The 6x114.3 bolt pattern means six lug holes spaced evenly around a circle 114.3 millimeters in diameter. That figure equals 4.5 inches exactly, so 6x114.3 and 6x4.5 are the same pattern, one in metric and one in inches. It is best known as the modern Nissan truck and SUV pattern, used on the Frontier, Xterra, and Pathfinder. What it is not is 5x114.3, 6x5.5, or 6x135, and confusing those is where fitment goes wrong.
I am Dennis Feldman, and precise fitment is my job. The 6x114.3 is a pattern I verify carefully, because it shares its 114.3-millimeter circle with a very common five-lug pattern and sits near several other six-lug truck patterns. Below is the exact data, the vehicles that run it, and a clear answer on what actually interchanges.
A bolt pattern, also called the lug pattern or pitch circle diameter (PCD), is defined by two numbers: the count of lug holes and the diameter of the circle their centers sit on. So 6x114.3 is six lugs on a 114.3-millimeter circle.
Converted to imperial, 6x114.3 equals 6x4.5 inches. One hundred fourteen point three millimeters divided by 25.4 comes to exactly 4.5 inches, so yes, 4.5 and 114.3 are the same measurement in two unit systems. When a catalog lists a wheel as 6x4.5, that is your 6x114.3 pattern. Same holes, same circle, same fit. For the full framework, see our guide to wheel bolt patterns, and if you want to confirm yours by hand, here is how to measure a lug bolt pattern.
This is a midsize truck and SUV pattern, dominated by Nissan since the 2005 model year, when the brand switched its 6-lug trucks from the older 6x139.7 pattern. Common fitments include:
The Nissan group is the heart of it, which is why the aftermarket for this pattern is squarely aimed at midsize trucks and SUVs. Always confirm your specific year and model before ordering, since Nissan used the older 6x139.7 pattern on 6-lug trucks before 2005.
The 6x114.3 sits in a confusing neighborhood, and only an exact match is a safe fit. The pitch circle and the lug count both have to match. Here is how it compares against the patterns people mix it up with.

No. This is the trap. They share the same 114.3-millimeter pitch circle, but one has six lugs and the other has five. Lug count has to match, so a 6x114.3 wheel will never fit a 5x114.3 hub or the reverse. The 5x114.3, also written 5x4.5, is one of the most common car patterns in the world, found on everything from the Ford Mustang to the Toyota Camry, which we cover in what cars are 5x114.3 bolt pattern. Same circle, different lug count, not interchangeable.
No. A modern Ford F-150 (2004 and up) uses the 6x135 pattern, not 6x5.5. The 6x5.5, also written 6x139.7, is 4.7 millimeters larger than 6x135 and belongs to Chevrolet, GMC, Toyota, and the Nissan Titan. So a 6x5.5 wheel will not bolt to an F-150. We break down the Ford pattern in what cars have a 6x135 bolt pattern, and the 6x5.5 truck pattern in our 6x5.5 bolt pattern guide.
No. A 6x135 rides on a 135-millimeter circle and a 6x5.5 (6x139.7) rides on a 139.7-millimeter circle, a difference of 4.7 millimeters. They are two separate patterns. The 6x135 is the Ford full-size truck pattern (F-150, Expedition, Navigator), while the 6x5.5 is the Chevrolet, Toyota, and older Nissan truck pattern. They do not interchange.
Bolt pattern is only half of a correct fit. The center bore, the hole in the middle of the wheel that sits over the hub, has to match too. For the Nissan group that dominates this pattern, the center bore is 66.1 millimeters. The Dodge Dakota and Durango use a larger 71.4-millimeter bore, so always confirm your exact figure. Most aftermarket wheels have a larger bore and use hub-centric rings to bring it down to your hub, which is standard practice, not a compromise. Our breakdown of hub-centric vs lug-centric wheels explains why this matters, and our guide to offset, backspacing, and bolt patterns covers the rest of a proper fit.
Because this pattern is built around midsize trucks and SUVs, the selection leans rugged. Here are five solid picks from value to premium.
Fuel Assault D546 (around 226 dollars). An aggressive off-road wheel and a favorite on the Frontier and Xterra. Strong value with a look built for the trail.
Moto Metal MO802 (around 239 dollars). A bold milled design that fills a lifted or leveled truck well. Great value in a 20-inch.
Black Rhino Abrams (around 295 dollars). Overland styling with real off-road credentials. A clean fit for a Pathfinder or Xterra headed off the pavement.
KMC Attack (around 445 dollars). A premium, purpose-built off-road wheel with a machined face. A strong choice for a serious build.
XD Series Bomber XD870 (around 478 dollars). A rugged, no-nonsense wheel that looks right under a lifted rig. Premium construction for the trail.

The 6x114.3 bolt pattern is straightforward once you know its neighbors: six lugs on a 114.3-millimeter circle, identical to 6x4.5 inches, built around the modern Nissan truck and SUV lineup. The one trap to avoid is the five-lug 5x114.3, which shares the same circle but not the lug count, and the various six-lug truck patterns that sit close by. Match your pattern to the millimeter, confirm the lug count and center bore, add hub-centric rings if needed, and you are set. If you want our fitment team to verify your exact specs, we are glad to help.
The 6x4.5 (6x114.3) pattern is used on the Nissan Frontier, Xterra, and Pathfinder, plus the Murano, Infiniti QX60, Suzuki Equator, Mitsubishi Montero Sport, Dodge Dakota and Durango, the Dodge Viper, and several Kia SUVs.
Yes. 114.3 millimeters equals 4.5 inches exactly, so 6x114.3 and 6x4.5 describe the identical six-lug pattern. One is the metric name and the other is the imperial name.
Yes. 4.5 inches is exactly 114.3 millimeters. They are the same pitch circle diameter expressed in two different unit systems.
The 114.3-millimeter circle appears in two forms. The 5-lug version (5x114.3) is extremely common on cars like the Mustang, Camry, and Civic, while the 6-lug version (6x114.3) is used on Nissan trucks and SUVs. They are not interchangeable.
A 4.5-inch pattern is 114.3 millimeters. In 5-lug form (5x4.5) it is on many cars, including the Mustang, Camry, and Civic. In 6-lug form (6x4.5) it is on the Nissan Frontier, Xterra, and Pathfinder. Match the lug count to your vehicle.
No. A modern Ford F-150 uses the 6x135 pattern, not 6x5.5 (6x139.7). The 6x5.5 is 4.7 millimeters larger and belongs to Chevrolet, GMC, Toyota, and the Nissan Titan, so it will not bolt to an F-150.
Primarily the Nissan Frontier, Xterra, and Pathfinder, along with the Murano, Infiniti QX60, Suzuki Equator, Dodge Dakota and Durango, Dodge Viper, and Kia Borrego and Mohave.
No. 6x135 is 135 millimeters and 6x5.5 is 139.7 millimeters, a difference of 4.7 millimeters. The 6x135 is the Ford full-size truck pattern, while the 6x5.5 is used by Chevrolet, Toyota, and older Nissan trucks.
