14 inch Alloy Wheels
No, 6x139.7 and 6.5x5 are *not* the same bolt pattern. While they both involve a 139.7mm pitch circle diameter (PCD), the number of lugs differs.
6x139.7 means six lug nuts spaced equally around a circle with a diameter of 139.7mm. Conversely, 6.5x5 refers to a pattern where there are approximately 6.5 studs/lugs - this is often used for older or less common vehicle patterns.
Using the wrong bolt pattern can be extremely dangerous and could lead to wheel failure. Always confirm your vehicle’s specifications before purchasing wheels or lug nuts!
It’s more accurate to say what *trucks and SUVs* have a 139.7mm (5x5.5 inch) bolt pattern, as it's rarely found on passenger cars.
As mentioned earlier, Toyota trucks and SUVs are prime examples: Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser. Nissan’s Titan, Frontier, and Xterra also use this pattern. Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero is another key vehicle.
This bolt pattern provides a strong wheel mounting solution for vehicles designed to handle heavier loads or off-road conditions. If you're looking at aftermarket wheels, be sure the offset & backspacing are correct for your specific vehicle!
The most common equivalent term for 5x139.7 is 5x5.5 inches. This conversion simply changes the measurement from millimeters to inches, but refers to the same bolt pattern.
Sometimes you'll also see it referred to as 5x139mm or even rounded to 5x140. While technically not *exact*, these are often used interchangeably in wheel listings and discussions.
When searching for wheels, using any of these terms (5x139.7, 5x5.5, 5x139mm) should yield similar results. Just remember to always verify the specifications with the seller before purchasing!
The 5x139.7mm (or roughly 5x5.5 inch) bolt pattern is most commonly found on full-size trucks and large SUVs, particularly those from Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi.
Specific models include the Toyota Tacoma, Tundra, 4Runner, FJ Cruiser, Nissan Titan, Frontier, Xterra, and Mitsubishi Pajero/Montero. It's crucial to confirm compatibility with your specific year and model as there can be variations.
This pattern isn’t widely used outside these brands, so finding aftermarket wheels might require more searching or adapters. Always double-check the lug size (thread pitch) along with the bolt pattern!
