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

What other years of Chevrolet Sonic have the same bolt pattern as the 2016?
The Chevrolet Sonic uses the 5x105 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.
Why is matching the 56.6mm center bore important for the 2016 Sonic?
The 56.6mm 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.

How do I measure the bolt pattern on my 2016 Chevrolet?
The 2016 Sonic uses a 5x105 pattern. For 4, 6, or 8-lug wheels, measure center-to-center across opposite holes. For 5-lug, measure from the center of one hole to the back of the opposite hole.
Fitment Checklist Before You Buy Wheels
- Verify thread pitch before installation; M12x1.25 and M12x1.5 are not interchangeable.
