1996 Lexus GS — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bolt pattern for a 1996 Lexus GS?
The 1996 Lexus GS uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern (also called lug pattern or PCD). The center bore is 60.1mm and the offset is 50mm.
What other years of Lexus GS have the same bolt pattern as the 1996?
The Lexus GS uses the 5x114.3 pattern from 1993 through 2020. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 1996, provided the offset and center bore also match.
What is the center bore of a 1996 Lexus GS?
The factory center bore (hub bore) for the 1996 Lexus GS is 60.1mm. If your aftermarket wheels have a larger hub bore, you will need hub-centric rings to prevent vibration.
Why is matching the 60.1mm center bore important for the 1996 GS?
The 60.1mm center bore ensures the wheel is perfectly centered on the hub. If the wheel is lug-centric instead of hub-centric, you may experience steering wheel vibration at highway speeds.
Will wheels from another Lexus fit my 1996 GS?
Only if they share the exact same 5x114.3 bolt pattern, a compatible offset, and a center bore equal to or larger than 60.1mm.
What is the PCD for a 1996 Lexus GS?
PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter, which is the same as the bolt pattern. For the 1996 GS, the PCD is 5x114.3.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy Wheels
- Verify thread pitch before installation; M12x1.25 and M12x1.5 are not interchangeable.
- Confirm bolt pattern carefully. 5x114.3 is often confused with other common 5-lug patterns.
- Torque lugs in a star pattern to 80 ft-lbs (108 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).
