Equinox 17" wheels, Buick Center Caps?


8-Track

Recommended Posts

Well, since so many GM cars have the same bolt pattern, I decided to get something different so I can run the bigger brakes later down the line. Got a good deal on a set of Chevy Equinox wheels and tires (managed to fit all 4 of them in the Reatta with my roommate still in the passenger seat, it was tight)

My plan is to replace the Chevy center cap with a Buick one, run 225/50R17 tires.

Now I do wanna get chrome lug nuts, but I gotta make sure I get ones that seat properly, if anybody knows this, itd be appreciated.

I don't remember what year they were from, but there is a pic attached below. 

Also, does anybody know if I can bluetooth link the TPMS to read on my phone?

good choice on the rims and tires..... 

I have some Buick tri-shield plastic emblems.... some are silver some are in 3 colors. 

measure the hole you are trying to fill and I will see what I have.     You just pay the shipping

if you can use what I have (these are new parts)

Update... here is photo of the colored tri shield.... the are 2 3/16 in diameter.   The silver ones 

are probably the same but I did not search for them after I located the colored ones.

They look good!  ;)

Thanks!

Same height tires as factory. 225/50R17s

However this really emphasizes the too high ride height of the car. Gosh I wish they made mild lowering kits, like 1 to 2 inches lower would be perfect.

It feels so good to not be on tires made during the Bush administration though20240305_184335.jpg.1475525afb921c8ed2939a5befcb0105.jpg20240305_184324.jpg.cfacb707d6f477dcb7407db970b863ec.jpg
