Are all Toyota center caps the same size?

No. Toyota center caps are not all the same size; their diameter varies by wheel design, model, and year. This article explains why sizes differ and how to find the right cap for your Toyota wheels.


Why center-cap sizes vary


Several factors determine the correct cap size. The same car model can use different wheel designs over its production run, and each design is engineered to fit a specific center hole and mounting method. The cap must align with both the wheel opening and the retention system used by the cap and wheel.



  • Wheel model and generation

  • Wheel diameter and design (different wheels for different trims or years)

  • Hub bore and center-hole fitment

  • Center-cap mounting type (snap-in, press-fit, or thread-in)

  • OEM vs aftermarket center caps


In practice, there is no single universal size for Toyota center caps. If you replace a cap, you should verify the exact wheel model and the correct cap part number to ensure a proper fit.


How to identify the correct size for your Toyota center cap


Follow these steps to determine the right center-cap size for your wheels.



  1. Identify your wheel model and year by checking the wheel itself for part numbers or consulting your vehicle’s documentation.

  2. Measure the center-cap diameter or the wheel’s center opening with a ruler or caliper to determine the cap size you need.

  3. Check the retention method of your cap (how it attaches) to ensure compatibility with your wheel.

  4. Consult official sources (Toyota dealer, Toyota Genuine Accessories catalogs, or the wheel manufacturer) for the exact part number and size.

  5. If you’re considering aftermarket caps, verify that the diameter and mounting style match your wheel’s specifications to avoid fitment issues.


Concluding: By confirming the wheel model, measuring the cap/opening, and referencing official resources, you can identify the correct center cap size. When in doubt, seek help from a dealer or a reputable wheel shop.


Common sizes and practical notes


There is no universal size across Toyota’s lineup. Center-cap diameters vary across passenger cars, SUVs, and trucks, as well as between generations and wheel families. For reliable results, use OEM caps specifically labeled for your wheel model or purchase aftermarket caps that explicitly state compatibility with your wheel’s make and model.


Additional notes: the exact part number for your wheel’s center cap is often listed in the wheel’s specifications, on a label inside the vehicle, or in a dealer catalog. If you replace a cap, choosing the exact match helps ensure proper fitment and secure attachment.


Summary


Toyota center caps are not the same size across all models and wheels. Sizes differ by wheel design, model year, and trim, so it’s essential to identify your specific wheel and verify the correct cap part number or diameter before purchasing. When in doubt, consult Toyota’s official resources or a qualified wheel specialist to ensure a proper fit.

Are all Toyota rims interchangeable?


Most Toyota models share a standard bolt pattern, making it easier to find compatible rims, but the specifics count.



What size are Toyota Corolla wheel covers?


The Toyota Corolla hubcap size depends on the model year and trim, but common sizes are 15-inch and 16-inch. To find the correct size, check the number at the end of the tire's sidewall (e.g., "R15" indicates a 15-inch wheel). You can also refer to your vehicle's owner's manual. 
How to determine your Corolla's hubcap size

  • Check the tire sidewall: Look for a series of numbers on the side of your tire. The final number before the "R" (e.g., R15) indicates the wheel diameter in inches. 
  • Consult the owner's manual: Your vehicle's manual will have the most accurate information about your specific model's wheel size. 
  • Measure the wheel: If you can't find the information elsewhere, you can measure the diameter of the steel wheel itself.
  • Look for model-specific listings: Many replacement hubcaps are sold based on specific model years, such as a listing for a "16-inch hubcap for 2020-2025 Toyota Corolla". 



Do all center caps fit the same?


No, center caps are not universal because they come in many different sizes and styles and are often specific to a particular wheel model or manufacturer. While some aftermarket caps are marketed as "universal," they are designed to fit a range of common sizes, and you must verify the dimensions of your wheel's center bore before buying to ensure a correct fit. 
Why center caps aren't universal

  • Varying sizes: There is no standard size for wheel center caps, and even a slight difference in diameter or depth can prevent a cap from fitting correctly. 
  • Different fitment types: Caps can have different attachment mechanisms, such as snap-in or clip-in, which must match the wheel's design. 
  • Manufacturer and model specific: Many caps, especially for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and high-end aftermarket wheels, are made to fit only specific models. 

How to find the right center cap
  • Measure precisely: Accurately measure the diameter and depth of the center bore on your wheel. 
  • Check for identifying marks: Look for a manufacturer's name or a product code on the back of the old center cap to help you search for a replacement. 
  • Use the wheel's information: If you know the wheel's brand and model, you can often find the correct center cap size on the manufacturer's website. 
  • Shop based on your measurements: Use your measurements to find caps that match the size and fit type required for your wheel. 



How do I know what size center caps I need?


To find the correct center cap size, measure the wheel's center hole, preferably with calipers for accuracy, to get the inner diameter (I.D.) which is the most critical measurement. If your wheels are a factory part, you can search for a replacement using your car's make and model or the part number found on the old cap. For aftermarket wheels, measure the inner diameter, outer diameter (O.D.), and depth of the cap to find an exact replacement, or consult the manufacturer's website for their part number or specifications.

For a proper fit

  • Measure the wheel's center bore: 
    • Use calipers for the most accurate measurement of the inner diameter (I.D.) of the wheel's center bore. 
    • If you don't have calipers, a tape measure or ruler can work, but note that it may not be as precise. 
    • Common sizes are 545454 mm, 656565 mm, and 757575 mm, but it's crucial to measure. 
  • Check the existing center cap:
    • Measure the inner diameter of the existing center cap from clip to clip, as this is the most critical measurement for fitment. 
    • You may also want to measure the outer diameter (O.D.) and the depth, especially for aftermarket wheels. 
  • If you have stock wheels:
    • Google the make and model of your car, followed by "center cap" or "wheel cap," to see if you can identify the correct part. 
    • Look for a part number on the back of the old cap to use in online part databases or with a dealer. 
  • If you have aftermarket wheels:
    • Visit the wheel manufacturer's website to find a part number or specifications for the correct center cap. 
    • Contact the manufacturer directly for assistance if needed. 
    • Your local dealer's parts department can also help if the manufacturer is one they support.

Important considerations
  • Center bore vs. center cap size: The wheel's center bore (the hole that goes over the hub) is not the same as the center cap size. A center cap should fit within the recessed area on the wheel's face. 
  • Aftermarket vs. stock: Aftermarket wheels have a greater variety of sizes and styles, making accurate measurements even more important. 
  • Part numbers: Using the correct part number is the most reliable way to ensure compatibility, especially for branded caps.
