- Bolt pattern refers to the number of holes on a wheel, as well as how far apart the holes are. For a particular wheel to fit on a car, the bolt pattern of the wheel must match the number and spacing of lug studs on the vehicle's hub.
- To determine a wheel's bolt pattern, count the number of lug holes in the center of the wheel. Cars use four or five lug bolts. That gives the first number of the bolt pattern. For a five-lug wheel, the second measurement for determining a bolt pattern is to measure the distance from one hole to the space directly across from it and between the two opposing lug holes.
- The wheel bolt pattern for the 2001 Stratus is 5x100, so there are five lug holes. The distance from one lug hole to the space directly between the opposite lug holes is 100 mm. Only wheels with a 5x100 lug pattern fit on a Stratus.
