What is the bolt pattern on a 2010 Camaro?
The 2010 Camaro uses a 5-lug on a 4.75-inch bolt circle (5x4.75 in / 120.65 mm). This pattern governs wheel compatibility and is shared by several GM models from the era.
This article explains what that means for wheel fitment, how to verify it on your vehicle, and what to consider when shopping for replacement wheels, tires, or spacers.
Understanding the 5x4.75 pattern
The bolt pattern describes how many lug holes a wheel has and the diameter of the circle those holes form. For the 2010 Camaro, there are five lug holes arranged on a circle 4.75 inches (120.65 mm) in diameter. This 5x4.75 pattern is standard for this generation and is not interchangeable with other common GM patterns such as 5x114.3 or 5x120.0.
Compatibility notes
Wheels in this pattern can be swapped among compatible GM vehicles of the era, but always verify the center bore, offset, and brake clearance for each specific wheel model. Aftermarket wheels marketed for 5x120.65 may fit, but some designs require hub-centric rings or caliper relief to avoid rubbing.
Before choosing wheels, consider both the bolt pattern and the fitment details to ensure safe operation and proper alignment.
When selecting wheels, use this compatibility checklist to confirm the new wheels will fit the 2010 Camaro's bolt pattern and mechanical clearances.
- Pattern match: 5-lug with a 4.75-inch bolt circle (5x4.75 in / 120.65 mm).
- Center bore: wheel bore size must accommodate the hub, or use hub-centric rings.
- Lug hardware and seat type: ensure lug nuts or bolts match the wheel’s seat type and thread pitch.
- Brake caliper clearance: verify the wheel clears the brake calipers and rotor hats at full lock and during compression.
- Offset and backspacing: ensure the wheel offset keeps tires away from suspension, struts, fenders, and calipers.
By confirming these factors, you reduce the risk of fitment problems and ensure safe, reliable wheel performance on the Camaro.
Practical steps to verify fit
To check fit on your car in practice, follow these steps in order:
- Confirm the vehicle's bolt pattern: count five lug holes and measure the diameter across the holes (4.75 inches / 120.65 mm).
- Check the hub bore: measure the center hole of the wheel and the hub on the car; use hub-centric rings if the wheel bore is larger than the hub.
- Assess brake and caliper clearance: ensure the wheel barrel has enough clearance for the calipers at all steering positions.
- Validate offset and backspacing: compare to factory spec or wheel manufacturer recommendations to prevent rubbing and maintain alignment.
- Test fit and torque: have a professional mount a wheel with the correct lug nuts and torque to spec, then road test.
Following these steps minimizes the risk of fit problems when upgrading wheels on a 2010 Camaro.
Summary
The 2010 Camaro uses a five-lug pattern on a 4.75-inch bolt circle (5x4.75 in / 120.65 mm). When shopping for wheels, verify pattern, hub bore, offset, and caliper clearance, and consider hub-centric rings if needed. If in doubt, consult a wheel and tire professional to ensure proper fit and safe operation.
