You can’t talk about compact SUVs without mentioning the renowned Jeep Wrangler. They are robust, versatile, and aesthetically pleasing.
Because the Wrangler has been around for a while now, it features different generations. But do you know what the lug and bolt pattern of these model years is?
In this article, we will discuss the various Jeep Wrangler generations while pointing out the exact lug and bolt pattern for each.
Without further ado, let’s dive into it!
1987 – 1995 Jeep Wrangler Lug And Bolt Pattern
The Jeep Wrangler YJ 1st generation bears a resemblance to its predecessor, Jeep C1-7. Compared to the C1-7, the YJ 1st generation was designed to have a wider appeal and more comfort. Also, it featured improved handling and lesser ground clearance.
As for its engine, the YJ ran on a 2.5-liter AMC 150 straight-4 engine. However, from the 1987 to 1990 model years, Wrangler YJ owners could choose a 4.2-liter AMC 258 straight-6 engine as an alternative. Besides, since 1992, the Jeep had seen some optional changes like introducing anti-lock brakes and the three-speed automatic transmission.
This generation has a lug and bolt pattern of 5×4.5″ (5×114.3mm). It implies that the wheel has 5 lug holes with a diameter of 114.3mm or 4.5 inches.

The Wrangler Sport which ran till 2006 came with the Dana 35 rear axle and 4.0 L. It had a standard AM/FM stereo, along with four speakers and a cassette player. The second generation Wrangler Sahara spanned from 1997-2004. Like the Sport, it featured an AM/FM stereo. However, it was later replaced with a CD player. Seven premium speakers also came standard for this trim.
In 2004, we got the Wrangler Unlimited and Rubicon. The Unlimited came as a four-wheel drive and had an A/T transmission. On the other hand, the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon used an M/T transmission and featured two doors. Both trims gave you 10 color options.
