2013 Chevrolet Cruze Wheel Interchange

2013 Chevrolet Cruze Wheel Fitment Guide

Known OEM Fitment For 2013 Chevrolet Cruze

The data below reflects known factory specifications for the 2013 Chevrolet Cruze. Trims and option packages can vary. If a value is not listed for your exact trim, use the on-page calculator to compare against your current setup and confirm with the tire placard on the driver door jamb and OEM service information.

Important: The Cruze was offered with multiple wheel and tire packages. If your door placard shows a different size than above, treat that as your baseline and use the calculator to compare all changes.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

• Open the calculator on wheelinterchange.com.
• In Wheels from (donor vehicle), select the source package you want to compare. This can be your current setup or a known OEM package from another trim.
• In Installed on (your vehicle), select 2013 Chevrolet Cruze.
• If you are considering aftermarket, enter Custom wheel size with your target rim diameter, width, and offset. Enter Custom tire size with your desired section width and aspect ratio. When you change rim diameter, the tire diameter in the comparison updates so you can see impact on overall rolling diameter.
• Review the comparison for changes in inner clearance, outer poke, strut and fender clearance, ride height change, and speedometer error.
• Aim to keep overall tire diameter close to your OEM baseline and verify that brake caliper and suspension clearances remain positive under compression and steering lock.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

• Confirm OEM baseline: Check the driver door placard for original tire size and load index. If it differs from the table above, use the placard value in the calculator.
• Bolt pattern: 5x105 only. Adapters or redrilling are not recommended for daily use.
• Center bore and hub centricity: The Cruze hub is 56.5 mm. If the new wheel bore is larger, use quality hub centric rings to 56.5 mm. Never force a smaller bore onto the hub.
• Offset and width: Compare your target width and ET in the calculator. Verify inner clearance to struts and control arms, and outer poke relative to the fender.
• Brake clearance: Test-fit to ensure spoke and barrel clear calipers. Paper calculations do not show spoke profile.
• Lug hardware: Thread is M12 x 1.5. Lug seat style must match the wheel design. Do not mix ball seat with conical seat.
• Load rating: Wheels and tires must meet or exceed the vehicle axle load and tire placard load index.
• TPMS: Plan for compatible TPMS sensors and a relearn after installation.
• Tire diameter: Keep overall diameter close to stock to protect ABS, stability control, and speedometer accuracy. Use the calculator to target a small variance.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

The Cruze was offered with multiple factory wheel and tire packages, including 16 and 17 inch options. If your car has the 17x7 ET42 wheel listed above, many owners explore mild changes in width and offset or move between factory-equivalent sizes. If your car has an OEM 16 inch package such as 215/60R16, a plus-one move to 17 inch is common. Always verify in the calculator and do a physical test fit.

• General target: Keep overall tire diameter within a small percentage of your OEM baseline. The calculator will show ride height and speedometer change.
• Mild width changes: Small increases in wheel width may require slight offset adjustments to maintain inner and outer clearance. Use the calculator to balance inner clearance and outer poke.
• Tire selection: Choose a load index equal to or greater than your placard. Performance tires may have stiffer sidewalls that can affect clearance under compression.
• Suspension and brake changes: If you have aftermarket brakes or suspension, recheck all clearances. Calculator results reflect geometry, but spoke shape and caliper profile still require a test fit.

Installation Tips

• Inspect hubs and studs. Clean the 56.5 mm hub face and pilot to remove rust and debris.
• Dry fit one front and one rear wheel to verify caliper and fender clearance at full lock and through suspension travel.
• Hand thread lug nuts on M12 x 1.5 studs to avoid cross-threading. Match the lug seat to the wheel.
• Tighten in a star pattern and use a torque wrench set to the specification in your owner manual or GM service information. Do not rely on an impact gun for final torque.
• Install TPMS sensors that are compatible with the 2013 Cruze and perform the relearn procedure as specified by GM.
• Re-torque after 50 to 100 miles and after any significant temperature change.
• Set tire pressures to the door placard values when cold.

Tools And Helpful Supplies

• 1/2 inch drive torque wrench
• M12 x 1.5 lug nuts or bolts matched to seat type
• Hub centric rings to 56.5 mm
• Accurate tire pressure gauge

FAQs

• What is the bolt pattern on the 2013 Chevrolet Cruze

  5x105. Use wheels drilled for 5x105. Adapters to other patterns are not recommended for daily use.

• What center bore do I need

  56.5 mm hub pilot. If the wheel has a larger center bore, use quality hub centric rings that reduce to 56.5 mm. Do not attempt to fit a wheel with a smaller bore.

• Which lug nuts fit the Cruze

  The thread is M12 x 1.5. The seat style must match the wheel design. Many aftermarket wheels use a 60 degree conical seat, but verify with the wheel manufacturer before purchase.

• What offset should I use

  The known OEM 17 inch wheel is ET 42 mm with 7.0 inch width. Small deviations can work, but always compare inner clearance and outer poke in the calculator and test fit.

• What is the stock tire size for 2013 Cruze

  One known OEM size is 215/60R16. Other trims may differ. Check your driver door placard and use that value as your baseline in the calculator.

• Will 17 inch wheels fit my Cruze

  17 inch wheels were offered on certain trims. If your car did not come with 17s, you may still be able to use a 17 inch package, but verify brake clearance, offset, and tire diameter in the calculator and confirm against OEM references.

• Do I need hub centric rings

  If your aftermarket wheel has a center bore larger than 56.5 mm, use rings to achieve a snug hub-centric fit. If the wheel bore matches 56.5 mm, rings are not needed.

• What torque should I use on the lug nuts

  Follow the torque specification in your owner manual or GM service information for the 2013 Cruze. Do not guess. Use a calibrated torque wrench and recheck after 50 to 100 miles.

• Will different tire sizes affect my speedometer

  Yes. Changing overall tire diameter alters the indicated speed. The calculator shows the difference so you can keep the variance small and within acceptable limits.

• How do I handle TPMS when changing wheels

  Use compatible TPMS sensors for the 2013 Cruze and perform the relearn procedure outlined in the owner manual or GM service information. Many tire shops can perform this service if you prefer.
