Bolt pattern
5x139.7 bolt pattern — what trucks fit it
5 studs on a 139.7 mm circle, also written 5x5.5". 1 pickup model on record uses it — here they are, grouped by hub bore so you can see what genuinely interchanges.
Trucks running 5x139.7
Grouped by hub bore. Trucks inside the same group share both the pattern and the centre bore, which is the combination that makes a factory wheel swap straight over. Across groups you need centring rings, and you still have to check offset and brake clearance.

A wheel bolting on is not the same as a wheel fitting. Before you buy a used set, confirm four things: the bore clears the hub, the offset keeps the tire out of the fender and the suspension, the spokes clear the brake calipers, and the load rating covers your axle weight.
Other 5-lug patterns — don't mix them up
Same stud count, different circle. These are close enough that a wheel can look right on the shelf and start on two studs before it binds — which is exactly how studs get damaged.
5x139.7 — frequently asked
What trucks have a 5x139.7 bolt pattern?
On record, 1 pickup model uses the 5x139.7 pattern: Ram 1500 (2002–2018). Sharing a pattern means a wheel will bolt onto the studs — it does not guarantee the wheel clears the brakes or sits at the right offset.
What does 5x139.7 mean?
It describes the circle the wheel studs sit on. The 5 is the number of studs; the 139.7 is the diameter of that circle in millimetres, which is 5.5 inches, so the same pattern is often advertised as 5x5.5". Both numbers have to match your hub exactly.
Is 5x139.7 the same as 5x5.5"?
Yes. 5x5.5" is the same pattern written in inches instead of millimetres — they describe an identical hub, and a wheel listed either way will fit. Manufacturers pick whichever unit suits their market, which is why you see both on the same shelf.
Will a 5x139.7 wheel fit any truck with that pattern?
No — the pattern is only the first of four checks. The hub bore has to be at least as large as the truck's hub (and ideally exactly equal, or fitted with centring rings). The offset has to keep the tire clear of the fender and the suspension. The brake calipers have to clear the spokes. And the wheel's load rating has to cover your axle weight, which matters far more on a truck that tows than on a car.
Can I convert my truck to a 5x139.7 pattern?
Only with wheel adapters, and they come with trade-offs: they push the wheel outward by their own thickness, add a second set of fasteners you have to torque and re-inspect, and move the wheel load further out on the hub bearing. For a truck that tows or hauls, buying wheels in the correct pattern is always the better answer.
How do I check my truck really has a 5x139.7 pattern?
With an odd number of studs no two sit opposite each other. Measure from the centre of one stud to the outside edge of the stud two positions round the hub — that shortcut gives the bolt circle directly.
