1. Check your owner's manual: This is the most reliable source.
2. Look at your existing wheel: The bolt pattern is usually stamped on the back of the wheel.
3. Check the sticker on your driver's side doorjamb: This sticker often lists tire size and other vehicle specifications, sometimes including bolt pattern.
Don't rely on online information alone, as variations exist across trims and options. Always verify with your vehicle's documentation.
