What size are the lug nuts on a mk2 mr2?

The Mk2 MR2 (SW20) typically uses five lug nuts per wheel on a 5x114.3 mm bolt pattern, with metric M12 x 1.5 threads and a 60-degree conical seat.


Core specifications to know


These are the core specs to confirm when selecting lug nuts for the Mk2 MR2.



  • Bolt pattern: 5 x 114.3 mm (5x114.3)

  • Thread size: M12 x 1.5

  • Seat type: 60-degree conical (cone) seat

  • Number of studs: five per wheel


Note: Aftermarket wheels may use different seat types or require different lug nut shapes. Always verify with the wheel manufacturer or a trusted parts retailer.


How to verify your exact setup


To ensure you have the right lug nuts for your exact wheels, consider the following steps.



  1. Consult the vehicle’s manual or Toyota’s official specs for the lug pattern and thread size.

  2. Inspect the existing lug nuts for markings (such as M12 x 1.5) and measure with calipers if unsure.

  3. Check the wheel manufacturer’s documentation for the required seat type (cone/ball/flat) and lug nut dimensions for your wheels.

  4. When in doubt, bring a wheel and lug nut sample to a professional or parts retailer to confirm compatibility before reassembly and driving.


Adhering to these steps helps ensure proper seating, safe torque application, and reduced risk of cross-threading or damage.
