Toyota Tundra Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide — The Ultimate Master Resource
From the nimble 1st Gen to the twin-turbo hybrid 3rd Gen, the Toyota Tundra is a powerful full-size truck platform. However, because Toyota changed the hub bolt patterns and offsets between generations, choosing the correct wheel is critical. This guide breaks down Tundra wheel and tire fitment specs across all three generations.

Fitment Essentials: What You Need to Know
Hub-Centric Design
Toyota trucks and SUVs feature hub-centric wheel hubs (typically 106.1mm). This means the wheel is centered directly by the hub collar, not the lug nuts. Always choose hub-centric wheels or use hub-centric rings to prevent steering vibrations.
Wheel Offset & Scrub Radius
Offset determines how far the wheel sits in or out of the wheel well. A negative offset pushes the wheel outwards for a wider stance, but it increases the scrub radius, which increases the likelihood of tires rubbing the rear of the fender liner or the body mount.
Trimming & Cleansing
Fitting larger tires (e.g. 33s or 35s) often requires trimming the inner fender plastic, removing mud flaps, or performing a Cab Mount Chop (CMC). These modifications clear space for the tire during suspension articulation and steering lock.
Speedometer Calibration
Changing to a taller tire diameter will cause your speedometer to read slower than your actual speed. Consider installing a speedometer calibrator module to correct the instrument cluster readings and shift points.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do all Toyota Tundras share the same bolt pattern?
No, they differ by generation: 1st Gen Tundras (2000-2006) use a 6x139.7mm pattern. 2nd Gen Tundras (2007-2021) use a 5x150mm pattern. 3rd Gen Tundras (2022+) use a 6x139.7mm (6x5.5") pattern.
What is the center bore on a Toyota Tundra?
The 1st and 3rd Gen Tundras feature a 106.1mm hub bore, while the 2nd Gen Tundra has a larger 110.1mm hub bore.
Can I fit 35-inch tires on a 3rd Gen Tundra?
Yes, with a 3-inch suspension lift and a positive offset wheel (generally between +18mm and +25mm), you can run 35" tires (e.g., 35x12.50R18) with only minor plastic lining trimming.
