What is the bolt pattern on a 2011 Chevy?

Most 2011 Chevrolet vehicles use one of two common bolt patterns: 5 lug with a 4.75-inch diameter (5x120.65 mm) for most passenger cars, and 6 lug with a 5.5-inch diameter (6x139.7 mm) for trucks and large sport utility vehicles. Exact pattern depends on model and trim, so always verify for your specific vehicle.


Common bolt-pattern families in the 2011 lineup


These two patterns cover the vast majority of 2011 Chevrolets, from cars to full-size trucks. Use this as a quick guide, but confirm with the vehicle's documentation or VIN-backed spec sheet before buying wheels.



  • 5x4.75 inches (5x120.65 mm): used on many passenger cars and performance models within the GM lineup of that year.

  • 6x5.5 inches (6x139.7 mm): used on full-size trucks and large SUVs such as the Silverado 1500, Tahoe, and Suburban platforms.


Some 2011 Chevrolets may have alternative patterns due to specific trims, regional markets, or special editions. Always confirm the exact bolt circle, center bore, and offset before purchasing wheels.


How to confirm your exact bolt pattern


To ensure you have the right specification for your vehicle, use one of these methods:



  1. Check the driver's door jamb information placard or the owner's manual for the wheel bolt pattern.

  2. Measure the bolt circle directly: count the lug studs and measure the diameter across opposite lug holes in millimeters or inches.

  3. Consult GM's official parts catalog or contact a dealership with your VIN to pull the exact specification for your exact model and trim.


With the correct bolt pattern confirmed, verify center bore diameter and offset to ensure proper fit and clearance when selecting wheels.


Common cautions


Different model years or market configurations can shift patterns even within the same model line. If you are replacing wheels, ensure compatibility by verifying all three dimensions: bolt pattern, center bore, and offset.


Summary


The bolt pattern on a 2011 Chevy is not universal. The practical takeaway is that most 2011 Chevys use either 5x120.65 mm (5x4.75 inches) or 6x139.7 mm (6x5.5 inches), with exceptions for certain models. Always verify using official documentation or VIN lookup for your exact vehicle.
