Expert Buying Guide for 2009 GMC Savana 2500 Cargo
For your 2009 GMC Savana 2500 Cargo, the bolt pattern is 8x165.1mm with a critical center bore of 116.7mm. Aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore, so hub-centric rings (116.7mm ID to wheel's bore) are mandatory to prevent vibration and hub damage. The offset is sensitive: stock is around 28mm. Sticking within ±10mm ensures proper clearance and load distribution. Always use the correct lug nuts: 14x1.5 thread pitch with a cone or ball seat matching your wheel. Never use incorrect seat types—this can cause wheel loosening. Re-torque after 50-100 miles. Wheels from 1996-2010 Savana 2500 are direct fit; avoid 8x180 pattern wheels from later models.
