    Does any one have the exact measurements for the bolt pattern and depth of bolt. Trying/want to build an off road trail. I am hoping to use the 3500lbs trimbren axleless axles. With electric brakes. I want to have the same bolt pattern as the 3rd gen Tacoma. So I can use the same rims and tires. This will save on spares and no axle to bang around

    Bolt pattern is 6x5.5" on all six lug Toyotas forever and always. Can't help you on stud length.

    In order to use Toyota lug nuts, the stud thread size needs to be 12x1.5mm. Can't help on lemgth.

    Guys - a local dude has some FJ80 wheels with 6 x 5.5 bolt pattern - any issues with running them on a Gen 3 Tacoma with 286/75 16 tires ?

    All the things!
    I could be wrong, but I don't think you'll find a trailer axle with the proper Toyota Tacoma lug size (M12x1.5). You can certainly find them in the proper 6x5.5 (aka 6x139.7) pattern, but the studs won't be metric (M12x1.5). Additionally, most OEM wheels will use a hub centric design (use a mag lug) and will not be lug centric (use an acorn lug). This means that it will be nearly impossible to center the wheel on the hub.

    An easy solution to this, which I employed, was to use a set of Spidertrax wheel spacers. The Spidertrax spacer can be held to the hub using the factory hub lug nuts (acorn style) and will be lug centric. Then the Spidertrax spacer has a proper hub bore size (for Toyota hub centric wheels) and you can use the mag lug nuts.

    All of this is moot if you're going with an aftermarket wheel that is lug centric. Then you just need to be sure to use acorn style lug nuts that match the stud size of the trailer hub.
