Expert Buying Guide for 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA
For the 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA, the bolt pattern is 5x112 with a center bore of 66.5mm. When selecting aftermarket wheels, ensure they have a center bore of at least 66.5mm; if larger, use hub-centric rings to prevent vibrations and ensure proper load distribution. The offset is critical: the factory offset is 49mm. Deviating more than ±5mm may cause rubbing or clearance issues with suspension and brakes. Always verify lug nut compatibility: the CLA uses B 14x1.50 thread pitch with a ball seat. Using incorrect lug nuts (e.g., cone seat) can lead to wheel loosening. Re-torque lug nuts after 50-100 miles of driving to maintain safety.

Quick Tips & Safety Warnings
- ✅ Re-torque lug nuts to 110 Nm (81 lb-ft) after 50-100 miles of initial installation.
- ✅ Avoid using wheels with a center bore smaller than 66.5mm; they will not fit over the hub.
- ✅ When using aftermarket wheels, always install hub-centric rings to match the 66.5mm bore exactly.
- ⚠️ Confirm bolt pattern carefully. 5x112 is often confused with other common 5-lug patterns.
- ⚠️ Torque lugs in a star pattern to 100 ft-lbs (135 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).

The 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA uses a 5x112 bolt pattern (also called lug pattern or PCD). The center bore is 66.5mm and the offset is 49mm.
What other years of Mercedes-Benz CLA have the same bolt pattern as the 2016?
The Mercedes-Benz CLA uses the 5x112 pattern from 2016 through 2024. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 2016, provided the offset and center bore also match.
Will wheels from another Mercedes-Benz fit my 2016 CLA?
Only if they share the exact same 5x112 bolt pattern, a compatible offset, and a center bore equal to or larger than 66.5mm.
What is the center bore of a 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA?
The factory center bore (hub bore) for the 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA is 66.5mm. If your aftermarket wheels have a larger hub bore, you will need hub-centric rings to prevent vibration.
Why is matching the 66.5mm center bore important for the 2016 CLA?
The 66.5mm 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.
Can I put aftermarket wheels on my 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA?
Absolutely. Just ensure the aftermarket wheels have a 5x112 bolt pattern, an offset near 49mm, and a center bore of at least 66.5mm (using hub rings if larger).
