What is the Chevy Five Lug Bolt pattern?

For most Chevrolet vehicles, the standard five-lug bolt pattern is 5 on 4.75 inches (120.65 mm). However, some models use different patterns, notably the Corvette’s 5x110 mm, so always verify for your exact year and model.


Bolt pattern basics


A bolt pattern, or bolt circle diameter (PCD), is defined by two facts: the number of lug holes and the diameter of the circle that passes through the centers of those holes. In Chevrolet vehicles, five-lug configurations are common, but the circle diameter varies by model and generation. The 5x4.75" (120.65 mm) pattern is the most widely used for everyday Chevrolets, while the Corvette line uses a distinct 5x110 mm pattern.


Key definitions


Five lug holes on a 4.75-inch bolt circle (5x4.75") is the standard for most Chevrolet passenger cars, crossovers, and many light trucks. The Corvette family, however, uses a different standard, 5x110 mm, which differentiates it from the broader Chevy lineup.


Common Chevy five-lug patterns


The patterns below cover the configurations you’re most likely to encounter. The 5x4.75" pattern is the default for the majority of Chevrolet passenger cars and many crossovers, while the 5x110 mm pattern appears on Corvette and some GM performance models.



  • 5x4.75 inches (120.65 mm) — 5 lug holes on a 4.75" circle; standard for the majority of Chevrolet passenger cars, crossovers, and many light trucks.

  • 5x110 mm (5 on 4.33") — used by Chevrolet Corvette (C5–C7) and some GM performance models; not common on regular non-Corvette Chevrolets.


Note: Always confirm for your exact vehicle model and year, since some older or special-issue Chevrolets may differ.


How to verify your bolt pattern


To be certain you’re selecting compatible wheels, verify the bolt pattern using a reliable method. The steps below guide you through a quick check.



  • Inspect the wheel hub and lug pattern: count lug holes and measure the PCD.

  • Measure PCD accurately: measure from the center of one lug hole to the center of the opposite lug hole(s) to determine the circle diameter.

  • Check the center bore size and thread pitch: ensure the hub bore accommodates the vehicle and that lug nuts match the stud size and thread pitch.


Following these checks will help ensure wheel compatibility and proper fitment for safe driving.


Model-specific notes


Because Chevrolet uses multiple bolt patterns across generations, you may encounter patterns beyond 5x4.75" and 5x110 mm in rare cases. Always consult the owner's manual, the official GM parts database, or a dealership to confirm the exact specification for your vehicle.


Summary


The standard Chevrolet five-lug bolt pattern is 5x4.75" (120.65 mm) and covers the vast majority of Chevy passenger cars, crossovers, and many light trucks. The Corvette line stands out with a distinct 5x110 mm pattern. Always verify your exact model/year to ensure wheel compatibility, using manuals or dealer databases when in doubt.
