You will need to know your Jeep Patriot bolt pattern if you want to rotate your Jeep Patriot tires, change them due to wear and tear, or just because you want to upgrade your Jeep Patriot tires or wheels.
The number of bolts and spacing between them on your Jeep Patriot wheels are indicated by the bolt pattern, some times referred to as the lug pattern. The number of bolts and the diameter of the circle made by those bolts make up the Jeep Patriot bolt pattern.
Jeep Patriot Bolt Pattern
The Jeep Patriot MK bolt patterns are 5 x 4.5 inches, meaning five lug nuts with 4.5 inches of spacing between the centers of the five lug nuts.
The table below shows Jeep Patriot bolt patterns, including their OE wheel size, wheel offset, thread size, hub center bore, and the torque to tighten the lug nuts.

How to measure a bolt pattern
To measure a bolt pattern, you need measuring tape. As we mentioned earlier, the Jeep Patriot has five lugs.
For 5-lug wheels, start measuring from the outside edge of the lug hole to the center of the opposite bolt. This measurement gives the diameter of the circle these bolts form.
The diameter and number of bolts give you the bolt pattern of Jeep Patriot.
How to torque Jeep Patriot lug nuts?
When you remount the wheel or rim, it’s important to follow the wheel tightening torque specifications mentioned in the owner’s manual. The Jeep Patriot recommends that you bolt these nuts in the way that’s shown below. You have to follow a star or crisscross bolt-tightening pattern.
Please note that the Jeep Patriot MK needs to have the bolts tightened to 100 ft/lbs.
Check your wheel lug nuts after 50 km and make sure that they are tightened; if not, retighten. If the lug nuts keep falling out, you should replace your Patriot wheels.
