"Bolt Pattern" is a mechanical design term referring to a circular arrangement of threaded fasteners used to hold something in place. Bolt patterns are most often used to attach round parts that require axial alignment. A bolt pattern is generally specified by the diameter of the bolt circle and the number of bolts evenly distributed around it. This circle passes through the CENTER of the bolts. The most common use of the term is in affixing automotive wheels to vehicles. The bolt pattern of the vehicle's hub and the wheel must match.
