Expert Buying Guide for 2016 Chevrolet Impala Limited
For your 2016 Chevrolet Impala Limited, the bolt pattern is 5x115 with a center bore of 70.3mm. When selecting aftermarket wheels, ensure the center bore matches or use hub-centric rings to prevent vibrations. The offset is critical: stock is 50mm; deviations affect handling and clearance. Stick within ±5mm to avoid rubbing or stress on suspension. Always use the correct lug nuts: 12x1.5 thread pitch with a conical (60-degree) seat. Never use ball-seat lug nuts, as they can loosen. Re-torque after 50-100 miles. Note that 2014-2016 Impala Limited wheels are interchangeable, but verify compatibility with your specific trim.
