. If you’re not sure what those numbers mean, no worries. Unless you work with car tires regularly, it’s not likely you would. Bolt patterns, otherwise called lug patterns, are expressed with two numbers that tell us:

If we look at the bolt pattern for the 2006 Tundra, 6x5.5, we’ll see that each wheel has 6 bolts arranged in a circle 5.5 inches in diameter. Now, the bolt pattern is a good starting point but it doesn’t contain all the information you’ll need for a wheel swap. You also need to know the wheel size, stud size, wheel offset, center bore measurement, and torque specs:
Stud size: M12 x 1.5 (12 mm stud thread, 1.5 mm thread spacing)
Offset: -4 to 18 mm (depending on trim level)
Wheel tightening torque: 131 Nm

How to measure your Toyota Tundra’s bolt pattern
You could take all the specifications above to your local tire dealer and be well-armed for choosing your next, correctly-fitting set of wheels—but we know some of you will want to check on that bolt pattern for yourself.
You’ll just need a measuring tool and a way to jot some numbers down. Head out to one of your 2006 Tundra’s tires and measure from the center of any bolt to the center of the bolt directly opposite.
The measurement between the two lugs is your circle’s diameter.
