The 2005 Toyota Tundra bolt pattern is 6x5.5 or 6 on 5.5. This means that each of its wheels has six bolts forming a circle 5.5 inches in diameter. 
The Tundra pickup truck has been on the American market since 1999 and has been named MotorTrend magazine’s Truck of the Year twice. It’s known as a rugged, reliable truck with surprisingly affordable

and repair costs.
The 2005 model is a smooth and classy pickup that’s a nimble drive off-road but lacks the muscle for any serious towing action—though one did pull the Space Shuttle Endeavour across a bridge! It’s also made a splash in the world of motor racing, regularly winning the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
Whether you’re using your 2005 Tundra for pulling shuttles or NASCAR racing, at some point you may want to change up your wheels. You’ll need to know the bolt pattern to do this, and we’re here with all the details.

The pattern is determined by the number of bolts and how they line up. The bolt pattern for a 2005 Toyota Tundra is 6x5.5, which is sometimes written down as 6 on 5.5. This means your pickup has six bolts, each in a circle with a 5.5-inch diameter. It’s quite simple, isn’t it?
