Expert Buying Guide for 1997 Chevrolet G-Series 1500
For the 1997 Chevrolet G-Series 1500, the correct bolt pattern is 6x139.7mm with a center bore of 78.1mm. When selecting aftermarket wheels, ensure they have a center bore of at least 78.1mm; if larger, use hub-centric rings to prevent vibrations and ensure proper load distribution.

- ⚠️ This fitment uses a wide offset range. Check brake clearance and fender clearance before buying wheels.
- ⚠️ Torque lugs in a star pattern to 100 ft-lbs (135 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).
