What is the bolt pattern on a Toyota Tacoma 5 lug?
The Toyota Tacoma uses a 5-lug bolt pattern on a 114.3 mm circle, written as 5x114.3 (5x4.5 inches).
That pattern, 5x114.3, means five lug holes evenly spaced on a circle 114.3 millimeters in diameter. It’s the standard across all Tacoma generations, though wheel fitment also depends on center bore size and offset.
Bolt pattern specifics for Tacoma wheels
The following overview highlights the key details a Tacomas owner needs when selecting wheels or tires.
- Bolt pattern: 5 lug holes on a 114.3 mm diameter circle (5x114.3 or 5x4.5 inches).
- Center bore: typically 60.1 mm; many wheels require hub-centric rings if the bore differs.
- Cross-compatibility: The 5x114.3 pattern is shared with several other Toyota models and with many non-Toyota vehicles, expanding wheel options while requiring careful fit checks.
When choosing wheels, also verify that the wheel offset, width, and caliper clearance are suitable for the Tacoma’s suspension and braking components. If in doubt, consult the wheel manufacturer or a professional installer.
Why the bolt pattern matters for wheel swaps
Using wheels with the wrong bolt pattern will prevent mounting and can cause safety risks. The 5x114.3 pattern is the standard, but some aftermarket wheels advertised as universal may not actually fit Tacoma hubs without adapters or rings.
Model-year considerations
All current Tacoma generations have used 5x114.3, but there can be minor variations in hub bore and brake caliper dimensions. Always confirm with the wheel manufacturer for your exact year and trim.
Summary
In short, Toyota Tacomas use a 5-lug bolt pattern on a 114.3 mm bolt circle (5x114.3 or 5x4.5). This specification is the baseline for wheel compatibility, but proper fitment also depends on center bore size and offset. Always verify these details before purchasing wheels or adapters, and seek expert guidance if needed.
