Toyota Tundra Wheel Lugs
Wheel lugs keep your wheels bolted tightly to the axles of your Toyota Tundra. Whether you need to replace just one wheel lug or need a whole set, you can find a variety of options to choose from.
What are wheel lugs?The Toyota Tundra uses wheel lug nuts to fasten the wheels to the truck. There are long wheel studs extending from the hub of the axle that the wheels fit over. The nuts are then tightened against the rims for a secure fit.
What is the bolt pattern for the Toyota Tundra?The bolt pattern is a set of numbers. It tells you how many lug nuts are on each wheel and the size of the circle they are set into on the rim. The bolt pattern of the Tundra depends on its year of manufacture.
Model years from 2000 through 2006 have a bolt pattern of 6 x 139.7. From 2007 forward, the pattern is 5 x 150. The first number is the lug nuts per wheel. The second number is the diameter of the circle they form, in millimeters.
What are the thread characteristics of Tundra lug nuts?The thread size and pitch of the wheel studs must match the lug nuts or they aren’t compatible. For Tundra models from 2000 through 2006, the thread size and pitch are expressed as 12 x 1.5. Models from 2017 and later are 14 x 1.5.
Thread size refers to the diameter of the wheel studs in millimeters, so they will be either 12 or 14 millimeters wide on the Tundra. The distance between the threads is the thread pitch. The pitch is 1.5 millimeters for all models of this Toyota.
What seat type do Toyota Tundra lug nuts have?Seat type is a reference to the shape of the end of the nut that tightens against the wheel. The factory seat type for your Tundra may depend on whether it came with steel or alloy wheels. The stock steel rims typically have lug nuts with a conical acorn seat type. Alloy wheels usually have the mag seat type, which is a flat seat with a washer.
The shape of the seat of the lug nut must match the corresponding shape of the rim. This means that if youre replacing the rims, you may need different lug nuts, too.
How long are Toyota Tundra lug nuts?The factory lug nut has an overall length of 46 millimeters. This is another parameter that may not work with aftermarket rims. You can find a shorter lug nut to tuck away under a hubcap or a longer one for a wider rim.
What are wheel locks?Wheel locks are sometimes called locking lug nuts. You can deter theft of your rims by putting one lock on each wheel. The locks can only be removed with the corresponding key.
