Why is matching the 70.3mm center bore important for the 2005 Impala?
The 70.3mm center bore ensures the wheel is perfectly centered on the hub. If the wheel is lug-centric instead of hub-centric, you may experience steering wheel vibration at highway speeds.

An offset of 44mm means the wheel's mounting surface is 44mm away from its centerline. Changing this value drastically can affect suspension geometry and wheel bearing wear on your Chevrolet.
