8x180 Bolt Pattern

8x180 means 8 lugs evenly spaced on a 180 mm circle, 8x7.09 in inches. Adjacent lugs sit 68.88 mm (2.71 in) apart center to center. It is the factory pattern on Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, GMC Sierra 2500HD and Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD.

PatternDifferenceVerdict
8x170 10 mm smaller Not interchangeable

Even a 0.7 mm mismatch (5x114.3 against 5x115) puts every lug off-center in its hole, so the lug seats carry the wheel on a sliver of contact and the wheel can loosen. The only accepted workaround for a small mismatch is wobble bolts on a hub-centric wheel, and only for the specific pair of patterns the bolts are made for. Everything else is a different pattern.

How to measure 8x180

With 8 holes every hole has one directly opposite it. Measure center to center across the circle and that number is the pitch circle diameter: 180 mm for 8x180. As a cross-check, two adjacent holes should be 68.88 mm apart (68.88 × 2.6131 = 180, rounded).

You will also see 8x180 written as 8x7.1 or 8x7.09. Put your own measurement into the bolt pattern calculator to match it to the nearest standard pattern.

Where 8x180 is used

8x180 appears on 6 vehicles from 2 makes in this list: Chevrolet accounts for 3 and GMC for 3. The earliest fitment here is the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD from 2011, and 4 of the 6 are still built with this pattern today.

What else has to match

A matching bolt pattern is the first of four checks, not the last. The wheel's center bore has to match the hub, or be bridged with a hub-centric ring, so the hub carries the wheel instead of the studs. The offset decides whether the tire clears the suspension and stays inside the fender; run the numbers in the wheel offset calculator before buying. And the lug seats must match the wheel: conical, ball or flat seats are not interchangeable even when the thread is. None of those values are fixed by 8x180 itself, so check them per vehicle.

Frequently asked questions

What is 8x180 in inches?

8x180 is 8x7.09 in inches: 8 lugs on a 7.09 inch circle (180 mm divided by 25.4). It is the same pattern in different units, but this one is almost always written in millimeters; the inch figure only shows up in conversion charts.

What cars have an 8x180 bolt pattern?

Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD (2011+), GMC Sierra 2500HD (2011+), Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD (2011+), GMC Sierra 3500HD (2011+), Chevrolet Suburban 2500 (2011-2013), GMC Yukon XL 2500 (2011-2013). Always confirm on your own vehicle: the pattern can change between generations, trims and markets.

Is 8x180 the same as 8x170?

No. 8x170 is 10 mm smaller in diameter. That is enough to seat every lug off-center, so the wheel is held by the lug hardware rather than by matching geometry and can work loose. Fit only wheels that are exactly 8x180, or hub-centric wheels with wobble bolts made for that specific mismatch.
