* Multiple Wheel Options: Chevy Express vans came with various wheel and tire sizes depending on trim level, model year, and options. Each wheel size has a specific bolt pattern.
* Aftermarket Wheels: Your van might have aftermarket wheels installed, which would have their own bolt pattern.
How to Find Your Bolt Pattern:
1. Check the Wheel: Look at the inside of the wheel (on the face of the wheel) for a stamped number. This is usually the bolt pattern. It will look something like this: 5x120.5 (meaning 5 lugs, 120.5mm circle diameter).
2. Owner's Manual: Your owner's manual should list the original wheel specifications, including the bolt pattern.
3. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN): A mechanic or parts store can access your vehicle's specifications using your VIN.
4. Online Resources: Several online resources like Tire Rack or wheel manufacturer websites can help you find bolt pattern information for your specific year, make, and model.
Important: Always confirm the bolt pattern before purchasing new wheels or tires to ensure they are compatible with your van. Using the wrong bolt pattern can lead to serious safety hazards.
