I’m diving into some upgrades for my 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, and I want to make sure I’m choosing the right wheels. Can anyone confirm the lug pattern for this model? I’ve heard different things and just want to make sure I get it right before I invest in new rims.

Why It Matters

Understanding the lug pattern is crucial because:

  • It affects wheel compatibility.
  • Wrong lug patterns can lead to safety issues.
  • Ensuring proper fitment is essential for performance.

What I’ve Found So Far

From my research, it seems like the 2002 Tahoe typically has:

  • Lug Pattern: 6x5.5 (6 bolts in a circle of 5.5 inches)
  • This fits a lot of other Chevy models as well, which can open up more options if you’re looking for aftermarket wheels.

Any Recommendations?

If anyone has upgraded their wheels, I’d love your recommendations on good brands or specific models that fit well. Any advice on tire sizes that work best with these wheels would also be appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help!
