I independently re-derived every number here from Tesla's own 2025+ owner's manual in a live browser (tesla.com 403s curl and WebFetch) and found the prior researcher's figures exact — torque, all six wheel rows, all tire rows. Nothing was invented. OEM-CONFIRMED: lug torque 129 lb-ft / 175 Nm, 21 mm lug-nut socket, every wheel width and offset, every factory tire size with load/speed index; 19" and 21" dimensions independently re-confirmed on Tesla's own store. NOT OEM-CONFIRMED (this is why verified=false): the 114.3 mm bolt circle, centerBore 64.1 mm and threadPitch M14x1.5 are aftermarket-consensus candidates. I searched for them myself and they are absent from every Tesla source I could reach. PARTIAL WIN ON BOLT PATTERN: the 5-lug count IS OEM-stated — Tesla's own service procedure says "tighten the lug nuts (x5)" — so the "5" in 5x114.3 is confirmed and only the 114.3 mm circle diameter is not. Tesla's stated 21 mm socket size is consistent with M14x1.5 hardware but does not prove it. parts.tesla.com is browsable at the landing page but its part search redirects to auth.tesla.com sign-in; I did not create an account, so the parts catalog remains unreachable. CORRECTION I MADE TO THE PRIOR RECORD: it asserted specific marketing-name-to-dimension mappings the manual never makes — the manual keys its table by diameter and by "(Six Seats)"/"(Performance)", never by wheel name. Two of those mappings were actively risky: "Machina 2.0" ($WY19L) was assigned the square 19x9.5J ET45 row and "Uberhelix" ($WY20L) the square 20x9.5J ET45 row, when the "L" suffix plausibly denotes Model Y L — whose rows are STAGGERED (rear 19x10J ET51 / 20x10.5J ET56.5). Quoting a square figure off a marketing name is exactly the failure mode that puts the wrong rear wheel on a Model Y L, so I rewrote oemWheel to key on the manual's own row labels and kept a name attached only where Tesla itself ties name to dimension (Crossflow, Arachnid). I also dropped the configurator-payload source, which only supported those mappings. CONFIDENCE LOWERED TO MEDIUM (prior record said high): there is exactly ONE Tesla document for this generation — service.tesla.com publishes no 2025+ Model Y service manual (its own feedback link is titled "2020-2024 Model Y Service Manual") — so torque has no second-document corroboration; the lineup is still gaining variants mid-generation (the 18" Standard and the Model Y L both arrived after launch); and the name-to-row mapping is unresolved. GOTCHAS: (1) The 18" wheel is 8.5J at ET35.5 — ~9.5 mm less offset and 1 inch narrower than every other Model Y wheel; NOT offset-interchangeable with the 19"/20" ET45 wheels. (2) The 21" Performance rear offset is ET52 here but ET48 on the 2020-2024 Uberturbine — rear Performance wheels do NOT cross-fit between generations. (3) The "Six Seats" rows are the long-wheelbase Model Y L and are staggered; never quote a Model Y L owner the square 9.5J/ET45 figure. (4) Tesla specifies ONE torque for all wheels; no steel spare and no separate spare torque — Model Y ships with a tire repair kit. (5) Tesla's procedure: break loose with hand tools only, 6-point socket (never 12-point or a specialty socket), criss-cross star pattern, final torque with the vehicle on the ground.

| Lug torque | 129 lb-ft |

I independently re-read the OEM manual and both service-manual pages myself in a live browser and confirm every figure the prior researcher reported — no invented numbers. OEM-CONFIRMED: lug torque 129 lb-ft / 175 Nm, stated in THREE separate Tesla documents I opened personally (owner's-manual spec table; service-manual Technical Data > Wheels; service-manual "Wheel Assembly (Remove and Install)" at "175 Nm (129.1 lbs-ft)"). Wheel widths, offsets and factory tire sizes confirmed twice (owner's manual + service manual). NOT OEM-CONFIRMED (this is why verified=false, per this project's rule that boltPattern must be OEM-backed): the 114.3 mm bolt circle, centerBore 64.1 mm and threadPitch M14x1.5. I did my own hunt rather than accepting the prior conclusion: I ran the service manual's own full-text search for "114.3", "bolt pattern", "wheel stud" and "lug nut" — "114.3" returns nothing wheel-related anywhere in the manual, and the only lug-nut hits are the torque figure. Tesla's wheel tables carry diameter, width and offset only. parts.tesla.com's part search redirects to auth.tesla.com sign-in and I did not create an account, so the parts catalog (which would carry the stud thread) stays out of reach. PARTIAL WIN THE PRIOR PASS MISSED: the 5-lug count IS an OEM fact — the service procedure reads "tighten the lug nuts (x5)" — so only the 114.3 mm circle diameter is unverified, not the whole pattern. The OEM-stated 21 mm socket is consistent with M14x1.5 lug hardware but is not proof of it. Verify bolt circle, bore and thread against the door jamb or the vehicle itself before relying on them. NO GENERATION SPLIT NEEDED: I checked for a mid-cycle change and found none — one torque figure and one wheel table cover 2020 through 2024, including the 4680/structural-pack cars. GOTCHAS: (1) "Gemini" is the aero COVER, not the wheel — the underlying 19" wheel is Tesla's Apollo/Apollo Dark; Tesla's own store still sells the set as "Gemini wheels", so both names mean the same 19x9.5J ET45 wheel. (2) The 21" Uberturbine Performance fitment is STAGGERED: front 21x9.5J ET40 with 255/35R21, rear 21x10.5J ET48 with 275/35R21 — a square set or a rear wheel up front is not factory spec. (3) The 21" rear is ET48 here but ET52 on the 2025+ Arachnid 2.0 — the two generations are NOT cross-compatible at the rear. (4) One torque for all wheels; no steel spare and no separate spare torque — Model Y ships with a tire repair kit. (5) Tesla's procedure: break loose with hand tools only, 6-point socket (never 12-point or a specialty socket), snug in a criss-cross star pattern with the vehicle raised, then final-torque to 175 Nm in the same pattern with the vehicle on the ground.
Tesla Model Y bolt pattern — frequently asked
What is the Tesla Model Y bolt pattern?
5x114.3, which is 5x4.5 in inches, on every Model Y generation in our database (2020–2026).
Do all Model Y model years have the same bolt pattern?
Yes, across 2020–2026: 5x114.3. Years outside 2020–2026 are not in our database and are not covered by this answer.
Is 5x114.3 the same as 5x4.5?
Yes. 5x114.3 is the metric notation and 5x4.5 the inch notation of the same bolt pattern (114.3 mm ÷ 25.4).
Will 5x115 (5x4.53) wheels fit a Model Y?
No. The Model Y is 5x114.3; 5x115 is 0.7 mm larger and not interchangeable — the two are so close a tape measure cannot tell them apart, which is exactly why they get mixed up.
Will 5x112 (5x4.41) wheels fit a Model Y?
No. The Model Y is 5x114.3; 5x112 is 2.3 mm smaller and not interchangeable.
Will 5x110 (5x4.33) wheels fit a Model Y?
No. The Model Y is 5x114.3; 5x110 is 4.3 mm smaller and not interchangeable.
Will 5x120 (5x4.72) wheels fit a Model Y?
No. The Model Y is 5x114.3; 5x120 is 5.7 mm larger and not interchangeable.
Which other vehicles use the same 5x114.3 bolt pattern as the Model Y?
In our database: Ford Mustang, Honda Accord, Ford Explorer, Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, Toyota Camry, Toyota RAV4, Toyota Highlander, Tesla Model 3, Subaru Outback, Subaru Forester, Nissan Altima. Same pattern is not the same wheel — center bore and stud thread still have to match; see the 5x114.3 pattern page.
What is the lug nut torque for a Tesla Model Y?
2025-2026: 129 lb-ft; 2020-2024: 129 lb-ft. Use a torque wrench and the manufacturer figure for your exact year; aftermarket wheels may specify their own.
