Honda Civic Bolt Pattern, Wheel & Tire Sizes
TL;DR
4x100/56.1mm on 2001-2005 Civics, 5x114.3/64.1mm on 2006-present Civics; lug thread is M12x1.5 on both eras.
Honda Civic bolt pattern and wheel specs by generation
The Honda Civic sedan has used two different bolt patterns across its history in the US market. The 7th generation (2001-2005) used a 4-lug 4x100 mm pattern, while Honda moved to a 5-lug 5x114.3 mm pattern starting with the 8th generation in 2006, a configuration that has carried through to the current 11th generation. Center bore grew from 56.1 mm to 64.1 mm at the same time as that change.
Where to verify your exact car
Bolt pattern, offset, and load rating can vary by trim, region, and factory options within the same generation. Before buying wheels, confirm the figures for your specific car using one of these authoritative sources (in order of convenience): the tire and wheel information placard on the driver-side door jamb, the markings stamped into your current wheel (often near the center bore), or the owner manual (in the wheels and tires section). Tire size and inflation pressure are also printed on that same door placard.
Sedan generations covered
The table below lists only the figures that were verified against wheel-fitment sources for this rewrite. Where a figure could not be corroborated for a specific trim, it has been left out rather than guessed.
| Generation / years | Bolt pattern | Centre bore | Stud thread | Stock wheel sizes | Common tire sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 7th gen (2001-2005) | 4x100 mm | 56.1 mm | M12x1.5 | 14-16 in (5.5J-6.5J, ET45) | 185/70R14, 185/65R15, 195/60R15, 205/50R16 |
| 8th gen (2006-2011) | 5x114.3 mm | 64.1 mm | M12x1.5 | 15 in steel (DX/LX), 16 in alloy (EX/EX-L), 17 in alloy (Si) | 195/65R15, 205/55R16, 215/45R17 (varies by trim) |
| 9th gen (2012-2015) | 5x114.3 mm | 64.1 mm | M12x1.5 | 15-17 in depending on trim | 195/65R15, 205/55R16, 215/50R17 |
| 10th gen (2016-2021) | 5x114.3 mm | 64.1 mm | M12x1.5 | 16 in (LX), 17 in (EX/EX-L/Touring), 18 in (Si/Sport) | 215/55R16, 215/50R17, 235/40R18 |
| 11th gen (2022-present) | 5x114.3 mm | 64.1 mm | M12x1.5 | 16 in (LX), 17 in (EX), 18 in (Sport/Touring/Si) | 215/55R16, 215/50R17, 235/40R18 |
A note on the Civic Type R
The Civic Type R (a hatchback-only model, not sold as a sedan) uses a different, wider 5x120 mm bolt pattern with M14x1.5 studs, so Type R wheels do not interchange with standard Civic sedan wheels even within the same generation. If you are shopping for wheels for a Type R specifically, treat it as a separate spec from the sedan figures above.
Why exact figures matter
Fitting the wrong bolt pattern or center bore can prevent a wheel from mounting safely, and mixing pattern generations (for example, trying to reuse 4x100 wheels on a 2006-or-later Civic) is not possible without adapters that are not recommended for daily use. Always cross-check offset (ET) and load rating too, since these can vary by trim even when the bolt pattern is identical.
Summary
| 7th gen (2001-2005) bolt pattern | 4x100 mm, 56.1 mm bore, M12x1.5 |
|---|---|
| 8th gen (2006-2011) bolt pattern | 5x114.3 mm, 64.1 mm bore, M12x1.5 |
| 9th gen (2012-2015) bolt pattern | 5x114.3 mm, 64.1 mm bore, M12x1.5 |
| 10th gen (2016-2021) bolt pattern | 5x114.3 mm, 64.1 mm bore, M12x1.5 |
| 11th gen (2022-present) bolt pattern | 5x114.3 mm, 64.1 mm bore, M12x1.5 |
| Civic Type R (hatchback only) | 5x120 mm, 64.1 mm bore, M14x1.5 (not interchangeable with sedan) |
| Where to verify your own car | Driver-door tire/wheel placard, wheel center-bore markings, or owner manual |

Frequently asked questions
Did the Honda Civic bolt pattern ever change?
Yes, once. The 2001-2005 (7th generation) Civic sedan uses a 4x100 mm bolt pattern with a 56.1 mm center bore. Starting with the 2006 (8th generation) Civic, Honda switched to 5x114.3 mm with a 64.1 mm center bore, and every Civic sedan generation since, including the current 11th generation, has kept 5x114.3 mm.
What is the stud thread size on a Honda Civic?
Civic sedans from 2001 through the current 11th generation use M12x1.5 wheel studs and lug nuts. The Civic Type R hatchback is the exception, using larger M14x1.5 studs, so its lug nuts and wheels are not interchangeable with a standard Civic sedan.
Where can I find the exact wheel specs for my Civic?
The most reliable source is your own car: check the tire and wheel placard on the driver-side door jamb (it also lists tire size and cold inflation pressure), read the markings stamped on your current wheel near the center bore, or check the wheels and tires section of your owner manual. These reflect the exact trim and factory options your car left the factory with.
Can I put 8th-generation Civic wheels on a 7th-generation Civic?
No, not without adapters. The 7th generation (2001-2005) uses a 4x100 mm bolt pattern while the 8th generation (2006-2011) and all later generations use 5x114.3 mm; the bolt hole count and spacing are different, so wheels will not bolt on directly between these two eras.
