2001 Chevrolet 2500 bolt pattern

If you want to know the bolt pattern for the 2001 Chevy 2500, you’ve come to the right place! The numbers you need are 8x6.5. In case you need a refresher on what those numbers mean, check out this formula: 
# of bolts x diameter of the circle they form
So, a bolt pattern of 8x6.5 means that you’ll have eight bolts in a circle with a diameter of 6.5 inches. Easy, right?
To make your tire change even easier, here are the other measurements you’ll need to switch out your wheels: 
  • Factory wheel size: 16” 
  • Stud size: M14 x 1.5
  • Offset: 20 mm 
  • Center bore: 124.1 mm
  • Wheel tightening torque: 190 Nm
Note that these measurements are for the factory tires that the 2001 Chevy came with. If the wheels have been modded, upgraded, or changed since then, you may have to look up the specific tire to get an accurate set of measurements.

How to measure your 2001 Chevrolet 2500’s bolt pattern

You should be all set to change out your tires! But if you want to make extra sure you have the right measurements, we won’t blame you for wanting to check them yourself! With a measuring tape or a ruler, measure the distance between two bolts directly across from each other—that will give you the second number in your bolt pattern.
To find the first number, simply count the number of bolts in one wheel. If you end up with 8x6.5, you’re all set! But if there’s a discrepancy, check with your tire shop—it’s possible that the tires have been changed during your 2001 Chevy’s long run.
