The Short Version
- 5×114.3 with a 60 mm hub bore on both the Progres and the Brevis — the same as the Crown and the Crown Majesta.
- “Crown-derived hardware” is literal. The fitment carries through identically.
- The Progres runs 15×6J at +58 across its entire nine-year production run, every grade, two- and four-wheel drive alike.
- +58 is very deep. That is the number to plan around.

+58 Deserves Its Own Paragraph
The Progres sits at +58. That is deeper than the Accord Euro R’s +55, deeper than the Crown Athlete’s +50, and about as far inboard as Japanese passenger cars of the era get.
It is a deliberate choice: the Progres was designed as a compact luxury saloon — Crown mechanicals in a smaller, narrower body — and Toyota tucked the wheels in to make the proportions work inside Japan’s 5-number registration class.
For a buyer it means almost every aftermarket wheel you look at will sit further out than stock, often considerably. Going from +58 to +45 moves the face out 13 mm. That is not necessarily wrong — a Progres on factory wheels looks distinctly tucked — but it is a bigger change than the numbers suggest.
The Crown Connection Is Real
We already publish guides for the Crown Majesta and the Crown Athlete, and both are 5×114.3 on a 60 mm bore. So are the Progres and the Brevis.
That means the whole family interchanges on pattern and register — Progres, Brevis, Crown, Crown Athlete, Crown Majesta, and by extension the Celsior and LS400, which share the same figures.
What does not interchange cleanly is offset, and the Progres is the outlier at +58. A Crown Athlete wheel at +50 on a Progres will sit 8 mm further out; a Majesta S200 wheel at +39 will sit 19 mm further out. All bolt on. Plan for the geometry, not just the fitment.
Brevis Versus Progres
The Brevis is the sportier sibling on the same JCG platform, sold alongside the Progres rather than strictly replacing it. Its wheels are bigger and its offsets shallower: 16×6.5J at +50 on the base Ai300, up to 17×7J at +50 on the Ai250 Premium, with the four-wheel-drive Ai250 Four dropping back to 15×6.5J at +50.
Note that the four-wheel-drive JCG15 does not change bolt pattern or bore on either car — confirmed directly on the Progres, inferred on the Brevis.
Importing
The Progres launched in May 1998 and the Brevis in June 2001. Cars built through August 2001 are US-eligible now, which covers a good chunk of Progres production and almost none of the Brevis. Both run to 2007, so eligibility rolls forward through to 2032.
Neither was sold outside Japan, which is much of the appeal — a Progres is a 2JZ-powered Toyota saloon that most people have never seen.
What We Could Not Verify
- Brevis Ai250 Premium and Ai250 Four PCD and bore. We read their wheel sizes from the index and did not open their pages.
- Progres NC250 two-wheel-drive sub-grades individually. Wheel size is unchanged across 1998–2007 on the index; we opened the NC300 and the 4WD NC250 Four.
