Expert Buying Guide for 2012 Buick Verano
The 2012 Buick Verano uses a 5x115 bolt pattern with a 70.3mm center bore and 45mm offset.

Offset sensitivity is high; deviations beyond ±5mm may cause rubbing or clearance issues. Always verify lug nut thread pitch (12x1.5) and seat type (conical/60-degree) to avoid wheel loosening. For safety, re-torque lug nuts after 50-100 miles of driving.
