| Center bore | 74.5 mm |
| Thread size | M14 x 1.5 |
| Factory rim size | 18 x 7.5 in |
| Offset | ET 50 mm |

If any value above is missing from your wheel label or differs on your vehicle, use the calculator below to compare what you have to OEM, then confirm with an OEM source before purchase.
How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator
Our calculator lets you compare a donor wheel and tire to your Enclave to predict inner clearance, outer poke, and diameter changes. It supports custom wheel and tire sizes so you can test options before you buy.
- Set Installed on - choose 2020 Buick Enclave to load the OEM baseline listed above.
- Use Wheels from - pick the donor vehicle if known. If not, select Custom wheel size and enter rim diameter, width, and offset from the wheel stamp or spec sheet.
- Enter Custom tire size - input section width and aspect ratio. Changing rim diameter also updates calculated tire diameter in the comparison.
- Review results - check inner clearance change at the strut and brake, outer position relative to the fender, and overall tire diameter difference. Aim to keep diameter change small to minimize speedometer error and avoid rubbing.
- If you are unsure of a donor wheel’s offset or width, look for markings cast or stamped on the back of the wheel, or contact the wheel maker or OEM parts desk.
- Always verify brake caliper clearance on the vehicle. Use a straightedge across the hub face and measure to the nearest caliper point to compare with backspacing and spoke design.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy
- Bolt pattern - wheel must be 6x120. Do not attempt 6x114.3 or 6x139.7.
- Center bore - vehicle is 74.5 mm. Aftermarket wheels with a larger bore require hub-centric rings sized to 74.5 mm inner. Wheels with a smaller bore will not fit.
- Thread and seat type - studs are M14 x 1.5. Match the lug seat style to the wheel design per the wheel manufacturer. Do not mix conical, ball, or mag seats.
- Offset and backspacing - use the calculator to keep inner clearance safe for struts and brake lines and to avoid outer fender poke. The OEM reference is 18x7.5 ET50 with 5.72 in backspacing.
- Brake and suspension clearance - confirm spoke and barrel clearance over calipers and knuckles. Some designs with aggressive concavity may reduce caliper clearance even at the same offset.
- Load rating - wheel and tire load ratings must meet or exceed the vehicle’s GAWR values on the door label. Do not downrate.
- Tire diameter - keep overall diameter change small to limit speedometer error and maintain ABS and stability system performance. Use the calculator to compare.
- TPMS - plan to transfer or replace sensors and perform a relearn after installation.
- Spacers/adapters - only if necessary, hub-centric to 74.5 mm and long enough studs or proper bolt-through hardware. Recalculate offset if used. Re-torque carefully.
- Hardware length - ensure sufficient thread engagement for M14 studs. Do not use open-ended nuts unless specified.
Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades
The Enclave commonly accepts larger diameter wheels when tire sidewall is reduced to keep overall diameter close to stock. Because trims and brake packages can vary, confirm clearances with the calculator and a physical test fit.
- Plus sizing basics - as rim diameter goes up, choose a tire with a lower aspect ratio so the overall tire diameter remains similar to 255/65R18. The calculator shows the diameter change in real time.
- Width changes - increasing wheel width pushes inner and outer edges. Use offset adjustments and the calculator to maintain inner clearance and avoid fender contact.
- Ride and handling - lower profile tires improve steering response but may ride firmer and increase impact risk on rough roads. Consider local conditions and load requirements.
- Winter setups - downsizing to a narrower winter tire can improve snow traction. Match bolt pattern and center bore and confirm brake clearance if using smaller wheels.
Because available sizes and offsets differ by brand and design, verify any new size against the OEM values provided here and confirm with an OEM source if unsure.
Installation Tips
- Support the vehicle with jack stands on solid ground. Never rely on a jack alone.
- Clean the hub face and wheel mounting pad. Remove rust and debris to ensure proper seating and minimize runout.
- If the wheel bore is larger than 74.5 mm, install correct hub-centric rings to center the wheel.
- Hand start all lug nuts and snug in a star pattern. Do not use an impact to start threads.
- Final torque - tighten lugs in a star pattern to the torque listed in your owner manual. Recheck torque after 50 to 100 miles.
- TPMS - transfer sensors with new seals or install new, compatible sensors. Perform the GM relearn procedure after installation.

FAQs
-
What is the bolt pattern on the 2020 Buick Enclave?
6x120.
-
What are the factory wheel and tire sizes?
At least one OEM configuration is 18x7.5 ET50 with 255/65R18 tires. Other trims may differ. Check your door-jamb label and current wheel stamps, then use the calculator to compare against this baseline.
-
What is the center bore and thread size?
Center bore is 74.5 mm and the lug thread is M14 x 1.5.
-
Can I use a wheel with a different center bore?
If the wheel bore is larger than 74.5 mm, use hub-centric rings sized to 74.5 mm inner. If the wheel bore is smaller than 74.5 mm, it will not fit.
-
Will 6x139.7 or 6x114.3 wheels fit?
No. The Enclave requires 6x120. Do not attempt to force a different PCD.
-
How much can I change offset or width?
This varies by wheel design and brake package. Use the calculator to see inner and outer clearance changes relative to the OEM 18x7.5 ET50, then test fit. Avoid inner contact with suspension and outer fender interference.
-
Do I need new lug nuts for aftermarket wheels?
Possibly. Match the thread size M14 x 1.5 and the seat style specified by the wheel manufacturer. Do not reuse OEM nuts if the seat type differs.
-
What torque should I use on the lug nuts?
Refer to your owner manual or an OEM service manual for the correct torque. Re-torque after 50 to 100 miles.
-
Can I reuse my OEM TPMS sensors?
In most cases yes, if the new wheels accept them. Replace seals as needed and perform a TPMS relearn for the vehicle.
