TORQUE IS OEM-VERIFIED; BOLT PATTERN IS NOT - that is why verified=false. I independently downloaded and text-extracted the 2021 and 2022 Tahoe/Suburban owner's manuals and read the torque row myself: 190 N-m / 140 lb-ft, identical in both (2021 printed p.399, 2022 printed p.403). GM publishes exactly ONE wheel-nut torque; there is no alloy-vs-steel and no spare-specific figure. NOT OEM-CONFIRMED: boltPattern (6x139.7 / 6x5.5), centerBore (78.1 mm) and threadPitch (M14x1.5) are aftermarket/industry-consensus values. I searched for them independently and found them in NO first-party GM document: the 2020, 2021 and 2022 Tahoe/Suburban owner's manuals; the 2021 "Full Size C/K Utilities" body builder manual; the 2020 "Full Size C/K LD Pickups" BBM (rev. 2022, GSA-updated 2024); the 2024 LD Snow Plow special-applications BBM; the 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024 Tahoe 9C1 PPV specification guides; the 2025 T1XX Incomplete Vehicle Document (IVD_2025_T1XX_87855327); and the 2022 Tahoe eBrochure - all text-searched for "bolt circle", "bolt pattern", "139.7", "6 x 5.5", "M14", "stud", "hub bore", "center bore" and "78.1" with zero relevant hits. GM's own storefronts accessories.chevrolet.com and parts.chevrolet.com both returned HTTP 403 to me as well, and media.chevrolet.com's press-kit pages 403 to automated fetching, so the one first-party channel that might carry a numeric bolt circle stays unreadable. Treat these three fields as candidates to be confirmed against the physical vehicle before use. OFFSET IS OEM-SOURCED: +26 mm (18x8.5) and +28 mm (20x9 and 22x9) are read directly from GM's own front and rear axle/tire data charts, printed pp. 26 and 28 of the body builder manual - not from a retailer. RPO CAUTION: XCM, QAE, XCI and XCG are TIRE RPOs (the BBM column is headed "Tire RPOs"); the wheel RPOs are PZX, RD4, NZU, RD2, SGF, RVA and RPT. Do not cross-reference a tire RPO against a wheel catalog. THE SPARE IS NOT A MATCHING WHEEL ON RETAIL TRUCKS: every retail 2022 Tahoe trim carries a 17 in. full-size spare mounted under the frame (eBrochure specifications page), while no retail road wheel is smaller than 18 in. Only the 9C1 PPV / 5W4 SSV fleet builds get a genuinely matching 20x9 steel spare. The 17 in. spare is useful indirect OEM evidence that a 17 in. wheel clears this vehicle's front brakes, but GM does not publish that spare's width or offset. CLEARANCE WARNINGS STRAIGHT FROM THE OWNER'S MANUAL: with 275/60R20 or 275/50R22 tires GM prohibits tire chains outright ("There is not enough clearance") and the removed flat tire will not fit in the under-body carrier and must be strapped inside the cargo area - both are real signals that the 20 in. all-terrain and 22 in. fitments are already close to the body/chassis envelope. GENERATION-ADJACENT: (1) the 4th-gen K2XX Tahoe does NOT use a different torque, at least for MY2020 - I checked the 2020 owner's manual directly and it publishes the same 190 N-m / 140 lb-ft (printed p.397); MY2015-2019 manuals are 404 on GM's repository so they are unchecked, not different. (2) MY2025+ is the facelifted T1 and is outside this row; re-verify against that year's manual. (3) 275/65R20 (tire RPO XCI) appears in GM's body builder axle/tire chart but in neither the owner's manual tire list nor the retail eBrochure, so it is likely a fleet or late-availability combination - kept because the source is OEM, but flagged. DOCUMENT AVAILABILITY: only MY2020, 2021 and 2022 Tahoe/Suburban owner's manuals still return HTTP 200 from chevrolet.com's owner-center repository; I probed seven different URL patterns for MY2023, MY2024 and MY2025 plus the contentdelivery.ext.gm.com and my.chevrolet.com hosts and every one returned 404. MY2023-2024 therefore rests on the unchanged 2021/2022 spec plus the MY2024 PPV fleet guide showing the wheel/tire hardware word-for-word identical to MY2022.
Chevrolet Tahoe bolt pattern — frequently asked
What is the Chevrolet Tahoe bolt pattern?
6x139.7, which is 6x5.5 in inches, on every Tahoe generation in our database (2021–2024).
Do all Tahoe model years have the same bolt pattern?
Yes, across 2021–2024: 6x139.7. Years outside 2021–2024 are not in our database and are not covered by this answer.
Is 6x139.7 the same as 6x5.5?
Yes. 6x139.7 is the metric notation and 6x5.5 the inch notation of the same bolt pattern (139.7 mm ÷ 25.4).
Will 6x135 (6x5.31) wheels fit a Tahoe?
No. The Tahoe is 6x139.7; 6x135 is 4.7 mm smaller and not interchangeable.
Which other vehicles use the same 6x139.7 bolt pattern as the Tahoe?
In our database: Ram 1500, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Toyota Tundra, Toyota Tacoma, Toyota 4Runner, Ford Bronco, Ford Ranger, GMC Sierra 1500, Toyota Sequoia, Chevrolet Colorado, Nissan Titan. Same pattern is not the same wheel — center bore and stud thread still have to match; see the 6x139.7 pattern page.
What is the lug nut torque for a Chevrolet Tahoe?
2021-2024: 140 lb-ft. Use a torque wrench and the manufacturer figure for your exact year; aftermarket wheels may specify their own.
