What Is the Bolt Pattern on a Jeep Compass?
It depends on the generation. The original MK Compass (2007 to 2017, including its 2011 facelift) uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 67.1mm center bore. The MP Compass, on sale since 2017 and still the current U.S. model through its 2021 facelift, switched to 5x110 with a 65.1mm center bore. These are two different bolt patterns, so it's worth confirming which generation you have before ordering a wheel.
What Size Wheels Does the Jeep Compass Have?
It depends on the trim and generation. Base Sport and Latitude trims typically ride on 16" or 17" wheels, while Limited and Trailhawk trims step up to 17" or 18" depending on the model year. Wheel sizing has stayed fairly modest across the Compass's history compared to some other compact SUVs, since Jeep has generally favored a taller sidewall over a larger wheel diameter on this model.
About the Jeep Compass
The Jeep Compass is Jeep's compact crossover SUV, built for buyers who want Jeep styling and available four wheel drive in a more affordable, easier to park package than a Grand Cherokee. It sits above the smaller space the Renegade once occupied and below the Cherokee in Jeep's lineup, aimed at drivers who want everyday practicality with a bit of Jeep character.
The Compass nameplate launched for 2007 on the MK platform, sharing its underpinnings with the Dodge Caliber and Jeep Patriot. That original MK generation received a significant facelift for 2011, which updated the interior and styling without changing the core mechanical layout. The Compass was fully redesigned for 2017 on the newer MP platform, moving to a more car-like unibody structure shared with the Renegade. A mid-cycle refresh followed for 2021, and that facelifted MP generation is the current U.S. model.
Wheel sizing has changed gradually across these generations. The original MK Compass rode on 16" and 17" wheels depending on trim and engine, with an occasional 18" option on upper trims. The MP generation kept a similar range, with Trailhawk and Limited trims commonly running 17" or 18" wheels. Throughout its history, the Compass has favored practicality over larger wheel diameters, which keeps tire costs reasonable and ride quality comfortable.
Shoppers cross-shopping the Compass typically also look at the Honda HR-V and the Chevrolet Trailblazer, both similarly sized compact crossovers aimed at buyers who want a smaller footprint without giving up cargo room. Compared to those rivals, the Compass tends to appeal to drivers who want available four wheel drive and a bit more off-road capability in the Trailhawk trim, something neither competitor offers in the same way.
Vehicle Generations & Wheel Changes
The Compass has gone through two full generations, each with its own mid-cycle facelift, and the wheel fitment changed at one key point: the bolt pattern switch from 5x114.3 to 5x110 that came with the move to the MP platform in 2017.

The single biggest thing to know: MK and MK Facelift Compass models use a 5x114.3 bolt pattern with a 67.1mm center bore, while MP and MP Facelift models switched to 5x110 with a 65.1mm center bore. The two generations use different bolt patterns and center bores, so their factory wheels are not direct-fit replacements for one another.

Why Choose Genuine OEM Wheels?
Factory (OEM) wheels are engineered specifically for your Compass's suspension geometry, brake clearance, and load ratings. They're designed to match the Compass's factory styling while maintaining the specifications Jeep intended for the vehicle.
-
Correct fit. Genuine wheels match your Compass's factory specifications, including bolt pattern, offset, and hub bore, without needing adapters or spacers.
-
Resale and appearance. A stock style wheel keeps the SUV looking factory correct, which matters if you plan to sell later. Many buyers appreciate a vehicle that still has its original factory wheels.
-
Correct load rating. OEM wheels are rated for your Compass's exact weight and available four wheel drive setup, matching the specifications Jeep engineered for the vehicle.
-
TPMS compatibility. Factory wheels are drilled and shaped to work with your original tire pressure sensors without modification.
OEM vs. Replica & Aftermarket Wheels
Some drivers choose replica wheels for their similar appearance or price. If your goal is to replace a damaged factory wheel, a genuine OEM wheel offers the best path to the correct fit, finish, and overall appearance, without the extra research replica shopping usually requires. We offer genuine OEM at replica price levels, often less. Here's how the two options typically compare:
| OEM Wheels |
Aftermarket / Replica Wheels |
| Factory fit: bolt pattern, offset, and center bore all match from the factory |
Fit varies by brand and model, worth checking against your specific trim |
| No spacers or hub rings needed |
May require spacers or hub-centric rings to fit correctly |
| TPMS-ready out of the box |
May need sensor relocation, new sensors, or recalibration |
| Matches the original factory finish and styling |
Wide range of finishes, styles, and price points |
| Fitment is already verified for your trim |
Fitment is worth verifying per wheel before buying |
| Weight matches factory engineered specs |
Weight varies, can be lighter or heavier depending on construction |
| Resale value stays consistent with a factory correct look |
Resale value depends on buyer taste and wheel condition |
| Finish durability tested to OEM standards |
Finish durability varies by manufacturer and coating quality |
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I put MP wheels on an MK Compass?
No. The two generations use different bolt patterns (5x110 vs. 5x114.3) and different center bores (65.1mm vs. 67.1mm), so their factory wheels are not direct-fit replacements for one another.
Do all Compass trims use the same size wheel?
No. Base Sport and Latitude trims typically run smaller 16" or 17" wheels, while Limited and Trailhawk trims step up to 17" or 18" depending on the model year.
Is a genuine OEM wheel really worth it over a replica?
For most owners, yes. A genuine OEM wheel takes the guesswork out of fitment, TPMS compatibility, and load rating, and it keeps the SUV looking factory correct, something that tends to matter again at resale time, when buyers are comparing your Compass against others on the lot.
Final Thoughts
The Jeep Compass has used two distinct bolt patterns across its life: 5x114.3 on the original MK generation and 5x110 on the current MP generation, with the switch happening at the 2017 redesign. Wheel diameter and offset vary somewhat by trim and model year, so it's worth checking your specific configuration before ordering.
Whether you're replacing a curbed rim, buying take-off wheels, or shopping for a full winter set, a genuine OEM wheel is a straightforward way to keep that fitment factory correct and your Compass looking the way it did on the day it left the dealership. If you're unsure which factory wheel originally came on your Jeep Compass, Finish Line Wheels can help you identify the correct replacement.
