Expert Buying Guide for 2012 GMC Savana 3500 Cargo
For your 2012 GMC Savana 3500 Cargo, the 8x180 bolt pattern is used from 2011–2024, ensuring cross-compatibility with other Savana 3500 models in that range. The critical center bore is 124.9mm; aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore, requiring hub-centric rings to prevent vibration and ensure proper load distribution.
