These are vehicle-year records whose recorded OEM ranges overlap this 2006 Buick LaCrosse. Overlap is not a guarantee that a specific wheel will install. Selected-wheel comparison is in the calculator below.
Evaluated 65 donor years. Listed 24 eligible overlaps (not all evaluated years are compatible). Showing all listed.
Years grouped because recorded compatibility evidence is equivalent. Each year keeps its own page.
Recorded OEM bolt pattern, center bore, and width/offset ranges overlap. This is not a guarantee that every wheel from the donor year fits this vehicle.
Recorded vehicle-side thread for the 2006 Buick LaCrosse is M12x1.5. This donor year is recorded as M14x1.5. That is the vehicle stud/nut thread, not an intrinsic thread stamped on the wheel. Hardware must match this vehicle’s studs and the selected wheel’s seat and engagement. Existing hardware may be reusable if it already matches. Seat style is not in this dataset, so products are not a verified fit.
Donor width/offset sits outside the known OEM envelope for this vehicle. Recorded vehicle-side thread differs (M14x1.5 on the donor year vs M12x1.5 on the target vehicle). Hardware must match the target vehicle’s studs and the selected wheel’s seat. Existing hardware may be reusable if it already matches. Seat style is not confirmed in this dataset.
Donor width/offset sits outside the known OEM envelope for this vehicle. Precomputed data suggested a spacer; geometry was re-checked against OEM envelope.

The values below are provided for at least one 2006 Buick LaCrosse configuration. Trims and option packages can change wheel and tire specs. If something here differs from your door-jamb label or owner manual, trust your OEM source and use the on-page calculator to compare sizes.
| Bolt pattern | 5x115 |
| Center bore | 70.3 mm |
| Thread size | M12 x 1.5 |
| Rim diameter | 18 in |
| Rim width | 7.5 in |
| Wheel offset | ET 50 mm |
| Backspacing | 5.72 in |
| Tire section width | 225 mm |
| Tire aspect ratio | 60 |
| Tire rim diameter | 16 in |
Note: The wheel line above shows an 18x7.5 ET50 spec, while the tire line shows 225/60R16. This indicates there were multiple factory setups by trim or that the provided data is partial. Confirm your exact factory size on the driver door-jamb placard and in the owner manual, then use the calculator to compare any alternative wheel or tire.
Start from your verified OEM setup. If your placard shows 225/60R16, that is your baseline. If your trim came with 18x7.5 ET50, use that as your baseline. The calculator will let you try plus sizes while tracking diameter and clearances.
Because factory specs appear to vary on the 2006 LaCrosse, verify your trim’s OEM size first, then plan any upgrade with the calculator and a physical test fit.
Are 5x115 and 5x114.3 the same?
No. They are different bolt circles. Using 5x114.3 on a 5x115 hub can cause misalignment and is not recommended.
What center bore do I need on a 2006 Buick LaCrosse?
The vehicle hub is 70.3 mm. OEM wheels match this. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger bore, install hub centric rings sized to 70.3 mm to keep the wheel centered.
Will 18 inch wheels fit my 2006 LaCrosse?
The provided data includes an 18x7.5 ET50 setup for at least one configuration. Fitment can vary by trim, brakes, and suspension. Confirm your OEM size on the door sticker, then use the calculator to compare 18 inch options and perform a physical test fit.
What tire size should I use to keep my speedometer accurate?
Use your OEM tire from the door-jamb label as the baseline, for example 225/60R16 if that is what your car lists. In the calculator, try alternate sizes and choose one with a small overall diameter change. Verify there is no rubbing.
What offset should I choose?
Use the OEM reference ET 50 as your starting point and compare any new wheel offset in the calculator. Ensure inner clearance to suspension and outer clearance to fenders remain safe. Different wheel designs can change caliper clearance even at the same offset.
Do I need new lug nuts for aftermarket wheels?
Maybe. Keep the thread size M12 x 1.5, but match the lug seat type required by the wheel manufacturer. Conical, ball, or shank seats are not interchangeable.
Does my 2006 LaCrosse have TPMS sensors?
TPMS equipment can vary by trim and market for this model year. Check your owner manual and the dash for a TPMS indicator. If present, be sure your new wheels and valves support the system and complete any relearn procedure.
Can I use wheel spacers?
Only if necessary and only high quality hub centric spacers that maintain a 70.3 mm center bore. Ensure proper stud engagement and follow all torque procedures. Check local laws.
Wheel interchange depends on more than bolt pattern. Where data is available, this site compares recorded OEM values:
A normal wheel spacer does not change bolt pattern. Hub rings cannot enlarge a wheel bore that is smaller than the hub. Brake clearance and tire package fitment still require vehicle-specific checks when not confirmed in the dataset.
