What is the bolt pattern on a Toyota GR 86?

The GR86 uses a 5x100 bolt pattern.


Understanding that bolt pattern helps you choose compatible wheels and tires, and informs whether hub-centric rings or spacers are needed. This article breaks down the standard GR86 wheel specs and practical considerations for owners and buyers.


Bolt pattern and related wheel specs


Key measurements you should know when shopping for wheels or replacing stock wheels on the GR86.



  • Bolt pattern: 5 lug studs on a 100 mm circle (5x100).

  • Center bore: roughly 56.0–56.5 mm. Depending on the wheel, you may need hub rings to achieve a precise fit.

  • Lug nut size and seat: M12 x 1.5 with a conical (tapered) seat is standard on most GR86 wheels.

  • Stock wheel offset: commonly around +45 mm, but actual offset can vary by year and trim; verify on your vehicle.


With these measurements, you can assess whether aftermarket wheels will fit without rubbing or requiring excessive spacers.


Wheel compatibility and installation notes


The 5x100 bolt pattern is shared with the Toyota GR86’s BRZ sibling, and it has remained consistent across the current generation. When fitting wheels not originally specified for the GR86, pay attention to center bore compatibility and hub-centric design to avoid vibration or improper seating. If you encounter a wheel with a different center bore, hub rings can often bridge the gap, while offset differences should be considered to maintain proper suspension geometry and brake clearance. Always consult the wheel manufacturer’s specifications and confirm with a professional if you plan to use aftermarket wheels.


Model-year notes


As of the latest information, the GR86 maintains the same bolt pattern across the 2022–2025 model years, aligning with the BRZ twins. Variations by year or trim are usually limited to offset or brake rotor dimensions rather than fundamental bolt pattern. For exact compatibility with wheels from other years or models, check your vehicle’s VIN and the wheel producer’s fitment guide.


Summary


The Toyota GR86 uses a 5x100 bolt pattern with a hub bore of about 56.0–56.5 mm. When selecting wheels, verify center bore, lug nut size (M12 x 1.5) and typical offset (around +45 mm) for your exact year and trim. If in doubt, consult the owner's manual or a dealership, and consider hub rings or spacers only when necessary and safe.

Is the Toyota 86 5x100?


PCD: 5x100. Size: 16x6. 5J. 1x Toyota 86 OEM Wheel.



What is the bolt pattern on a GR86?


The Toyota GR86 has a 5x100 bolt pattern, a 56.1mm hub bore, and uses M12x1.25mm lug studs. This means there are 5 bolt holes with a 100mm diameter for them to be measured across. 

  • Bolt Pattern: 5x100
  • Hub Bore: 56.1mm
  • Thread Size: M12x1.25mm
  • Hardware: 60-degree conical seats



What size wheels are on a Toyota GR 86?


The Toyota GR86 comes standard with 17-inch wheels for the base model and 18-inch wheels for the premium trims. The stock wheels have a bolt pattern of 5x100 and an offset of +48mm. 
Standard wheel sizes

  • Base model: 17-inch diameter
  • Premium/Yuzu Edition: 18-inch diameter 

Stock wheel specifications
  • Bolt pattern: 5x100
  • Offset: +48mm
  • Width: 7.5 inches (for both 17-inch and 18-inch OEM wheels) 



What is the 5X120 bolt pattern equal to?


A 5x120 bolt pattern is the metric equivalent of a 5x4.72-inch bolt pattern. While very similar, it is slightly different from the 5x120.7mm (5x4.75-inch) pattern, which is common on some vehicles like older Corvettes and Camaros. The difference is small (only 0.7 mm0.7 mm0.7 mm), but can cause issues if not addressed with proper adapters or hub-centric rings. 
Key takeaways

  • 5x120 mm is the same as 5x4.72 inches. This is a common bolt pattern for many modern vehicles. 
  • It is not the same as 5x4.75 inches, though the two are often confused. The difference is about 0.7 mm0.7 mm0.7 mm (0.028 inches). 
  • For a perfect fit, always match the exact bolt pattern. Trying to fit a 5x4.75 wheel onto a 5x120 hub (or vice-versa) can cause pressure on the studs and lead to damage or safety issues. 
  • Use proper adapters if needed. If your vehicle has a 5x4.75 bolt pattern and you want to use 5x120 wheels, you can use a wheel adapter. These adapters can help ensure a proper fit and reduce the risk of damage to your vehicle. 
  • Always check compatibility before buying. Before purchasing wheels for your vehicle, check its specific bolt pattern and compare it to the wheel's specifications. You can also check the manufacturer's website or consult a professional if you are unsure.
