These are vehicle-year records whose recorded OEM ranges overlap this 2016 Buick LaCrosse. Overlap is not a guarantee that a specific wheel will install. Selected-wheel comparison is in the calculator below.
Evaluated 21 donor years. Listed 21 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.
Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change 4.18 mm, inner change 2.18 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.

Recorded vehicle-side thread for the 2016 Buick LaCrosse is M14x1.5. This donor year is recorded as M12x1.5. 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.
Dataset suggestionHub-centric rings ≈ 70.3 → 66.9 mm – not a verified installation requirement.
Hub-centric rings of about 70.3 → 66.9 mm mm may be relevant if the wheel bore is larger than the hub; they cannot enlarge a smaller bore. Recorded vehicle-side thread differs (M12x1.5 on the donor year vs M14x1.5 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. Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change -2.18 mm, inner change -4.18 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.

| Bolt pattern | 5x120 |
| Center bore | 66.9 mm |
| Thread size | M14 x 1.5 |
| OEM wheel size | 17 x 7.0 in |
| Offset | ET 42 mm |
| Backspacing | 5.15 in |
| OEM tire size | 235/55R17 |
| Approx overall diameter | 27.2 in (calculated from 235/55R17) |
Notes: Other factory wheel and tire sizes may exist depending on trim or options. If your door jamb tire label or owner’s manual shows a different factory size, use that as your baseline and verify it with the on-page calculator and OEM service information.
OEM reference diameter is about 27.2 in using 235/55R17. The examples below maintain a similar overall diameter to help with speedometer accuracy. These are examples only. Actual fitment depends on wheel width, offset, brake clearance, and suspension. Always verify with the calculator and a test fit.
Offset and width example: Stock is 17x7 ET42. If you consider 18x8, the wheel is 1.0 in wider total about 25.4 mm, which is about 12.7 mm wider per side. To keep inner clearance similar, reduce offset by roughly 12 to 13 mm. For example, an offset around ET30 may preserve inner clearance compared to stock. Use the calculator to fine tune and confirm outer poke.
What is the bolt pattern for the 2016 Buick LaCrosse?
5x120.
What center bore do I need?
66.9 mm. If the wheel bore is larger, use hub centric rings to adapt to 66.9 mm.
What lug nuts or bolts does it use?
M14 x 1.5 thread. Verify whether your wheels require conical or ball seat hardware and match accordingly.
Can I run 18 or 19 inch wheels?
Often possible when overall tire diameter remains close to OEM and brake clearance is verified. Use the calculator to model sizes like 235/50R18 or 235/45R19 and then test fit.
What is the stock wheel and tire size?
One known OEM setup is 17x7 ET42 with 235/55R17 tires. Other factory sizes may exist by trim. Confirm your door label and owner’s manual.
Do I need hub centric rings?
If your aftermarket wheel’s center bore is larger than 66.9 mm, yes. Rings help the wheel seat accurately on the hub and reduce vibration.
What torque should I use on the lug nuts?
The exact torque can vary. Refer to the Buick owner’s manual or OEM service information for your trim and wheel size. Do not guess and do not lubricate threads unless the OEM specifies.
Will new wheels affect my speedometer?
They can. Keep the overall tire diameter close to the OEM baseline about 27.2 in. The calculator shows the expected speedometer difference.
Can I use spacers to clear brakes or fenders?
Only if necessary. Use hub-centric spacers that match 5x120 and 66.9 mm hub. Ensure proper thread engagement and hardware length. Re-check torque frequently.
How do I handle TPMS when changing wheels?
You can transfer OEM sensors if compatible with the new wheels or install new compatible sensors. Perform the relearn procedure specified by Buick.
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.
