Fitting wheels on a GMC Safari

A GMC Safari (1985–2002) uses a 5x127 or 6x139.7 PCD and a centre bore of 78.1 mm. Any wheel must match the vehicle's PCD exactly: there is no tolerance, unless you use a PCD adapter.

PCD: 5x127 or 6x139.7 required. See all vehicles with 5x127.
Centre bore: the wheel must have a centre bore of 78.1 mm or more. If it is larger (as with most aftermarket wheels), add a hub centric ring wheel centre bore → 78.1 mm.
Offset: the original is ET8 to ET31. Compare your future wheel with the offset calculator (your vehicle is already selected) to see how many millimetres further in or out it will sit.
Fixings: thread -. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.
