Expert Buying Guide for 2006 GMC Savana 2500 Passenger
For your 2006 GMC Savana 2500 Passenger, the 8x165.1 bolt pattern is shared with 1996–2010 models, but the center bore is critical: 116.7mm. Aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore (e.g., 130mm), requiring hub-centric rings to prevent vibration and ensure proper load transfer. The factory offset is 28mm; deviations beyond ±5mm may cause rubbing or clearance issues. Always use 14x1.5 lug nuts with the correct seat—factory wheels use a cone seat, while aftermarket may require ball or acorn seats. Never mix seat types; improper torque can lead to wheel loss. Re-torque after 50–100 miles.
