The bolt pattern for the 2008 GMC Sierra 2500HD is 8 X 180 mm. Ensuring that your tires are in excellent condition is crucial to avoid accidents. It's inevitable that you will encounter issues with this component at some point. Potential problems include cupping and feathering, as well as premature tire wear. The part may also become loose over time. Regularly check for holes, especially if you run over a nail. It's important to inspect tire pressure monthly. Eventually, you will need to replace this part. Consider changing your tires every 30,000 to 50,000 miles to maintain safety on the road.
I wish people would double-check before they post to avoid causing expensive errors for others. Up until 2011, the bolt pattern was 8 x 165.1 for sure, not 8 x 180.
Prior to 2011, the bolt pattern for GM 2500 trucks was either 8x6.5 or 8x165.1. However, starting in 2011, the bolt pattern was changed to 8x180 as they made significant structural enhancements to include larger components, reinforce the frame, and enhance towing capacity.
The 2008 GMC Sierra 2500HD truck has a wheel bolt pattern of 8 bolts with a spacing of 180mm.
Maria T. Nope, it isn't.
Absolutely not Maria, the bolt pattern is 165.1. I made an error in purchasing wheels from someone on Facebook who claimed they would fit my 2008 GMC 2500 diesel. However, they actually belonged to a 2015 Silverado 2500 with a different bolt pattern of 180mm. When I brought my truck to the tire shop, we realized they wouldn't fit due to the pattern mismatch. Fortunately, the seller gave me a full refund, showing he was honest. To avoid confusion, I want to clarify that my truck's bolt pattern is indeed 165.1mm.
In the year 2011, 8 times 165.1 occurred, and 8 times 180 happened afterwards.
