What is the bolt pattern on a Lexus GS300?
The Lexus GS300 uses a 5-lug wheel pattern on a 114.3 mm bolt circle, commonly written as 5x114.3. This is the standard pattern across most GS300 generations, so many wheels that fit other Lexus or Toyota models with 5x114.3 will fit the GS300 as well, provided other fit considerations are met.
In addition to the bolt pattern, wheel fit depends on factors like hub bore and offset. When replacing wheels, it's important to verify these specifications for your specific year and trim to ensure proper centering, clearance, and safety.
Bolt pattern details
Before you shop for wheels, confirm the exact bolt pattern used by your GS300. The following specification is the primary factor to verify:
- Bolt pattern: 5x114.3 mm (5 lug holes on a 114.3 mm circle).
With the correct bolt pattern, many aftermarket and OEM wheels become viable options, but you should still check every other fit parameter to prevent interference or balancing issues.
Other fit considerations
Even when the bolt pattern matches, several related dimensions determine whether a wheel will fit properly on a GS300.
Hub bore and offset considerations
Ensure the wheel’s center bore will accommodate the GS300’s hub, or plan to use hub-centric rings if needed. Offset compatibility is also important to maintain proper suspension clearance and steering geometry; verify stock offset ranges for your year and trim and compare them to the wheels you intend to use.
Summary
In summary, the Lexus GS300 predominantly uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern. When selecting wheels or adapters, confirm the pattern is 5x114.3 and verify hub bore compatibility and offset for your specific year and model to ensure a safe, proper fit.
