The Jeep Wrangler shares very similar bolt patterns with almost every other Jeep line, such as Jeep Cherokee WJ, Gladiator, Commander (5 x 5), or Comanche (5 x 4.5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, certain differences can still be spotted: cases in point are Jeep J Series &amp; Full Size Wagoneer (5 x 5.5 and 6 x 5.5) and Jeep Compass (5 x 4.33).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-do-my-jeep-wrangler-lug-hole-nuts-swell\"><strong>Why Do My Jeep Wrangler Lug Hole Nuts Swell?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Excessive moisture is the most common culprit behind a swelling&nbsp; Jeep Wrangler nut. Specifically, moisture and road salt enter the gap between your lug size and the chrome cap, which builds debris over time and eventually leads to corrosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-much-does-it-cost-to-replace-the-nuts-and-studs-on-jeep-wrangler\"><strong>How Much Does It Cost to Replace The Nuts and Studs On Jeep Wrangler?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most mechanics would charge you <strong>$81 to $99<\/strong> to replace wheel lug circles or studs, and the entire process does not take more than 60 minutes. Since the lug nuts\/wheels themselves are cheap, the total cost is mostly labor-related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The wheel bolt pattern for <a href=\"\/best-tires-for-jeep-wrangler\">Jeep Wrangler<\/a> is either 5 x 127 or 5 x 114.3, depending on their model year and design.
