6×139.7 Bolt Pattern: Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner Wheel Guide
If you drive a Toyota Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner, or the newer Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon, you’re running the 6×139.7 bolt pattern β also known as 6×5.5 inches. It’s one of the most common lug configurations in the off-road and truck world, and for good reason: it’s tough, widely supported, and gives you access to a huge range of aftermarket wheels. In this guide, we’ll break down exactly what the 6×139.7 bolt pattern means, which vehicles use it, what wheel sizes and offsets work best for daily driving and trail use, and share our top wheel picks for a few popular builds. We’ll also touch on what ICWT customers in Mesa and Gilbert typically run on their desert rigs. By the end, you’ll know exactly how to pick the right 6×139.7 bolt pattern wheels for your truck or SUV.
What Does 6×139.7 Mean?
A 6×139.7 bolt pattern means the wheel has six lug holes arranged in a circle with a diameter of 139.7 millimeters β that’s exactly 5.5 inches. The pattern is often written as 6×139.7 or 6×5.5 interchangeably. It’s not the same as the old 6×135 pattern found on some older Ford or Chevy trucks, so don’t mix them up. The 6×139.7 pattern is physically larger in diameter than 6×135, so wheels won’t interchange without adapters.
Key characteristics of this pattern:
- Six-lug pattern β strong enough for heavy loads and off-road abuse
- Bolt circle diameter: 139.7 mm / 5.5 inches
- Common center bore sizes: 106.1 mm (Toyota) or 78.1 mm (GM/others) β you’ll need hub-centric rings if mixing.
- Lug nut thread pitch: typically M12x1.5 for Toyota, M14x1.5 for GM
This pattern is the default for almost all modern mid-size and full-size Toyota trucks and SUVs, as well as the Chevy Colorado / GMC Canyon twins. Knowing this pattern inside out is step one to finding the right wheels for your build.

Here’s a quick list of vehicles that come factory with 6×139.7 bolt pattern wheels. Remember β no year ranges here, just model names. If your truck or SUV is listed below, you can bolt on any 6×139.7 wheel that matches your hub bore and offset requirements.

Best Wheel Sizes and Offsets for 6×139.7
Getting the size and offset right is critical for proper handling, clearance, and looks. Here’s what typically works on this bolt pattern.
Popular Wheel Diameters
- 16 inches β common for off-road builds, more sidewall, better on rocks
- 17 inches β the sweet spot for Tacoma and 4Runner owners. Plenty of tire options (285/70R17, 255/75R17, etc.)
- 18 inches β more common on Tundra and newer 4Runner Limited trims
- 20 inches β mostly street-oriented, larger brake clearance needed
Offset Considerations
Offset is measured in millimeters and can be positive (wheel sits inward) or negative (sticks out). For 6×139.7 trucks:
- Stock offset: Usually around +30 to +45 mm (positive) for Tacoma/4Runner/Tundra
- Aggressive fitment: -12 to 0 mm offset for a wider stance; common with aftermarket off-road wheels
- Moderate upgrade: +10 to +25 mm offset fits most with trimming or minor lift
Too much negative offset can cause tire rub on the frame or fenders, especially at full lock. Too much positive offset may cause rubbing on the upper control arm or sway bar. We recommend sticking with a 0 to +20 offset for most builds, and adjusting tire size accordingly. If you drive on desert trails around Mesa, Arizona, a 0 offset with 285/70R17 tires is a proven combo.

Vehicle Fitment Notes
Below are practical fitment notes for popular models using 6×139.7 bolt pattern wheels. No year ranges, just model names. These are based on common builds we see at the shop.
- Toyota Tacoma: Most aftermarket wheels require hub-centric rings (bore 106.1 mm). For a level look with 33″ tires, go with 17×8.5 or 17×9, offset +15 to +20. Negative offsets may need a cab mount chop or pinch weld flattening. Check our Tacoma wheel guide for detailed specs.
- Toyota Tundra: Larger brakes mean 17″ wheels are the minimum. Many Tundra guys run 17×9 with 285/65R18 tires, offset around 0 to +18. Clearance is generally better than Tacoma.
- Toyota 4Runner: Similar to Tacoma, but rear wheel wells are tighter. 17×8.5 with +20 offset and 285/70R17 tires is a popular no-rub setup on a mild lift. Avoid too much negative offset if you carry heavy loads.
- Chevrolet Colorado / GMC Canyon: These use a 78.1 mm center bore. Many Tacoma/Method wheels fit with hub-centric rings. Stock offset is around +33, but aftermarket 17×8.5 with +18 works well with 265/65R17 tires.
- Nissan Titan (if 6×139.7): Only certain years. Center bore is typically 109.6 mm. Verify before buying.

FAQ: 6×139.7 Bolt Pattern Wheels
What does 6×139.7 mean in inches?
6×139.7 is exactly 6×5.5 inches. The bolt circle measures 5.5 inches (139.7 mm) across. On the other hand, a 6×5.5 pattern is the same thing.
Will 6×139.7 wheels fit my Tacoma?
Yes, if your Tacoma is a 2005 or newer model. Make sure the wheel has the correct center bore (106.1 mm) or use hub-centric rings. Check our 6×139.7 bolt pattern wheels page for a complete list of fitments.
Can I use 6×135 wheels on a 6×139.7 truck?
No, not directly. The 6×135 pattern has a smaller bolt circle (135 mm vs 139.7 mm). You can use a wheel adapter, but we recommend sticking with the correct pattern for safety and proper lug engagement.
What offset should I choose for desert trails?
For Arizona desert trails around Mesa and Gilbert, a 0 to +18 offset works well with 17×9 wheels and 285/70R17 tires. It gives a wider stance without excessive rubbing. Heavy offset (+30 or more) may tuck the wheel too much and cause inner clearance issues.
Do I need new lug nuts for aftermarket 6×139.7 wheels?
Usually yes. Aftermarket wheels often require a different seat type (conical vs. ball seat) or a different thread size. Most aftermarket wheels take M12x1.5 conical lug nuts for Toyota, and M14x1.5 for GM. We can help you pick the right set.
