Expert Buying Guide for 2016 Chevrolet Impala
For the 2016 Chevrolet Impala, the bolt pattern is 5x120 with a center bore of 66.9mm. When selecting aftermarket wheels, ensure hub-centric rings are used to match the bore precisely, preventing vibrations and ensuring proper load distribution. The offset is critical at 42mm; deviations beyond ±5mm may cause rubbing or clearance issues with suspension and brakes. Always verify lug nut thread pitch (14x1.50) and seat type—use conical (60-degree) seat lug nuts for aftermarket wheels, as factory wheels use a different seat. Failure to match can lead to wheel loosening. Cross-compatible with 2012–2020 Impala models.

Quick Tips & Safety Warnings
- ✅ Re-torque lug nuts after 50-100 miles of driving to ensure proper seating.
- ✅ Avoid using wheels from 5x115 or 5x127 Impala generations without proper adapters.
- ✅ Check brake caliper clearance when changing offset, as the Impala has tight tolerances.
- ⚠️ Confirm bolt pattern carefully. 5x120 is often confused with other common 5-lug patterns.
- ⚠️ Torque lugs in a star pattern to 100 ft-lbs (135 Nm), then re-check torque after 50-100 km (30-60 miles).
- ⚠️ This model has multiple bolt-pattern records across years. Match wheels to exact year/trim before purchase.

2016 Chevrolet Impala — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the bolt pattern for a 2016 Chevrolet Impala?

What other years of Chevrolet Impala have the same bolt pattern as the 2016?
The Chevrolet Impala uses the 5x120 pattern from 2012 through 2020. Wheels from any of these model years are dimensionally compatible with the 2016, provided the offset and center bore also match.
What is the factory wheel offset for a 2016 Chevrolet Impala?
The OEM offset for the 2016 Impala is typically around 42mm. Depending on wheel width, a deviation of ±5mm is usually acceptable, but verify suspension clearance.
Will wheels from another Chevrolet fit my 2016 Impala?
Only if they share the exact same 5x120 bolt pattern, a compatible offset, and a center bore equal to or larger than 66.9mm.
Why is matching the 66.9mm center bore important for the 2016 Impala?
The 66.9mm center bore ensures the wheel is perfectly centered on the hub. If the wheel is lug-centric instead of hub-centric, you may experience steering wheel vibration at highway speeds.
What does 42mm offset mean for the 2016 Impala?
An offset of 42mm means the wheel's mounting surface is 42mm away from its centerline. Changing this value drastically can affect suspension geometry and wheel bearing wear on your Chevrolet.
