The configuration describes the arrangement of the mounting holes on a vehicle’s wheel hub and the corresponding wheel. This specification is critical for ensuring wheel compatibility. For the specified vehicle year and model, this arrangement consists of five holes arranged in a circular pattern with a specific diameter. This diameter is measured from the center of one stud to the center of the directly opposite stud. Knowledge of this configuration is essential when replacing or upgrading wheels.
Adhering to the correct configuration is vital for safe and reliable vehicle operation. Using wheels with an incorrect configuration can lead to wheel loosening, vibration, and potentially catastrophic wheel failure. Understanding this parameter ensures proper wheel fitment, contributing to vehicle stability, handling, and overall safety. Historically, this specific configuration has been a standard for many General Motors vehicles, facilitating parts interchangeability and simplifying wheel selection for owners.
