2001 Chevy S10 bolt pattern

When it comes to Chevy bolt patterns, one shoe does not fit all, so it’s important to know your vehicle’s specific measurements. The bolt pattern of a 2001 Chevy S10 is 5x4.75, or 5 on 4.75. If you’re new to the world of bolt patterns, here’s how those numbers are expressed:

# of bolts x diameter of the circle they form

In other words, a 5x4.75 lug pattern means that your Chevy’s wheels each have five lugs arranged in a circle 4.75 inches in diameter.

Keep in mind that your bolt pattern isn’t the only wheel measurement you’ll need to know. Whether you’re replacing, upgrading, or preparing for the worst, you should also know your Chevy’s stud size, wheel offset, center bore measurement, and, of course, torque specifications:

Factory wheel size: 15” to 16”

Stud size: M12x1.5

Offset: 13 to 50 mm

Center bore:70.3 mm

Wheel tightening torque: 129 Nm

How to measure your 2001 Chevy S10’s bolt pattern

While having the measurements laid out for you is certainly helpful, it never hurts to learn how to measure your wheels yourself.

To find your lug pattern, all you’ll need is a measuring tape or ruler. Choose a bolt and measure from the outer edge of the lug hole to the center of the opposite bolt to find your diameter. To find your bolt number, simply count the number of bolts on each wheel.

Input your numbers into the expression above, and you’ve found your bolt pattern!
