The typical lug nut size for most Chevrolet Silverado/Sierra 2500HD models is 9/16-18 with a 60-degree conical (cone) seat for factory eight-lug wheels. Some years or aftermarket wheels may use different sizes, so it’s important to verify your specific setup.

The following details cover the standard size you’re most likely to encounter on Silverado/Sierra 2500HD trucks with factory wheels.



  • Thread size: 9/16-18 UNF

Variations and how to verify for your vehicle


Because certain years, trims, or aftermarket wheel installs can require different lug nuts, use these steps to confirm the correct size for your car.



  1. Consult the owner's manual or the factory service information for your exact model year and wheel setup.

  2. Inspect the lug nuts themselves for stamped size information (for example, 9/16-18).

  3. Measure the stud diameter and thread pitch with calipers or a thread gauge if markings aren’t legible.

  4. Contact the wheel manufacturer or a trusted parts retailer with your vehicle year, model, and wheel part number to verify compatibility.


Having the correct lug nut size ensures proper fitting and safe installation. If in doubt, seek guidance from a dealer or professional technician.


Summary


For most Chevy Silverado 2500HD trucks, the standard lug nuts are 9/16-18 with a 60-degree conical seat on eight-lug wheels. Always verify your specific year, trim, and any aftermarket wheels, as exceptions can exist. When in doubt, refer to official manuals or wheel manufacturers for verification.
