2012 INFINITI QX — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bolt pattern for a 2012 INFINITI QX?
The 2012 INFINITI QX uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern (also called lug pattern or PCD). The center bore is 66.1mm and the offset is 40mm.
What other years of INFINITI QX have the same bolt pattern as the 2012?
The INFINITI QX uses the 5x114.3 pattern from 1997 through 2013. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 2012, provided the offset and center bore also match.
Do 2012 INFINITI QXs use lug bolts or lug nuts?
The 2012 QX requires N 12x1.25 hardware. Check your specific trim to ensure you use the correct conical or spherical seating.
Why is matching the 66.1mm center bore important for the 2012 QX?
The 66.1mm center bore ensures the wheel is perfectly centered on the hub. If the wheel is lug-centric instead of hub-centric, you may experience steering wheel vibration at highway speeds.
How do I measure the bolt pattern on my 2012 INFINITI?
The 2012 QX uses a 5x114.3 pattern. For 4, 6, or 8-lug wheels, measure center-to-center across opposite holes. For 5-lug, measure from the center of one hole to the back of the opposite hole.
How tight should I torque the lug nuts on a 2012 INFINITI QX?
Refer to your owner's manual for exact specs, but always tighten the N 12x1.25 hardware in a star or crisscross pattern. Re-torque after the first 50 miles of driving.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy Wheels
- Verify thread pitch before installation; M12x1.25 and M12x1.5 are not interchangeable.
- Confirm bolt pattern carefully. 5x114.3 is often confused with other common 5-lug patterns.
- Torque lugs in a star pattern to 80 ft-lbs (108 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).
- This model has multiple bolt-pattern records across years. Match wheels to exact year/trim before purchase.
