so when you trust a private seller is measurements, and then don't verify for 3 months you end up $400 screwed. Bravo's Christmas present supposedly doesn't fit. apparently a Buick Regal is 5 on 115 and so are these wheels, tire shop tried to say bore wasn't right but both vehicles use a 70. 3 mil. the only upside is I still pulled the trigger on picking up the tires themselves. the seller responded to me today because I politely inquired with him, and showed me a website he has showing the Bravada bolt pattern at 115 in the Buick bolt pattern at 120. I'm so confused and frustrated right now I want to throw a tire through a window like the commercials.

 

If you love the wheels, you could always get adapters.

 

true tom, I guess I'm just frustrated that they don't supposedly actually fit. seller said he had them on an S10. does anybody know if the two wheel drive offset messes with the e-brake rear drum-rotors? why would two different Tire fitment websites list the bolt patterns as opposite for each vehicle the Buick they were on and the Bravada that I have? my next steps on the slightly warmer day is to test fit myself in the driveway to see if the tire shop is fos. third random question would be why would a tire shop refuse and make up lack of fitment?

 

No issue with ebrake. I got 2wd rims on mine for years.

 

so... I have a hilariously commented video of me putting this on. But it wouldn't let me post the video I don't know why. as far as the tire gig, now what LOL?

Rear right. center bore is flush to wheel bore.

front right. truck bore is smaller (outer shiny ring) than wheel bore. I just called the tire shop and tire shop is claiming THIS is the fitment issue? as I see it it basically renders the wheel lug Centric instead of hub-centric. anybody have an opinion on whether this should be an issue or not?

 

I've ran spacer that where log centric and not hub centric, never had an issue. But some people say that it puts more stress on the lugs, could cause them to fail and tire to come off...

 

so don am I right in assuming that's the reality of the fit... lug Centric? and again it would be front only. what stresses lugs more... driving torque or steering twist?

 

I'm not expert, but I will say it's safe to assume yes.

I think there would be more stress on the lugs with hard turn and potholes or offroading, but really don't think they would be too stressed on road driving.

Maybe make a different thread in the tire section for a more professional/educated answer lol.

 

I believe they make spacers for the wheel bore as well, would just need to figure out the size you would need. I'm not sure if its something easy to find, or custom made. But I do remember reading about them somewhere in the not so past past.....

 

good call I found some. I'll have to see if they can help me cross reference. anybody on here have the exact bore specs for the Bravada front axle and the rear axle? apparently they're different LOL.
