What is the bolt pattern on a Lexus CT 200h?
The Lexus CT 200h uses a 5x100 mm bolt pattern.
This article explains what that means for wheel compatibility, how to verify the lug pattern, center bore, and seat type, and what to check when replacing wheels or ordering aftermarket rims for the CT 200h (model years 2011–2017).
Bolt pattern basics for the CT 200h
Understanding the bolt pattern—the arrangement of lug holes around the wheel hub—helps you determine whether a wheel will bolt on, and whether you might need spacers or adapters. For the CT 200h, the standard pattern is five lugs on a 100 mm circle, commonly referred to as 5x100.
Why bolt pattern matters
Wheels must match both the lug count and the bolt circle diameter. A mismatch can prevent mounting or cause clearance problems with brake components.
- Pattern: 5 lug holes on a 100 mm bolt circle (5x100).
- Center bore: typically 60.0 mm, which helps wheels center on the hub.
- Lug nut size and seat: most CT 200h wheels use M12x1.5 threads with a conical (60°) seat; verify seat type for your chosen wheels.
- Offset: commonly around ET40, but exact offset varies by wheel design and brake clearance.
- Model coverage: the bolt pattern is consistent across the CT 200h model years (2011–2017), but always verify for your specific vehicle and VIN.
Key specs to check when shopping for wheels include:
Having these specs helps you shop confidently and avoids mounting issues or clearance problems with brakes or suspension components.
CT 200h-specific specs and verification
Although the CT 200h shares its platform with other Toyota/Lexus vehicles, its wheel pattern remains 5x100 mm across its production years. Always confirm the exact numbers on your current wheels or the door jamb placard, especially if you own a customized or modified vehicle.
- Consult the owner’s manual or the driver’s door jamb placard for the official lug pattern, lug size, and center bore.
- Measuring the PCD: count the lug holes and measure the distance between opposite lug holes (the PCD) to confirm 100 mm.
- Measure the center bore on the hub; if the wheel's bore is larger than the hub, hub-centric adapters or spacers may be needed to center the wheel properly.
- When in doubt, contact a Lexus dealer or wheel specialist to verify compatibility with aftermarket wheels and ensure brake clearance.
To verify the exact specs for your CT 200h, you can follow these steps:
Verifying these details minimizes fitment issues and helps ensure safe, reliable wheel installation.
Practical shopping tips
When shopping for wheels for the CT 200h, look for options listed as compatible with Toyota/Lexus 5x100 patterns and verify the center bore and seat type. If you plan to use spacers or different offsets, consult a professional for safety and proper alignment.
Summary
In short, the Lexus CT 200h uses a 5x100 mm bolt pattern (five lugs on a 100 mm circle), with a typical center bore around 60 mm and lug nut size M12x1.5. The common wheel offset for replacement wheels is often near ET40, but exact figures depend on the wheel design and brake clearance. Always confirm the exact specs for your vehicle year and wheel choice before purchasing or mounting new wheels.
