What is the lug pattern for a Chevy Camaro?
The Camaro uses a 5-lug bolt pattern on a 4.75-inch diameter circle (120.65 mm). This has been the standard across virtually all model years, making wheels labeled as 5x4.75 or 5x120.65 compatible with most Camaros. Below is a detailed guide to the lug pattern by generation and practical notes for buyers and owners.
Lug pattern overview by generation
Camaro wheel fitment has relied on a 5-lug pattern. The bolt circle is 4.75 inches in diameter, expressed as 5x4.75 in or 5x120.65 mm. The following generations use that pattern.
Pattern consistency across generations
Across the Camaro's history, the basic lug pattern has remained 5 lug on a 4.75-inch circle, ensuring broad compatibility with many aftermarket and stock wheels. Specific center bore and brake-clearance can vary by year.
- 1967–1969 (First generation): 5 x 4.75 in (120.65 mm)
- 1970–1981 (Second generation): 5 x 4.75 in (120.65 mm)
- 1982–1992 (Third generation): 5 x 4.75 in (120.65 mm)
- 1993–2002 (Fourth generation): 5 x 4.75 in (120.65 mm)
- 2010–present (Fifth and Sixth generations): 5 x 4.75 in (120.65 mm)
Note: The bolt pattern dimension is consistent across these generations, but hub bore size and brake hardware can vary. Always verify fit for your exact model year when swapping wheels.
Practical considerations when replacing wheels
Before you replace wheels, consider compatibility details beyond the bolt pattern. The following checklist helps ensure the new wheels will fit without rubbing or alignment issues.
- Confirm the lug pattern is 5x4.75 inches (120.65 mm) for your specific Camaro year and trim.
- Check the hub bore size and whether hub-centric rings are needed for proper centering.
- Verify lug nut size and seat type, which can vary with aftermarket wheels.
- Ensure adequate brake clearance for calipers and rotor diameter with the chosen wheel width and offset.
- Match wheel offset and width to maintain proper track, suspension geometry, and tire fitment.
Wheels that match the Camaro's 5x4.75 inch pattern will fit, provided hub bore, offset, and clearance considerations are addressed during installation.
Summary
The Chevy Camaro’s lug pattern is a 5-lug arrangement on a 4.75-inch bolt circle (120.65 mm), a standard that spans its generations. When shopping for wheels, confirm the bolt pattern and also check hub bore, offset, and brake clearance specific to your model year to ensure a proper fit.
