THIS ROW IS NEW — I split it off, and it is the most important correction I made. The prior researcher knew only that "a MY2026 press kit exists" and never opened the 2026 manual. I downloaded it: it is still the L34 chassis (OM26EA 0L34U1, vehicle code L34-D, identical 4,900 x 1,852 mm body), but the factory wheel lineup genuinely changed. The 16 x 7.0J steel wheel and the 215/60R16 tire are DELETED — full-text search returns zero hits for both — along with the S and Platinum trims. The MY2026 range is SV and SR only, on 17-in and 19-in alloys. Consequence for the fitment tool: the valid road-wheel offset range for MY2026 is 50-55 mm, NOT the 45-55 mm that applies to 2019-2025. Serving the 2019-2025 row for a 2026 car would advertise a 16-inch/45 mm factory fitment that Nissan does not list for that year. IMPORTANT COUNTER-GOTCHA — do NOT infer that 16-inch wheels cannot fit a 2026. The T-type temporary spare is still 16 x 4T, so 16-inch rims still clear the brake hardware. The 16-inch road wheel was dropped as a trim/content decision, not because of a bigger brake package. Phrase any 2026 warning as "no longer a factory fitment", never as "will not fit". TORQUE UNCHANGED at 83 lb-ft (113 N·m), stated twice in the 2026 manual, identical to every prior year. The steel temporary spare takes the same figure, so again no lugTorqueSteel split. NOT OEM-CONFIRMED — boltPattern (5x114.3), centerBore (66.1 mm) and threadPitch (M12x1.25) carry over as unverified consensus candidates exactly as in the 2019-2025 row; the 2026 manual states none of them (regex-confirmed zero hits for bolt pattern, PCD, M12, 114.3, 66.1). verified is false solely because boltPattern lacks an OEM source. oemOffset, oemWheel and oemTire ARE OEM-sourced from the 2026 manual table. The 30 mm temporary-spare offset is excluded from the 50-55 road-wheel range and must not be treated as a valid road-wheel offset. As of September 2026 this is the current model year; a future MY2027 manual should be re-checked rather than assumed identical.
2019-2025 6th gen (L34)
| Bolt pattern | 5x114.3 (5x4.5) |
|---|---|
| Center bore | 66.1 mm |
| Thread pitch | M12x1.25 |
| Lug torque | 83 lb-ft |
| OEM wheel sizes | 16 x 7.0J steel, +45 mm (base 2.5 S; 2019-2025 only, deleted for MY2026), 17 x 7.5J aluminum, +50 mm (2.5 SV / SL; also listed for the S in the MY2021 manual), 19 x 8.0J aluminum, +55 mm (2.5 SR / Platinum and 2.0 SR; also listed for the SL from MY2023 on), 16 x 4T T-type temporary spare, +30 mm (called "Steel spare" in most years, "Steel or Alloy spare" in the MY2021 manual) |
| OEM offset | 45-55 mm |
| OEM tire sizes | 215/60R16 (2.5 S) — printed as P215/60R16 in the 2019 and 2020 manuals, 215/55R17 (2.5 SV / SL; also S in MY2021) — P215/55R17 in 2019/2020, 235/40R19 (2.5 SR/Platinum, 2.0 SR; also SL from MY2023) — P235/40R19 in 2019/2020, T135/70D16 (temporary spare), T135/90D16 (temporary spare) |
TORQUE IS THE STRONGEST FIELD HERE. I independently re-verified 83 lb-ft (113 N·m) by downloading and text-extracting the 2020, 2021, 2023 and 2025 owner's manuals myself — four model years the first researcher never opened. Each states it twice (spare-tire install + tire rotation). Together with the prior researcher's independent reads of 2019, 2022 and 2024, every single model year of this generation states the identical figure. Treat 83 lb-ft as settled. NOT OEM-CONFIRMED — boltPattern (5x114.3), centerBore (66.1 mm) and threadPitch (M12x1.25) are aftermarket/industry-consensus values only, carried as candidates. verified is false SOLELY because of boltPattern. I replicated the prior researcher's negative result independently and more broadly: regex-searched the full extracted text of the 2020, 2021, 2023, 2025 AND 2026 manuals for "bolt circle", "bolt pattern", "PCD", "center bore", "hub bore", "M12", "114.3", "66.1" — zero hits in all five. Also checked the 2024 Quick Reference Guide (39 pages, zero hits) and the 2024 Nissan USA press kit. I specifically re-tested the prior researcher's claim that the press kit's "114.3" was a false positive: it is correct — the figure appears as "Total – w/o moonroof, w/moonroof 116.0/114.3", i.e. interior volume in cubic feet, not a bolt circle. parts.nissanusa.com returns 403 to non-browser clients, nissan-techinfo.com is a paywalled JS shell, and Nissan Canada/Mexico/Middle East spec URLs 404. Do not promote these three fields without a Nissan ESM (section WT "Road Wheel") or a Nissan Genuine Accessories wheel listing. OFFSET IS OEM-SOURCED but is a per-wheel-size range, NOT one number: 16-in steel = 45 mm, 17-in alloy = 50 mm, 19-in alloy = 55 mm. The 16x4T temporary spare is 30 mm and is deliberately excluded from the 45-55 range — a fitment tool must never treat 30 mm as a valid road-wheel offset. SINGLE TORQUE FIGURE: the same 83 lb-ft governs the temporary spare (the figure is quoted inside "Installing the spare tire"), so there is no alloy-vs-steel split and lugTorqueSteel is deliberately omitted rather than invented. TRIM MAPPING DRIFTS WITHIN THIS ROW — do not use trim as a hard filter. The prior record implied a fixed trim-to-wheel mapping; the manuals disagree year to year. MY2021 lists 215/55R17 for "2.5 S/SV and SL models" (the base S could carry 17s), and MY2023/2025 list 235/40R19 for "2.5 SL/SR..." (the SL could carry 19s). Match on wheel/tire size, not trim name. SPARE WHEEL MATERIAL: the MY2021 manual says "T-type (Steel or Alloy spare)" — the temporary spare is not always steel, contrary to the prior record's phrasing. P-METRIC LABELING: 2019 and 2020 manuals print P215/60R16 etc.; the P prefix is dropped from MY2021 onward. Labeling change only, same tires. GOTCHA: no 18-inch wheel was ever factory-fitted to the L34 — only 16, 17 and 19. An 18-inch OEM listing for this car is a mis-keyed fitment. GENERATION BOUNDARY: this row now ends at 2025, not 2024, because I read the 2025 manual and confirmed it identical. MY2026 is still the same L34 chassis but has a real wheel-lineup change — see the separate 2026 row. The preceding 5th-gen L33 (2013-2018) was NOT researched; do not copy these figures onto it. AWD and FWD share the same wheel specifications.
Nissan Altima bolt pattern — frequently asked
What is the Nissan Altima bolt pattern?
5x114.3, which is 5x4.5 in inches, on every Altima generation in our database (2019–2026).
Do all Altima model years have the same bolt pattern?
Yes, across 2019–2026: 5x114.3. Years outside 2019–2026 are not in our database and are not covered by this answer.
Is 5x114.3 the same as 5x4.5?
Yes. 5x114.3 is the metric notation and 5x4.5 the inch notation of the same bolt pattern (114.3 mm ÷ 25.4).
Will 5x115 (5x4.53) wheels fit a Altima?
No. The Altima is 5x114.3; 5x115 is 0.7 mm larger and not interchangeable — the two are so close a tape measure cannot tell them apart, which is exactly why they get mixed up.
Will 5x112 (5x4.41) wheels fit a Altima?
No. The Altima is 5x114.3; 5x112 is 2.3 mm smaller and not interchangeable.
Will 5x110 (5x4.33) wheels fit a Altima?
No. The Altima is 5x114.3; 5x110 is 4.3 mm smaller and not interchangeable.
Will 5x120 (5x4.72) wheels fit a Altima?
No. The Altima is 5x114.3; 5x120 is 5.7 mm larger and not interchangeable.
Which other vehicles use the same 5x114.3 bolt pattern as the Altima?
In our database: Ford Mustang, Honda Accord, Ford Explorer, Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, Toyota Camry, Toyota RAV4, Toyota Highlander, Tesla Model 3, Tesla Model Y, Subaru Outback, Subaru Forester. Same pattern is not the same wheel — center bore and stud thread still have to match; see the 5x114.3 pattern page.
What is the lug nut torque for a Nissan Altima?
2026: 83 lb-ft; 2019-2025: 83 lb-ft. Use a torque wrench and the manufacturer figure for your exact year; aftermarket wheels may specify their own.
