These are vehicle-year records whose recorded OEM ranges overlap this 2016 Cadillac CTS. Overlap is not a guarantee that a specific wheel will install. Selected-wheel comparison is in the calculator below.
Evaluated 39 donor years. Listed 24 eligible overlaps (not all evaluated years are compatible). Showing all listed.
Years grouped because recorded compatibility evidence is equivalent. Each year keeps its own page.
Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change -2.68 mm, inner change -3.68 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.

Dataset suggestionWheel spacer ≈ 22.03 mm – not a verified installation requirement.
A spacer of about 22.03 mm is a dataset suggestion only; clearance is not verified. Estimated outer position is about 22.03 mm farther inward than the mid OEM package.
Recorded vehicle-side thread for the 2016 Cadillac CTS is M14x1.5. This donor year is recorded as M12x1.5. 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.
Dataset suggestionWheel spacer ≈ 20.03 mm – not a verified installation requirement.
Hub-centric rings of about 70.3 → 66.9 mm mm may be relevant if the wheel bore is larger than the hub. A spacer of about 20.03 mm is a dataset suggestion only; clearance is not verified. Recorded vehicle-side thread differs (M12x1.5 on the donor year vs M14x1.5 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.
Years grouped because recorded compatibility evidence is equivalent. Each year keeps its own page.
Center-bore records disagree (donor year-level hub 67 mm vs trim range 66.9–66.9 mm). Unqualified overlap is not claimed until the conflict is resolved. Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change -10.68 mm, inner change 4.33 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.
Approximate position vs the mid OEM package: outer change 7.68 mm, inner change -1.33 mm. This uses aggregated width/offset ranges, not a specific wheel.

The figures below are known OEM specifications for the 2016 Cadillac CTS. Trims and packages can use different wheel and tire combinations. If a value is missing from your trim or you see conflicting sizes, verify using the on-page calculator and your OEM sources like the door-jamb tire label, owner’s manual, and VIN or RPO code lookup.
| Bolt pattern | 5x120 |
| Center bore | 66.9 mm |
| Thread size | M14 x 1.5 |
| Rim diameter | 19 in |
| Rim width | 8.5 in |
| Wheel offset (ET) | 34 mm |
| Backspacing | 5.59 in |
| Tire section width | 245 mm |
| Tire aspect ratio | 45% |
| Tire rim diameter | 17 in |
Note: The presence of a 19 inch wheel size and a 17 inch tire size indicates multiple factory setups across trims. Use the calculator to confirm your exact baseline by entering the sizes from your CTS, then compare against any wheels you plan to install.
Cadillac offered multiple OEM wheel and tire combinations on the 2016 CTS. If you are moving up or down in wheel diameter, keep these principles in mind and verify every change with the calculator.
What is the bolt pattern on the 2016 Cadillac CTS
5x120.
What center bore does the 2016 CTS use
66.9 mm. Use hub-centric wheels or rings that size down to 66.9 mm if the aftermarket wheel bore is larger.
Which lug nuts do I need
Thread size is M14 x 1.5. The seat type must match your wheel design. Many aftermarket wheels use a 60 degree conical seat, but verify visually or with the wheel manufacturer. Do not mix seat types.
Why do I see a 19 inch wheel and a 17 inch tire listed
Different 2016 CTS trims used different OEM wheel and tire packages. Use your door-jamb tire label or owner’s manual to confirm your exact stock size, then enter that as the baseline in the calculator.
What offset should I use
One OEM reference shown here is ET 34 mm for an 8.5 inch wheel. Offsets vary by trim and wheel width. Use the calculator to compare inner clearance and poke versus your verified baseline and choose an offset that maintains safe clearances.
Can I install spacers on my CTS
Only if needed to correct clearance. Use hub-centric spacers with sufficient stud engagement and quality hardware. Recalculate effective offset and confirm fender coverage and bearing load. Check local regulations and consider a professional inspection.
What torque should I use on the lug nuts
Torque specifications can vary by trim and wheel. Refer to your owner’s manual or OEM service information and use a calibrated torque wrench. Re-torque after 50 to 100 miles.
How much diameter change is acceptable when plus sizing
As a general guideline, try to keep overall tire diameter within about 2 to 3 percent of your verified stock size. Use the calculator to check diameter and speedometer impact before buying.
Wheel interchange depends on more than bolt pattern. Where data is available, this site compares recorded OEM values:
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.
