What is the bolt pattern on a Lexus GX 460?
The Lexus GX 460 uses a 6-lug bolt pattern with a 139.7 mm bolt circle, commonly described as 6x139.7 mm or 6x5.5 inches.
For owners planning wheel replacements or upgrades, understanding the bolt pattern is essential. In the GX 460, this pattern is paired with other fitment factors—such as hub bore and offset—that influence whether aftermarket wheels will fit properly and safely.
Bolt pattern specifics
Here are the core details you need to know about the GX 460’s wheel mounting pattern.
- Pattern: 6 lug bolts
- Bolt circle (PCD): 139.7 mm (5.5 inches)
- Commonly written as: 6x139.7 mm or 6x5.5"
- Model-year consistency: 6x139.7 mm has been standard across typical GX 460 production years
With these facts in hand, you can identify wheels that will physically bolt on. The exact compatibility also depends on hub bore and wheel offset, which influence centering and clearance.
Practical considerations when sourcing wheels
Beyond the bolt pattern, ensure the wheel hub bore matches the GX 460’s hub or use hub-centric rings, and verify the wheel offset and width to maintain proper clearance and braking performance.
- Hub bore compatibility: verify that the wheel’s center bore fits the vehicle hub or plan for hub-centric rings
- Offset and width: confirm these fit within the vehicle’s fender and brake caliper clearances to avoid rubbing
- Quality and load rating: choose wheels rated for the GX 460’s weight and performance characteristics
- Availability of lug nuts/ bolts: ensure the correct fastener type for the chosen wheels
When in doubt, consult the vehicle manufacturer’s specifications or a qualified tire and wheel professional to confirm compatibility before purchase.
How to verify wheel compatibility
To practically verify compatibility, follow these steps before ordering or mounting new wheels.
- Check the vehicle’s door placard or owner's manual for the official bolt pattern (should read 6x139.7 mm)
- Count the lug holes on your current wheels to confirm six-lug mounting
- Measure or confirm the hub bore size and plan for hub-centric rings if needed
- Confirm the wheel offset and width align with your GX 460’s suspension and braking layout
Proper verification helps prevent fitment issues like rubbing, improper centering, or incorrect load handling.
Summary
In short, the Lexus GX 460 uses a 6x139.7 mm bolt pattern. When shopping for wheels, ensure not only the bolt pattern but also the hub bore, offset, width, and load rating match the vehicle. If you’re unsure, consult a wheel specialist or your dealership to confirm exact specifications for your model year.
