What bolt pattern is a Toyota Highlander?

The Toyota Highlander generally uses a 5x114.3 mm bolt pattern (five lug holes on a 114.3 mm circle).


Across its generations, Toyota has kept a consistent 5-lug, 114.3 mm bolt circle for the Highlander, though very few regional or rare market variants may differ. This article explains the standard pattern and how to verify compatibility for your specific year and market.


Bolt pattern basics


Here are the core specs you’ll typically encounter when replacing wheels or choosing aftermarket rims for a Highlander.



  • Bolt pattern: 5x114.3 mm (five lugs on a 114.3 mm circle).

  • Center bore: 60.1 mm.

  • Lug nut size/thread: commonly M12x1.5, with 19–21 mm lug-nut sockets depending on year and wheel design.

  • Number of lug nuts: 5.

  • Typical wheel offset: commonly around ET42–ET45 for many Highlander wheels, though exact offset varies by wheel design.


With these specs in mind, you can source wheels that fit the Highlander’s mounting interface. Always confirm exact dimensions for your specific year and market before purchasing wheels or adapters.


Year/market variations and verification


While 5x114.3 mm is the standard for the vast majority of Highlanders, some very early models or regional variants may differ. To be certain, verify using your VIN, the owner's manual, or a trusted parts database, and if possible, measure the lug pattern on your current wheels.


Practical tips for buyers


When shopping for wheels, also check center bore compatibility (hub-centric rings may be needed if the wheel bore differs) and ensure the offset and width won’t rub on brakes, suspension components, or fenders. If adapting wheels from another Toyota model, confirm fitment on a per-wheel basis with your vehicle’s year and market.


Summary


Bottom line: The Toyota Highlander’s wheel mounting interface is predominantly 5x114.3 mm with a 60.1 mm center bore and five lug nuts. Always verify the exact specs for your year and market before purchasing wheels or adapters.
