The Short Version
- 6×139.7 on every Caravan grade we checked — van and passenger wagon alike, 2WD and 4WD, E24 through NV350.
- There is no passenger-versus-commercial split. This is the opposite of the Hiace.
- E24 and E25 hub bore is 100 mm. Large, and not shared with the Toyota trucks.
- The NV350’s bore is marked “under investigation” on every grade, van and wagon.
The Question We Came to Ask
We found on the Toyota Hiace that the passenger Wagon runs 5×114.3 on a 67 mm bore while the commercial Van runs 6×139.7 — a split by purpose rather than by generation, and one that catches buyers out constantly.
The Caravan does not do that. Every grade we opened is six-hole: the E24 Caravan Coach, which is the passenger car; the E25 van in both two- and four-wheel drive; and the NV350 in both van and Wagon form, including the Rider GX.
So the rule for a Caravan is simpler than for a Hiace. If it is a Caravan, it is six studs.

The 100 mm Bore Is the Thing to Watch
The Caravan’s 100 mm hub register is unusual. The Japanese light trucks that share its 6×139.7 bolt pattern do not share its bore: the Hilux Surf and the Prado are 106 mm, the second-generation Pajero is 107 mm, and the third-generation Pajero is 67 mm.
The consequence matters commercially. A 6×139.7 wheel from a Surf or a Prado has a 106 mm bore and will sit loose on a Caravan’s 100 mm hub, needing a ring. And a wheel bored 100 mm exactly will not go on a Surf at all.
So on this family of vehicles, checking the bolt pattern is genuinely not enough. Check the bore, and see our hub bore reference for how to measure it if a seller cannot tell you.
The NV350 Gap
Every NV350 grade page we opened — four of them, van and wagon, two- and four-wheel drive — returns 調査中 for the hub bore. That is the database saying it has not researched the figure, not a blank cell.
Secondary sources, including hub-ring listings sold for the NV350, consistently say 100 mm, which would mean continuity from the E25. That is reasonable and it is not a factory figure. If you are ordering rings for an NV350, measure or ask.
A Note on “139” Versus “139.7”
Some of the E25 pages print the PCD as 139 mm rather than 139.7. We are reporting the literal digits shown, but this is almost certainly the site truncating the standard figure rather than a different pattern — 139 mm is not a bolt circle anyone manufactures.
Treat it as 6×139.7.
Sizing
15×5.5J at +45 is the working-van fitment and most exported Caravans keep it, because tyre availability and load rating matter more than looks in the markets these go to.
Where they do get changed, the usual move is 16×6.5J to 17×7J in the +25 to +45 range. Load rating is the constraint, not width — and as we cover in our load rating guide, most Japanese aftermarket makers do not publish one.
Importing
The E24 ran 1986–2001, so it is essentially fully eligible for US import. The E25 ran 2001–2012 and follows month by month; the NV350 is 2037 and later.
The Caravan has never been sold in North America. Its volume goes to Africa, the Caribbean, the Pacific and New Zealand, where it competes directly with the Hiace — and where, as this guide shows, the two are not interchangeable at the hub.
What We Could Not Verify
- A plain E24 commercial van grade. We found and opened only Caravan Coach passenger pages for that generation. We are not assuming the van matches without a source.
- NV350 hub bore, marked unresearched on every grade we opened.
- NV350 four-wheel-drive wagon grades and diesel wagon offsets specifically.
