Ok so Im a girl..lol..I know how to change a tire.. I just dont know the bolt pattern to my 2001 Jeep Cherokee Larado limited edition?What is the actual bolt pattern...I know how to change a tire..lol thanks guys?I don't want to %26quot;snow%26quot; you with a lot of information but the bolt center a metric distance on your Jeep. Flip any wheel street side down on your vehicle. The bolt center is measured from the dead center of one lug hole - skip a hole and measure to the far side of the second or hole after the one you skipped. In your case the bolt center is 5 (number of lugs) X 127 mm. One millimeter = .0393700. If you want to know what the bolt center is in inches, multiply 127mm X .0383700.



You could have found this information by going to: tirerack.com and key-in wheels for your Jeep. Click on a wheel diameter exactly like yours. The bolt center, wheel off-set and wheel width will be shown.What is the actual bolt pattern...I know how to change a tire..lol thanks guys?Bolt pattern... hmmmm... when tightening lug nuts you just gradually snug them up going from opposite nuts all the way around to avoid tightening down one side first.

Lower the vehicle just enough where roughly half of the weight is on the tire and tighten according to the recommended torque.

If it's a 4-bolt pattern, tighten in a criss cross pattern like you're drawing a fish.

If it's a 5-bolt pattern, tighten like you are drawing a 5 pointed star.

6-bolt pattern, tighten like you are drawing a 6 pointed star.
