We’ve written extensively about Chevy and the numerous questions you can have about this brand. Today, we will talk about the information you need to have to select the correct new tires or rims for any Chevy. Specifically, we’ll look at the bolt pattern of each model and generation. Let’s start with a quick answer:
Chevy has used many different bolt patterns throughout the last decade, ranging from 4×3.93 inches for the Chevy Spark to 8×6.5 inches for the Chevy Express and Silverado 2500HD.
However, that certainly doesn’t tell the whole story. Below we’ve outlined the bolt pattern in more detail for each generation. We also discuss what lugs/bolts are used precisely, the center bore hub’s diameter and the bolts’ torque specifications. Finally, we also have information about each engine type and its exact tire and rim size. You should know precisely what you can and cannot buy this way. Read on!
