AMG Wheel Bolt Pattern Guide: 5×112 Fitment Explained

The AMG wheel bolt pattern on nearly every current Mercedes-AMG model is 5×112 — five lug holes arranged in a circle with a 112mm diameter between opposite studs. While this pattern covers most AMG vehicles, bolt pattern alone doesn’t guarantee a correct fit: offset, hub bore, and center bore clearance all have to match as well, which is why buyers who confirm bolt pattern only are often surprised when a wheel still doesn’t sit right.

What Is the AMG Wheel Bolt Pattern?

Bolt pattern is expressed as two numbers: the number of lug studs, followed by the diameter in millimeters of the circle those studs form. For AMG models, that’s almost always 5×112 — five studs, 112mm apart. This pattern is shared across most modern Mercedes-Benz vehicles, not just AMG-badged ones, which is why AMG wheels can sometimes physically bolt onto a non-AMG Mercedes even though other specs (offset, load rating) may not be appropriate for that vehicle.

Why Bolt Pattern Alone Isn’t Enough

Matching the AMG wheel bolt pattern is necessary but not sufficient for correct fitment. Three additional specs matter just as much:

• Center bore — the hole in the middle of the wheel must match the hub diameter exactly, or the wheel won’t sit hubcentric
• Offset — even with a matching bolt pattern, wrong offset causes rubbing or altered handling (see our AMG wheel offset guide)
• Load rating — a wheel with the correct bolt pattern but a lower load rating than the vehicle requires is a safety risk, not just a fitment inconvenience

Bolt Pattern by Model

• Compact AMG (A45, CLA45): 5×112
• Mid-size AMG (C63, E63): 5×112
• AMG GT: 5×112
• G63: 5×130 — notably different from the rest of the lineup, since the G-Class shares its platform with older heavy-duty Mercedes vehicles rather than the passenger-car platform

This is the single most common mistake buyers make: assuming every AMG model shares the same bolt pattern. If you’re shopping for a G63, confirm 5×130 specifically — a 5×112 wheel will not fit.

How to Measure Bolt Pattern Yourself

1. Count the number of lug studs on your current wheel
2. For a 5-lug pattern, measure from the center of one stud to the outer edge of the stud directly across from it (not adjacent) — this gives an approximate diameter
3. Round to the nearest standard size (112mm or 130mm for AMG models)
4. Cross-check against your VIN or owner’s manual rather than relying on the measurement alone, since a few millimeters of error is easy to introduce by hand

What Happens If the Bolt Pattern Is Wrong

A wheel with an incorrect AMG wheel bolt pattern simply will not mount — the lug holes won’t align with the studs at all, so this is a binary fitment issue rather than a tolerance one like offset. The risk is buyers assuming “5-lug” is enough information without confirming the exact diameter, especially when cross-shopping G63 wheels against the rest of the AMG lineup.

FAQ

What is the AMG wheel bolt pattern for most models?
5×112 for the majority of the current AMG lineup, including A45, C63, E63, and GT models.

Does the G63 use the same AMG wheel bolt pattern as other AMG models?
No — the G63 uses 5×130, which is different from the 5×112 pattern used across the rest of the AMG range.

Can I fit a non-AMG Mercedes wheel if the bolt pattern matches?
Bolt pattern matching alone isn’t sufficient — offset, center bore, and load rating must also match your specific model for a correct and safe fit.
