Recorded vehicle-side thread for the 2011 Buick Lucerne 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.
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. Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change -0.67 mm, inner change -5.68 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.
Recorded vehicle-side thread for the 2011 Buick Lucerne is M12x1.5. This donor year is recorded as 1/2"-20UNF. 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 suggestionWheel spacer ≈ 6.68 mm – not a verified installation requirement.
A spacer of about 6.68 mm is a dataset suggestion only; clearance is not verified. Estimated outer position is about 6.68 mm farther inward than the mid OEM package. Recorded vehicle-side thread differs (1/2"-20UNF 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.

tl;dr
2011 Buick Lucerne stock wheels are 17x7.0 ET46, 5x115 PCD, center bore 70.3mm, M12x1.5 lugs. Use the on-page calculator to test alternate wheel sizes and offsets before buying. Confirm any missing fit details with OEM dealer literature or your vehicle’s VIN.
Recommendation
Start by matching bolt pattern, center bore, and thread size exactly.
Use wheels that keep effective offset within about +/- 10mm of ET46.
Choose tires sized near 235/55R17 to preserve speedometer and clearance.

Staying close to OEM numbers preserves handling, ABS calibration, and fender clearance.
Risks
Wrong bolt pattern risks stud damage and wheel loss.
Incorrect center bore can cause wobble unless hub-centric rings used.
Wrong thread size will prevent proper lug tightening.
Large offset shifts can rub suspension or fenders during compression.
Oversized tires affect speedometer, fuel economy, and ABS/VSC function.
Some details may vary by trim or aftermarket parts. Don’t assume universal fit.
Next actions
Checklist for a safe wheel change:
Confirm VIN-specific specs with dealer or owner’s manual.
Use the on-page wheel/tire calculator to simulate changes.
Match bolt pattern 5x115 and thread M12x1.5 exactly.
Fit hub-centric rings if center bore larger than 70.3 mm.
Torque lugs to the OEM spec from factory literature or dealer.
Check for brake caliper and suspension clearance after test fit.
Gotchas: lug seat shape and torque spec are often omitted online. Confirm both.
How to use the on-page calculator
Enter the donor wheel and your custom wheel sizes. Observe diameter and scrub changes. Adjust offset until hypothetical fit shows no rubbing. The calculator updates tire diameter when you change rim diameter.
next steps: run the calculator scenarios you need, confirm any missing OEM values, then order wheels and parts. When installing, follow a cross-torque pattern and recheck torque after 50–100 miles. This closes the loop on fitment and safety.
Methodology and sources
Wheel interchange depends on more than bolt pattern. Where data is available, this site compares recorded OEM values:
Bolt pattern / PCD
Center bore direction (donor wheel bore must not be smaller than the hub)
Wheel diameter, width, and offset against known OEM ranges
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.
