The listed 245/65R17 tire has an approximately calculated overall diameter of 26.7 inches. This calculation is a comparison reference, not a substitute for the tire size approved for your specific vehicle. Check the driver door placard, owner’s manual, and OEM service information for the final specification.
How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator
Use the calculator to compare a donor vehicle’s wheels with the wheels installed on your 2019 GMC Acadia. Enter the donor wheel information under “Wheels from” and the Acadia information under “Installed on.”
- Enter the bolt pattern, center bore, wheel diameter, wheel width, and offset when those fields are available.
- Use the known Acadia reference values above as a starting point, then verify them against your vehicle and wheel markings.
- For tire comparisons, enter section width and aspect ratio. A tire marked 245/65R17 uses 245 mm section width, a 65 percent aspect ratio, and a 17 inch rim diameter.
- Use “Custom wheel size” to test a different rim diameter, width, or offset.
- Use “Custom tire size” to compare another section width or aspect ratio.
- When you change rim diameter, review the updated tire diameter in the comparison. A different rim diameter normally requires a tire with a suitable sidewall height to maintain an appropriate overall diameter.
A calculator comparison is an initial screening tool. It cannot confirm spoke clearance, brake clearance, suspension clearance, fender clearance, load rating, tire approval, or whether a wheel requires different lug hardware. Physical inspection and OEM or wheel-manufacturer documentation are still required.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy
Confirm every critical measurement rather than relying only on a vehicle name or a seller’s compatibility claim.
- Verify the 6x120 bolt pattern and confirm that the wheel has six correctly positioned mounting holes.
- Compare the wheel center bore with the Acadia hub. A smaller bore will not fit over the hub. A larger bore may require correctly sized hub-centric rings if approved for that wheel application.
- Confirm that the wheel offset is suitable. Offset changes can affect inner suspension clearance, outer fender clearance, steering behavior, and tire contact.
- Check the wheel’s brake and spoke clearance on the exact vehicle, especially when using aftermarket wheels.
- Confirm the wheel width, diameter, and load rating with the wheel manufacturer.
- Choose tires with a load rating and speed rating appropriate for the vehicle, and verify the selected size with the door placard and tire manufacturer.
- Confirm the thread size and lug-seat type. The known thread size is M14 x 1.5, but the wheel’s required lug-seat design must also match.
- Check that the tire does not contact the strut, control arm, liner, bumper area, or fender at full steering lock and through suspension travel.
- Inspect used wheels for cracks, bends, excessive corrosion, damaged mounting seats, or repaired areas.
Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades
Plus sizing generally means using a larger wheel diameter with a lower-profile tire while attempting to keep the overall tire diameter close to the original reference. The calculator can compare custom wheel diameter, width, offset, section width, and aspect ratio, but it does not approve a specific upgrade.
When considering a larger or wider wheel, compare the calculated tire diameter and inspect the complete wheel and tire assembly on the vehicle. A wider tire or a different offset can reduce clearance even when the overall tire diameter is similar. It can also affect steering effort, ride comfort, road noise, wet-weather behavior, and the risk of wheel or tire damage.
Do not select an upgrade solely because the bolt pattern matches. Confirm brake clearance, hub fit, lug hardware, load capacity, tire approval, and clearance at full steering lock. If the vehicle has different factory equipment than the reference data, use the door placard and OEM documentation as the controlling sources.
Installation Tips
Have wheel installation completed by a qualified technician when possible. Before mounting, clean the hub and wheel mounting surfaces without removing metal or applying lubricant between the mating faces unless the wheel or vehicle manufacturer specifically requires it.
- Test-fit one wheel on the front and rear positions before mounting all tires, checking the hub, brake, suspension, and fender clearances.
- Use only lug nuts with the correct thread and seat type for the wheel. Do not force incompatible lug nuts onto the studs.
- Install lug nuts by hand first, then tighten in a star or crisscross pattern.
- Torque the lug nuts to the vehicle or wheel manufacturer’s specified value using a calibrated torque wrench. The correct torque value is not provided here and must be confirmed from OEM service information.
- Set tire pressure using the driver door placard, not the maximum pressure molded into the tire sidewall.
- After installation, check for rubbing during slow turns and inspect the wheel area after a short drive.
- Recheck lug torque after the initial driving period according to the vehicle or wheel manufacturer’s instructions.
Tools And Helpful Supplies
Useful equipment may include a calibrated torque wrench, the correct socket for the lug nuts, a vehicle-rated jack and jack stands, a tire pressure gauge, and a tread-depth or clearance inspection tool. Use equipment rated for the vehicle’s weight and follow safe lifting procedures.
Shop automotive torque wrenches
Shop automotive tire pressure gauges
Do not work under a vehicle supported only by a jack. Chock the wheels that remain on the ground, use approved lift points, and keep hands and body parts clear while test-fitting or lowering the vehicle.
FAQs
What is the known bolt pattern for the 2019 GMC Acadia?
The supplied reference specification is 6x120. Confirm the application for your exact trim and wheel using the vehicle documentation and the wheel manufacturer’s fitment data.
What is the center bore?
The supplied center bore is 66.9 mm. A wheel bore that is smaller than the hub will not fit. A larger bore may require properly sized hub-centric rings when approved for the application.
What wheel size is listed as the reference?
The known reference is a 17 x 7.5 inch wheel with ET50 offset and 5.72 inch backspacing. These values should be verified for the exact vehicle, trim, and wheel being replaced.
What tire size is associated with the supplied reference?
The supplied tire reference is 245/65R17. Confirm the correct tire size and pressure on the driver door placard and in the owner’s manual before purchasing or installing tires.
Can any 6x120 wheel fit the Acadia?
No. Matching the bolt pattern alone is not enough. Center bore, offset, width, brake clearance, spoke design, lug-seat type, load rating, and tire clearance must also be suitable.
How can I compare a different wheel or tire size?
Enter the donor wheel under “Wheels from” and the Acadia reference under “Installed on.” Then use the custom wheel and tire fields to change diameter, width, offset, section width, or aspect ratio. Review the tire diameter change and physically verify clearance before purchase.
Is M14 x 1.5 the correct lug thread size?
M14 x 1.5 is the supplied thread-size reference. The lug nut must also have the correct seat style for the selected wheel. Confirm the hardware specification through OEM or wheel-manufacturer documentation.
Will changing wheel offset affect safety or handling?
Yes. A different offset changes the wheel’s position relative to the hub, suspension, steering components, and fender. It may also affect rubbing, steering feel, bearing loads, and brake clearance. Compare the change in the calculator and perform a complete physical inspection.
Where should I confirm specifications that are not listed here?
Use the driver door placard, owner’s manual, OEM parts and service information, and the wheel or tire manufacturer’s technical documentation. If those sources conflict with a seller listing, seek clarification before purchasing.
