2010 Chevrolet Impala Wheel Fitment Guide
Known OEM Fitment For 2010 Chevrolet Impala
The 2010 Chevrolet Impala was sold with multiple wheel and tire packages. The data below reflects values that are confirmed for at least some trims. Your specific trim may differ. Always verify against your driver-door jamb label, owner’s manual, and the on-page calculator before you buy.
Spec
Value
Notes
Bolt pattern
5x115
Do not substitute 5x114.3. It is not a safe match.
Center bore
70.3 mm
Aftermarket wheels with a larger bore require hub-centric rings.
Thread size
M12 x 1.5
Match lug nuts or bolts to this thread.
Rim diameter
18 in
Known for at least one factory package. Other factory diameters also existed.
Rim width
7.0 in
Known wheel example width.
Wheel offset (ET)
52 mm
Known wheel example offset.
Backspacing
5.55 in
Derived from the known wheel example.
Tire size example
225/60R16
Confirms a 16 inch factory package existed on some trims.
Because multiple OEM packages were used, some values vary by trim. If your sticker or manual does not match every number above, use the calculator on this page and confirm with an OEM source or dealer by VIN.
How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator
Choose Wheels from donor vehicle: Enter the known specs of the wheels you want to install. If shopping aftermarket, use the wheel’s published diameter, width, and offset. If pulling from a donor vehicle, enter that vehicle’s specs if available.
Set Installed on your vehicle: Select 2010 Chevrolet Impala. If you know your current factory size, enter it for the most accurate comparison.
Adjust Custom wheel size: Change rim diameter, width, and offset to see how track width, inner clearance to strut, and outer poke change.
Adjust Custom tire size: Change section width and aspect ratio. The calculator will update overall tire diameter so you can keep it close to your original to protect speedometer accuracy and clearance.
Target goals: Keep bolt pattern at 5x115, center bore at least 70.3 mm, overall tire diameter within about plus or minus 3 percent of stock, and offset close to your OEM value. Confirm brake and suspension clearance before purchase.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy
Bolt pattern: Must be 5x115. Do not use 5x114.3 even though it looks close.
Center bore: Vehicle hub is 70.3 mm. Wheel bore must be 70.3 mm or larger. Use hub-centric rings if larger to avoid vibration.
Thread size: M12 x 1.5. Use compatible lug nuts or bolts with the correct seat type for your wheel design.
Offset and backspacing: One known OEM example is ET 52 mm with 5.55 in backspacing. If your trim differs, use the calculator to stay close to your own OEM offset and confirm inner and outer clearances.
Brake caliper clearance: Visually inspect and measure. Paper and tape-measure templates help validate spoke and barrel clearance.
Tire diameter: Keep total diameter close to your original to maintain speedometer accuracy and avoid rubbing. Use the calculator to compare.
Load rating: Wheels and tires must meet or exceed the Impala’s axle and GVWR requirements.
TPMS: Plan to transfer or service sensors and perform a relearn after installation.
Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades
The 2010 Chevrolet Impala was sold with at least 16 inch and 18 inch factory packages. If you are moving up or down in wheel diameter, use the calculator to select a tire size that keeps overall diameter near your original. For example, if your car currently uses a 16 inch package like 225/60R16, you would choose an 18 inch tire with a lower aspect ratio so the overall height stays similar. This protects speedometer accuracy and reduces rubbing risk.
Offset strategy: Start from your own OEM offset. The known example is ET 52 mm. Small changes can be workable, but verify inner strut and outer fender clearance in the calculator and by test fit.
Width changes: Wider wheels push inner and outer edges. Use the calculator to check both inner clearance and outer poke when increasing width.
Hub-centric fit: If using aftermarket wheels with a larger bore than 70.3 mm, install proper hub-centric rings to center the wheel.
Speedometer and ABS: Keep overall tire diameter within roughly plus or minus 3 percent of stock to limit drivability impacts.
Installation Tips
Test fit first: Mount one front and one rear wheel without tires to confirm caliper, strut, and fender clearance. Spin by hand.
Clean the hub: Remove rust from the hub face and center pilot. A clean, flat interface prevents wobble.
Hub rings: If needed, seat rings fully in the wheel bore before mounting.
Lug hardware: Use the correct seat type for your wheels and M12 x 1.5 thread. Hand start all lugs.
Torque: Tighten in a star pattern in stages to the torque specified in your owner’s manual. Re-torque after 50 to 100 miles.
TPMS: Swap or service sensors and perform the relearn procedure for the Impala after installation.
Road test: Check for vibration, rubbing on full lock, and fender contact over bumps. Address issues before regular driving.
No. The correct bolt pattern is 5x115. Using 5x114.3 is not recommended and can lead to vibration, stud stress, and safety issues.
What offset should I use
Start with your OEM offset. One verified factory example is ET 52 mm, but trims vary. Use the calculator to compare any new wheel to your own OEM wheel and check inner and outer clearance before purchasing.
Do I need hub-centric rings
If your aftermarket wheel’s center bore is larger than 70.3 mm, install rings to reduce it to 70.3 mm. If the wheel bore is exactly 70.3 mm, rings are not needed. A wheel bore smaller than 70.3 mm will not fit.
Can I run 18 inch wheels if my car came with 16s
Often possible, but verify brake clearance and keep overall tire diameter close to your original. Use the calculator to choose an appropriate tire aspect ratio and confirm clearances.
What tire pressure should I use after changing wheels
Use the pressure on your driver-door jamb sticker as the baseline. That spec is for the vehicle, not the wheel. Adjust only if needed for load or wear patterns.
What is the correct lug nut torque
Refer to the 2010 Chevrolet Impala owner’s manual or a GM dealer for the exact torque specification. Do not guess. Always torque in a star pattern and re-check after 50 to 100 miles.
Will spacers work on the 2010 Impala
Only if required for clearance and properly sized. Use quality hub-centric spacers that maintain 70.3 mm hub centering and sufficient thread engagement. Measure carefully and re-verify with the calculator. If unsure, consult a professional.
If any of your measurements differ from the values listed, that does not mean they are wrong. The 2010 Chevrolet Impala had multiple OEM fitments. Use the Wheel Interchange Calculator on wheelinterchange.com and confirm against your door jamb label, owner’s manual, and dealer VIN lookup to ensure a safe match.
Methodology and sources
Wheel interchange depends on more than bolt pattern. Where data is available, this site compares recorded OEM values:
Bolt pattern / PCD
Center bore direction (donor wheel bore must not be smaller than the hub)
Wheel diameter, width, and offset against known OEM ranges
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.
