The 2005 Toyota Tundra bolt pattern is 6x5.5 or 6 on 5.5. This means that each of its wheels has six bolts forming a circle 5.5 inches in diameter.
The Tundra pickup truck has been on the American market since 1999 and has been named MotorTrend magazine’s Truck of the Year twice. It’s known as a rugged, reliable truck with surprisingly affordable car insurance
and repair costs.

It’s also made a splash in the world of motor racing, regularly winning the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
Whether you’re using your 2005 Tundra for pulling shuttles or NASCAR racing, at some point you may want to change up your wheels. You’ll need to know the bolt pattern to do this, and we’re here with all the details.
