Bolt pattern
8x180 bolt pattern — what trucks fit it
8 studs on a 180 mm circle, also written 8x7.09". 4 pickup models on record use it — here they are, grouped by hub bore so you can see what genuinely interchanges.
Trucks running 8x180
Grouped by hub bore. Trucks inside the same group share both the pattern and the centre bore, which is the combination that makes a factory wheel swap straight over. Across groups you need centring rings, and you still have to check offset and brake clearance.

A wheel bolting on is not the same as a wheel fitting. Before you buy a used set, confirm four things: the bore clears the hub, the offset keeps the tire out of the fender and the suspension, the spokes clear the brake calipers, and the load rating covers your axle weight.
Other 8-lug patterns — don't mix them up
Same stud count, different circle. These are close enough that a wheel can look right on the shelf and start on two studs before it binds — which is exactly how studs get damaged.
8x180 — frequently asked
What trucks have a 8x180 bolt pattern?
On record, 4 pickup models use the 8x180 pattern: Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD (2011–2026), Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD (2011–2026), GMC Sierra 2500HD (2011–2026), GMC Sierra 3500HD (2011–2026). Sharing a pattern means a wheel will bolt onto the studs — it does not guarantee the wheel clears the brakes or sits at the right offset.
What does 8x180 mean?
It describes the circle the wheel studs sit on. The 8 is the number of studs; the 180 is the diameter of that circle in millimetres, which is 7.09 inches, so the same pattern is often advertised as 8x7.09". Both numbers have to match your hub exactly.
Is 8x180 the same as 8x7.09"?
Yes. 8x7.09" is the same pattern written in inches instead of millimetres — they describe an identical hub, and a wheel listed either way will fit. Manufacturers pick whichever unit suits their market, which is why you see both on the same shelf.
Will a 8x180 wheel fit any truck with that pattern?
No — the pattern is only the first of four checks. The hub bore has to be at least as large as the truck's hub (and ideally exactly equal, or fitted with centring rings). The offset has to keep the tire clear of the fender and the suspension. The brake calipers have to clear the spokes. And the wheel's load rating has to cover your axle weight, which matters far more on a truck that tows than on a car.
Can I convert my truck to a 8x180 pattern?
Only with wheel adapters, and they come with trade-offs: they push the wheel outward by their own thickness, add a second set of fasteners you have to torque and re-inspect, and move the wheel load further out on the hub bearing. For a truck that tows or hauls, buying wheels in the correct pattern is always the better answer.
How do I check my truck really has a 8x180 pattern?
With an even number of studs, measure centre to centre between two studs directly opposite each other — that distance is the bolt circle. Do it on the hub, not on the wheel, and remember a previous owner may have fitted adapters.
