Is It Worth Changing from A Five-Lug Pattern to Six-Lug Bolt Pattern?

Yes, and that is to be expected. With 6 sturdy bolts to bind the wheel and the hub together, the Chevy S10’s tire assembly is much stronger than before. Carrying heavy loads for long trips is a breeze for them.

Is Chevy S-10 Bolt Pattern The Same As Other Chevy Models?

Not all. Some models like Chevy Silverado and Tahoe do share the same 6 x 5.5 lug pattern with Chevy S10. But the difference is easy to recognize in others; examples are Chevy Spark (4 x 3.93), Camero (5 x 4.72) or Volt (5 x 4.13).

Conclusion

Updating the S10 lug pattern to 6-lug is one of the smartest decisions the Chevrolet team has ever made. Thanks to its impressive load capacity and stability, the car has been selling like hotcakes since then.
