2016 Chevrolet Silverado bolt pattern

Like most Silverados, the 2016 model year has a

bolt pattern

of 6x5.5 or 6.5 on 5. Here’s what these numbers represents:

# of bolts x diameter of the circle they form

A 6x5.5 bolt pattern indicates that your Silverado has five lugs organized in a 5.5-inch diameter circle on your wheels. Including your lug pattern, you’ll also want to keep the following measurements on hand when getting new wheels:

Factory wheel size: 17” to 18”

Stud size: M14 x 1.5

Offset: -44 to 40 mm

Center bore: 78.1 mm

Wheel tightening torque: 190 Nm

How to measure your Chevrolet Silverado’s bolt pattern

To double check your bolt pattern, you can easily measure your Silverado’s bolt pattern yourself using a measuring tape or ruler. Simply choose a bolt on your wheel and measure from the outer edge of the lug hole to the center of the bolt across from it. Since your Silverado has six bolts, you can measure straight across from one bolt to the other.

The measurement between your two bolts is the diameter, which pairs with the number of bolts on your wheel to make your bolt pattern.

Now that you know your bolt pattern, wheel size, stud size, wheel offset, center bore, and wheel tightening

torque

, you can go ahead and choose a set of wheels that perfectly fits your 2016 Chevrolet Silverado.
