What lug pattern does Toyota have?
The most common modern Toyota lug pattern is 5x114.3 mm, but you may encounter 5x100 mm, 4x100 mm, or 6x139.7 mm on different models, generations, and markets. The exact pattern depends on the specific vehicle you own.
To understand Toyota lug patterns in detail, this article explains the patterns you’re likely to see, how to identify your vehicle’s exact bolt pattern, and what to check when replacing wheels or tires.
Common lug patterns found on Toyota vehicles
The following patterns cover the majority of Toyota’s on-road lineup across generations and regions. They are the patterns you are most likely to encounter when shopping for wheels or spacers for a Toyota.
- 5x114.3 mm (5-114.3): The most common pattern on modern Toyota cars, crossovers, and larger SUVs; widely used across the Toyota and Lexus families.
- 5x100 mm: Found on some older or smaller Toyota models and certain markets; less common on current mainstream models.
- 4x100 mm: Present on a few very early Toyota models and some regional variants; largely phased out in newer lineups.
- 6x139.7 mm: Used on many of Toyota’s trucks and large SUVs (e.g., 4Runner, Land Cruiser, Sequoia); also seen on certain durable work trucks.
Note: Center bore and thread pitch vary and can affect fit even if the bolt pattern matches. Always verify all wheel specs for your specific car before buying.
Determining the exact bolt pattern for your Toyota
To ensure you buy wheels that fit properly, follow these steps to identify your exact bolt pattern and related specs.
- Check the owner’s manual or the driver’s side door jamb placard for wheel and lug pattern information.
- Determine how many lugs your hub uses (4, 5, or 6).
- If you have a 5- or 6-lug setup, measure the bolt circle diameter (BCD) by measuring the distance between the centers of opposite lug holes. A bolt-pattern gauge can help with accuracy.
- Note the center bore diameter; many wheels are hub-centric and require a matching bore or a hub-centric ring. Also check thread pitch and lug nut size (for example, M12x1.25 or M12x1.5).
- Consult Toyota’s official specifications for your exact model and year or use trusted databases and retailers to confirm the bolt pattern for your VIN.
With the exact bolt pattern known, you can confidently select wheels that fit safely and perform as intended.
Other considerations when replacing wheels
Beyond the bolt pattern, wheel compatibility depends on center bore, offset, and thread pitch. Mismatches can cause vibration, improper seating, or safety concerns. If a wheel pattern matches but the center bore is larger, you may need a hub-centric ring; if offset differs, you may need spacers or a different wheel size.
Important compatibility notes
Always verify center bore size and runout, and ensure lug nuts are the correct size and pitch for your axle. When buying aftermarket wheels, confirm the exact specs with the retailer and compare them to your vehicle’s factory specs.
Summary
Toyota uses multiple lug patterns across its lineup. The most common modern pattern is 5x114.3 mm, but you should verify for your specific model and year. By checking the owner’s manual, VIN data, and wheel specs, you can determine the exact bolt pattern and avoid fitment issues. Always consider center bore, offset, and thread pitch in addition to the bolt pattern to ensure a proper, safe fit.
