Do all tacomas have the same lug pattern?
Yes—the lug pattern for Toyota Tacomas is consistent across model years: 6 studs on a 5.5-inch bolt circle (6x139.7 mm).
In this article we break down what that means, how it has applied across generations, and how to verify the pattern on your specific truck before buying wheels or adapters.
Lug pattern basics
The lug pattern, also called bolt pattern, describes how many lug studs a wheel has and the circle those studs form. For Tacomas sold in the United States and most markets, Toyota has used a 6-lug configuration with a 5.5-inch (139.7 mm) bolt circle across generations. That means most aftermarket wheels labeled as 6x139.7, 6x5.5, or 6x139.7 mm will fit without adapters on a stock Tacoma, assuming other dimensions like center bore and offset are compatible.
Generational consistency
All generations common pattern
From the first generation (1995–2004) through the third generation (2016–present), the factory lug pattern remained 6x139.7 mm in the U.S. market. The 6-lug, 5.5-inch circle is part of Toyota's mid-size truck platform family, contributing to wheel compatibility across models like the Tacoma and 4Runner.
Notes on exceptions and markets
There are rare exceptions in non-U.S. markets or for certain special editions where wheel suppliers marketed different patterns. When in doubt, check the vehicle's VIN, the owner's manual, or the official Toyota specification for your exact year and market, and measure the hub to confirm the pattern. Center bore and offset also affect fitment beyond bolt pattern.
To verify your Tacoma’s lug pattern, consider these practical steps:
- Check the owner's manual or official Toyota specification for your exact year and market.
- Count the number of lug nuts (Tacomas are typically 6-lug).
- Measure the bolt circle diameter by measuring the distance between opposite lug holes, or confirm it is listed as 139.7 mm (5.5 inches).
- Verify the center bore size and offset to ensure full seating and proper fitment with aftermarket wheels.
- Consult a wheel shop or use an online wheel catalog with your VIN for precise confirmation.
Understanding these details helps ensure wheel compatibility and safe installation when upgrading wheels or swapping tires.
Summary
The Tacoma’s lug pattern is effectively a single standard: 6x139.7 mm (6 on 5.5 inches) across most generations in common markets. Always verify with official specs for your exact year and market, especially if you’re dealing with imports or aftermarket wheels, and consider center bore and offset in your fitment checks.
