Jeep Compass Bolt Pattern, Wheel & Tire Sizes
TL;DR
Bolt pattern changed between generations: 5x114.3 on the 2007-2016 Compass versus 5x110 on most 2017-present Compass listings. Always verify centre bore, thread size, and tire size against your own car's placard or markings, since databases disagree on some details.
Why bolt pattern matters here
The Jeep Compass has been built across two very different generations on different platforms, and wheel fitment data is not identical between them. Do not assume a wheel that fits one Compass year will fit another without checking the specific model year.
What the research found
Multiple wheel-fitment databases agree that the first-generation Compass (2007-2016, sold through model year 2017 in some markets) uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 67.1 mm centre bore. For the second-generation Compass (2017-present), most current listings show 5x110, but at least one database places the changeover at the 2018 model year rather than 2017, and there is disagreement on the exact model year the switch happened. Lug stud thread size is also inconsistently reported (some sources say M12 x 1.5, others M12 x 1.25) - this is exactly the kind of detail that must be confirmed on your own vehicle rather than assumed from a table.
Where to get the exact numbers for your car
Because trims, markets (US, Latin America, Europe, India, Brazil), and even mid-cycle running changes can shift these figures, the only fully reliable source is your own vehicle. Check:
- The driver's door jamb placard (tire size, load rating, and often wheel size)
- The owner's manual wheel and tire chapter
- The sidewall markings on your current tires (size, load index, speed rating)
- The stamped markings on the back of your wheel (bolt pattern and offset, on some wheel designs)
Generation comparison table
| Generation / years | Bolt pattern | Centre bore | Stud thread | Stock wheel sizes | Common tire sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Compass I (MK), 2007-2016 | 5x114.3 | 67.1 mm | Reported as M12 x 1.5 by most sources (a minority list M12 x 1.25 - verify on your car) | 16-19 in depending on trim | Varies by trim - check door placard |
| Compass II (MP), 2017-present | 5x110 in most current listings (some databases place the changeover at MY2018, not MY2017 - sources disagree) | Approx. 65.1 mm reported for MY2021 (not confirmed across all model years) | M12 x 1.25 reported for MY2021 | 17-19 in depending on trim | Varies by trim - check door placard |
Bottom line
Treat the figures above as a starting point, not a final answer. Given how much these figures vary by trim, market, and production year within a single generation, cross-check with your driver's door placard before ordering wheels or tires.
Summary
| Generation I bolt pattern (2007-2016) | 5x114.3 |
|---|---|
| Generation I centre bore | 67.1 mm |
| Generation II bolt pattern (2017-present) | 5x110 (most sources; changeover year disputed) |
| Generation II centre bore (MY2021 reported) | ~65.1 mm |
| Stud thread | Varies by source - M12 x 1.5 or M12 x 1.25, verify locally |
| Stock wheel range | 16-19 in depending on trim and generation |
| Authoritative source for your car | Driver's door placard and owner's manual |

Frequently asked questions
What is the bolt pattern on a Jeep Compass?
It depends on generation. The 2007-2016 first-generation Compass uses 5x114.3. The 2017-present second-generation Compass is listed as 5x110 in most current fitment databases, though the exact model year the change took effect is disputed between sources. Confirm on your own vehicle before buying wheels.
Is the centre bore the same across all Jeep Compass model years?
No. The first-generation Compass (2007-2016) has a 67.1 mm centre bore according to available data. For the second-generation Compass, only a 2021 figure of approximately 65.1 mm was found, and it has not been cross-verified across every model year of that generation, so treat it as indicative rather than universal.
What lug nut thread size does the Jeep Compass use?
Sources disagree. For the first generation (2007-2016), most sources cite M12 x 1.5, though at least one source lists M12 x 1.25. For the second generation, one source reports M12 x 1.25 for the 2021 model year. Check your existing lug nuts or the owner's manual before ordering replacements.
Where can I find the exact wheel and tire size for my specific Compass?
The most reliable source is your own car: the tire and loading information placard on the driver's door jamb, the owner's manual, and the sidewall markings on your current tires. These reflect your exact trim and market build, which general databases do not always capture correctly.
