Expert Buying Guide for 2002 GMC Savana 2500 Passenger
For your 2002 GMC Savana 2500 Passenger, the bolt pattern is 8x165.1 with a critical center bore of 116.7mm. Aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore, so hub-centric rings are mandatory to prevent vibration and ensure load is on the hub, not the lugs. Offset is sensitive; the factory spec is 28mm, and staying within ±5mm is recommended to avoid rubbing or suspension interference. Always use the correct lug nuts: 14x1.5 thread pitch with a cone or ball seat—never use acorn or shank-style nuts. Improper seating can cause wheel loss. Wheels from 1996–2010 Savana 2500 models are direct fit, but verify offset and bore.
