The Short Version

  • 5×114.3 on a 60 mm bore. Every Z20 grade.
  • Sixty, not sixty point one. The database states it explicitly on the individual grade page.
  • The 7M-GTE 3.0 and the 1G-GTE twin-turbo run identical wheels. Only the tyre differs.
  • No staggered fitment anywhere. Square front and rear on every grade.

The Bore Is 60

Toyota’s large-car hub bore is written 60.1 mm almost everywhere, and that figure is fine in practice — rings are made to it, wheels are bored to it, nobody has a problem.

The Japanese factory database prints 60 mm for the Z20. We opened an individual grade page — the E-GZ20 2.0 GT Twin Turbo L — and it states it in prose rather than a table cell: the hub bore is 60 mm.

We flag it because we have spent this series pointing out how often round default figures get attached to cars nobody measured. This one is the opposite case: the source is more precise than the aftermarket convention, and the tenth of a millimetre is not there.

Read from the Japanese factory wheel database. Dated section shown covers 1990.04–1991.05.

Everything Runs the Same Wheel

This is the finding that will surprise Soarer people. The flagship 3.0 GT Limited with the 7M-GTE — the car with the digital dash and the air suspension — sits on the same 6J×15 at +50 as the 2.0 VX. The 1G-GTE twin-turbo grades sit on it too.

The only factory distinction across the whole range is tyre width: 195/60R15 on the VX, 205/60R15 on the 2.0 GT, and 215/60R15 on both turbo grades and all the 3.0s.

So there is no “GT Limited wheel.” Any Z20 wheel fits any Z20, and a set from a base VX is mechanically identical to a set from the flagship.

Not Staggered

Worth stating because the Z20’s successor and several of its contemporaries are. Every Z20 grade is square — the same wheel and the same tyre front and rear. If you are buying a set of four, four is the right number.

We keep a running list of the Japanese cars where that is not true in our staggered fitment reference.

Sizing

+50 on a 6J rim is a tall, narrow, conservative factory setup, and the Z20 has arch room the factory never used. The common ground is 16×7.5J to 17×8J in the +25 to +40 range, which is where most period-correct builds sit.

The 60 mm bore is shared with the Chaser, the Aristo, the Z30 Soarer and essentially every large Toyota, so wheels move freely across the family. Do not accept a wheel bored 66 mm for a Nissan — it will bolt up and it will not be located.

Importing

The Z20 ran from 1986 to 1991 and is entirely past the 25-year mark. It was never sold in North America; the closest thing was the Supra, a different car. The 3.0 GT Limited is the grade people import, and the 1G-GTE twin-turbo is the one nobody outside Japan has heard of and everybody likes when they drive it.

What We Could Not Verify

  • The Z10 Soarer (1981–1986) entirely. It does not appear in the database in any form.
  • Pre-1990 Z20 grades. The database’s dated section for the Z20 covers 1990.04 to 1991.05 — the tail of a run that started in 1986 — so we cannot confirm whether earlier, pre-facelift grades match.
