Toyota 4Runner Bolt Pattern, Wheel & Tire Sizes
TL;DR
6x139.7mm bolt pattern has stayed constant since 1996, but the 2025+ 6th generation changed the stud thread (M14x1.5) and center bore (about 95mm) - always confirm on your own vehicle before buying wheels.
Bolt pattern by generation
Toyota has kept the 4Runner on the same 6x139.7mm (6x5.5 inch) bolt circle since at least the 3rd generation (1996-2002) through the 5th generation (2010-2024), with a 106.1mm center bore and M12x1.5 wheel studs on those model years. That run of consistency ends with the redesigned 6th generation (2025+), which shares its GA-F platform with the current Tacoma: it keeps the 6x139.7mm pattern but moves to M14x1.5 studs and a smaller hub bore of roughly 95.1-95.2mm. Wheels sized for a 2010-2024 truck will physically bolt to a 2025+ hub but will not center correctly without hub-centric adapter rings, and the stud size itself must also match.
Center bore and stud thread
Center bore matters because it is what centers the wheel on the hub, not the lug nuts. Sources agree the 1996-2024 trucks use a 106.1mm bore, while multiple 2025+ sources (Toyota-Tacoma-platform data and 6th-gen owner forums) independently point to a smaller bore near 95.1-95.2mm. We could not independently verify exact bolt pattern and bore figures for the 1st and 2nd generation (1984-1995) 4Runner from credible current sources, so no number is stated for those model years here - check your own vehicle using the methods below.
Stock wheel and tire sizes
Factory wheel and tire combinations changed with every redesign and often varied by trim and market. The table below lists the combinations we could verify per generation; your exact tire size also depends on trim (SR5, TRD, Limited, etc.) and options.
| Generation / years | Bolt pattern | Center bore | Stud thread | Stock wheel sizes | Common tire sizes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3rd gen (1996-2002) | 6x139.7mm (6x5.5 in) | 106.1 mm | M12x1.5 | 7Jx15 ET15, 7Jx16 ET15 | 225/75R15 102S, 265/70R16 111S |
| 4th gen incl. facelift (2003-2009) | 6x139.7mm (6x5.5 in) | 106.1 mm | M12x1.5 | 7JJx16 ET30, 7.5Jx17 ET30, 7.5Jx18 ET25 | 265/70R16 111S, 265/65R17 110S, 265/60R18 109H |
| 5th gen incl. facelift (2010-2024) | 6x139.7mm (6x5.5 in) | 106.1 mm | M12x1.5 | 7Jx17 ET15, 7.5Jx17 ET15, 7Jx20 ET15 | 265/70R17 113S, 245/60R20 107H |
| 6th gen (2025-present) | 6x139.7mm (6x5.5 in) | approx. 95.1-95.2 mm (verify on your unit) | M14x1.5 | 7Jx17 ET50, 7.5Jx18 ET55 (hybrid), 8Jx20 ET45 | 245/70R17, 265/70R18 (hybrid), 265/55R20 |
Always confirm on your own vehicle
Bolt pattern and torque figures can vary by trim, market and even mid-cycle running changes that generic databases do not always capture. Before buying wheels, verify your exact specification using your driver's door jamb placard, the tire and loading information sticker, your owner's manual, or the markings stamped on your current wheels; a tire shop can also confirm fitment on the vehicle in front of them.

Frequently asked questions
Will 5th generation (2010-2024) 4Runner wheels fit a 2025+ 6th generation 4Runner?
They share the same 6x139.7mm bolt pattern, so the studs will pass through, but the 6th generation uses M14x1.5 studs (not M12x1.5) and a smaller center bore near 95.1-95.2mm versus 106.1mm on the 5th generation. Do not assume a direct swap - confirm stud size and use the correct hub-centric rings, or have a shop verify fitment.
What is the Toyota 4Runner bolt pattern most owners will have?
If your 4Runner is a 1996-2024 model (3rd through 5th generation), it uses a 6x139.7mm (6x5.5 inch) bolt pattern with a 106.1mm center bore and M12x1.5 studs. Confirm your exact generation and year, since the redesigned 2025+ model changed this.
Where can I find the exact wheel specification for my own 4Runner?
Check the placard on the driver's door jamb, the tire and loading information label (often on the same door or in the glovebox), your owner's manual, the size markings stamped into your current wheels, or ask a tire shop to measure it directly - these are more reliable than any generic online database for your specific build.
Are the 1st and 2nd generation (1984-1995) 4Runner bolt pattern and center bore the same as later models?
We were not able to independently verify exact bolt pattern and center bore figures for the 1984-1995 4Runner from current credible sources, so we are not stating a number here. If you own one of these trucks, read the specification off your own wheels or hub, or consult a Toyota dealer parts department for your VIN.
