the catalogue or start from Onyx Forged.
