Expert Buying Guide for 2012 GMC Savana 3500 Passenger
For your 2012 GMC Savana 3500 Passenger, the 8x180 bolt pattern is shared with 2011–2024 models. 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. Offset is sensitive—stock is 44mm; deviations beyond ±10mm may cause rubbing or clearance issues. Always use lug nuts with the correct thread pitch (14x1.5) and seat type (cone seat for steel wheels, ball seat for some alloys). Mixing seat types can lead to loose wheels. Re-torque after 50–100 miles.
