2017 Chevrolet Cruze Wheel Interchange

2017 Chevrolet Cruze Wheel Fitment Guide

Known OEM Fitment For 2017 Chevrolet Cruze

The values below are confirmed examples from OEM equipment for the 2017 Chevrolet Cruze. The Cruze was sold in multiple trims and packages, so wheel and tire sizes may vary by vehicle. If any value on your car differs, use the on-page calculator and confirm against your owner’s manual, the tire placard on the driver’s door jamb, and GM/OEM parts resources before purchasing.

Why you may see differences: some 2017 Cruze trims use different wheel diameters and tire sizes from the factory. Always match the bolt pattern, center bore, and thread size exactly. Wheel width and offset must be chosen to clear brakes and suspension while keeping the tire inside the fender.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

• Select Wheels from to choose a potential donor vehicle or enter a custom wheel size. If the donor vehicle is unknown, use Custom wheel size.
• Set Installed on to 2017 Chevrolet Cruze.
• Enter your current OEM or actual tire size from the sidewall on your Cruze in Custom tire size. If your vehicle shows a different size than the example above, use what is on your door placard or tire.
• Adjust Custom wheel size:
  • Rim diameter and width to what you plan to install.
  • Offset until the calculator shows acceptable inner and outer clearance. Aim to stay close to the known OEM offset when possible.
• Fine tune Custom tire size:
  • Change section width and aspect ratio until overall tire diameter difference is about 0 to 3 percent from your stock setup.
• Review inner clearance to strut/spring, outer poke relative to fender, and speedometer change. If anything conflicts, reduce width or adjust offset toward OEM.
• Before buying, physically measure brake caliper and suspension clearances on the car and compare to the wheel’s drawings or test-fit a wheel.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

• Bolt pattern: must be exactly 5x105. Do not attempt 5x110, 5x112, or 5x114.3.
• Center bore: hub is 56.5 mm. Aftermarket wheels often have a larger bore and require hub-centric rings sized to 56.5 mm to avoid vibration.
• Thread size: M12 x 1.5. Match lug nuts/bolts to thread size and seat style required by the wheel. Verify seat type with the wheel manufacturer before purchase.
• Offset and backspacing: compare to the known OEM example of ET 42 and 5.15 in backspacing. Large changes can cause inner rub on struts or outer fender contact. Small changes are often workable but must be verified.
• Brake clearance: confirm spoke and barrel clearance for your specific brake package. Not all wheel designs with the same specs clear equally.
• Tire overall diameter: target within about 0 to 3 percent of stock to maintain speedometer accuracy and avoid rubbing.
• Load and speed rating: tire ratings must meet or exceed the OEM placard.
• TPMS: plan to transfer, replace, or program tire pressure sensors if equipped.
• Spare tire and chains: verify compatibility if you rely on a compact spare or snow chains.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

The 2017 Cruze was offered with multiple OEM wheel diameters across trims. If you are moving up or down in diameter, use the calculator to keep overall tire diameter within about 0 to 3 percent of your current OEM size and check both inner and outer clearances.

• Plus one or plus two: when increasing wheel diameter, reduce tire aspect ratio so the overall tire diameter stays close to stock.
• Width changes: a wider wheel may need a slightly different offset to maintain inner clearance. Adjust in small steps and verify with the calculator and a physical test fit.
• Ride and handling: larger diameter and lower profile tires can sharpen steering but may increase impact harshness. Match your goals and local road conditions.
• Winter setups: downsizing to a smaller OEM-equivalent diameter with taller-profile tires can improve snow performance and wheel protection. Confirm brake clearance before downsizing.

Installation Tips

• Test-fit one wheel on the front and rear before mounting tires to confirm caliper and hub clearance.
• Clean the hub face and the wheel’s mounting pad. Remove rust so the wheel seats flush.
• If using hub-centric rings, install them fully seated in the wheel.
• Hand-start all lug nuts to avoid cross-threading. Tighten in a star pattern to the OEM torque spec from your owner’s manual.
• After initial installation, recheck torque after a short break-in period of driving.
• Perform a road test at low speed first, listening for rub. Turn lock-to-lock in a safe area to confirm clearance.
• Get an alignment check if you changed wheel width or offset significantly.

Tools And Helpful Supplies

• 1/2 inch drive torque wrench
• M12x1.5 lug nuts – match seat type to your wheel design
• 56.5 mm hub-centric rings – for aftermarket wheels with larger bores
• Tire pressure gauge

FAQs

• Can I install wheels from a different Chevrolet on my 2017 Cruze?

  Only if the wheels match the Cruze’s 5x105 bolt pattern, 56.5 mm center bore or use proper hub-centric rings, compatible offset/backspacing, and clear your brakes. Use the calculator and verify dimensions with the actual wheel.

• Is a 5x110 or 5x114.3 bolt pattern close enough?

  No. The 2017 Cruze requires an exact 5x105 pattern. Near matches will not fit safely.

• My door placard shows a different tire size than the example above. Which is correct?

  Follow your specific door placard and owner’s manual. The sizes above are known OEM examples, but trims vary. Enter your exact size into the calculator as the baseline.

• Do I need hub-centric rings with aftermarket wheels?

  If the wheel’s center bore is larger than 56.5 mm, yes. Rings center the wheel on the hub and help prevent vibration. If the wheel bore is exactly 56.5 mm, rings are not needed.

• What wheel offset should I choose if I change wheel width?

  Start from the known OEM offset example of ET 42 and adjust in small steps while monitoring inner and outer clearance in the calculator. Then test-fit. There is no single correct offset for all widths and designs.

• What is the correct lug nut torque?

  Use the torque specification in your owner’s manual or OEM service information for the 2017 Cruze. Do not guess. Recheck torque after a short driving period.

• Will 17 or 18 inch wheels fit?

  Some 2017 Cruze trims used different wheel diameters from the factory. Fitment depends on width, offset, tire size, and brake clearance. Use your OEM baseline in the calculator and verify physically before purchase.
