1997 Oldsmobile LSS — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bolt pattern for a 1997 Oldsmobile LSS?
The 1997 Oldsmobile LSS uses a 5x115 bolt pattern (also called lug pattern or PCD). The center bore is 70.3mm and the offset is 47mm.
What other years of Oldsmobile LSS have the same bolt pattern as the 1997?
The Oldsmobile LSS uses the 5x115 pattern from 1997 through 1999. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 1997, provided the offset and center bore also match.
How do I measure the bolt pattern on my 1997 Oldsmobile?
The 1997 LSS uses a 5x115 pattern. For 4, 6, or 8-lug wheels, measure center-to-center across opposite holes. For 5-lug, measure from the center of one hole to the back of the opposite hole.
Why is matching the 70.3mm center bore important for the 1997 LSS?
The 70.3mm center bore ensures the wheel is perfectly centered on the hub. If the wheel is lug-centric instead of hub-centric, you may experience steering wheel vibration at highway speeds.
Will wheels from another Oldsmobile fit my 1997 LSS?
Only if they share the exact same 5x115 bolt pattern, a compatible offset, and a center bore equal to or larger than 70.3mm.
What is the PCD for a 1997 Oldsmobile LSS?
PCD stands for Pitch Circle Diameter, which is the same as the bolt pattern. For the 1997 LSS, the PCD is 5x115.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy Wheels
- Verify thread pitch before installation; M12x1.25 and M12x1.5 are not interchangeable.
- Torque lugs in a star pattern to 80 ft-lbs (108 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).
