Despite the fact that this information is taken from the websites of auto manufacturers, our catalog is for informational purposes only and does not guarantee full compliance of the proposed sizes with your car.

If non-standard wheels are installed on your car, this can lead to friction and increased wear. Therefore, it is worth adhering to factory standards. Therefore, the correct selection of wheels is an important element.

Tire markings

The wheel bolt pattern on a Chevrolet Cruze has the following abbreviations:

  • ET – disc offset;
  • LZ – number of holes;
  • DIA – hole diameter;
  • PCD – hole center diameter.

The wheel bolt pattern on a Chevrolet Cruze is not all that a car enthusiast needs to know to select tires for his car. Important parameters are the markings on the tires:

  • Treadwear 300 – a value characterizing wear resistance;
  • Traction A - skid-resistant tires, the letter C means compliance with the minimum requirements;
  • Temperature – heat removal at high speeds, A – heat removal at speeds above 180 km/h, B – at speeds 160-180 km/h, C – at speeds below 160 km/h;
  • TWI – tire wear mark;
  • M+S - an indication of the large distance between the tread lugs, which increases stability in snow and mud.

Wheel sizes and parameters

Chevrolet cruze 1.6 mt ls (01.2013 - 10.2015) - technical specifications

Among the rims installed on the Chevrolet Cruze, 2 options were common: radii R16 and R17.

Wheels 16 on the Chevrolet Cruze

This wheel size is the basic one for the car; it was R16 wheels that were installed on most of the trim levels presented in Russia. The driving characteristics and handling on wheels of this radius are high. Maximum smoothness and comfort in the cabin are achieved. Small holes and potholes are not very noticeable, the suspension works smoothly, without strong shocks.

The tire sizes installed in this version are 205/60 R16.

R17

In this version, the car looks much more solid and expressive. A small number of trim levels were equipped with wheels of a similar size. You can immediately recognize them in traffic.


Wheel R17 on Cruise

Various manufacturers also have products for this size. There is a choice of both expensive wheels and tires and relatively cheap ones. The ride quality in this case is slightly less than that of the R16, but the handling and behavior of the car at high speeds and turns has improved.

As for the tires, in this case its size is possible in two options, depending on the installed rims. These can be basic tires 215/50 R17 or 235/45 R17, popular among tuning enthusiasts. In the latter case, the tires have a low profile, which will affect the comfort of movement, but will improve handling.

Parameter description

A car's rims directly affect its behavior on the road surface. Knowing the bolt pattern of Chevrolet Cruze wheels, you can choose products for it from a wide range. These can be either original factory wheels or custom-made ones. Most often, replacing wheels and tires is associated with the change of season, but this also happens due to wear and tear or the desire to improve the appearance of the car.


Chevrolet Cruze, wheel bolt pattern and appearance Important!

Only original products will meet all the factory characteristics of the car.

This applies not only to Cruz, but also to the entire model line, Cobalt or even Niva from Chevrolet.

Over time, every car owner thinks about how to improve the exterior of their car. A popular method is tuning, when certain parts of the car are replaced with more sporty and attractive ones. Since the main part on which the appearance of the car depends are the wheels, they are often replaced first. But for any vehicle, wheels are not only part of the exterior, but also an important component, the size, manufacturing method, weight and other characteristics of which determine the vehicle’s handling and stability on the road.

However, it is not enough to simply improve the design of the machine by installing new parts. It is important that these improvements do not reduce the operating efficiency of the vehicle.

There are frequent cases when poorly installed parts flew off the car while it was moving and damaged others. In this regard, it is important to select components that meet all quality and safety parameters.

As for the wheels, the new set must match the factory parameters for both drilling and dimensions for width, diameter and offset. It is also important to choose the correct tires, since inaccurate sizes will negatively affect performance. The drilling determines whether the selected rim can be installed on the car. If the parameter is not suitable, then adapter rings must be used. This involves interference with the factory design and is not a safe method.

Note!

In addition to the wheels, it is important to choose the correct tire size.

In any car, the bolt pattern parameter is designated PCD. The same applies to the Chevrolet brand. For maximum understanding, the meaning of the term is explained as follows: how many bolts are needed to secure the wheel and what is the diameter of the circle of their location. This data is important when choosing a new set, so that there are no certain difficulties when purchasing. Knowing this value, you can choose the most optimal ones from the available products in the store.

Visually it is very difficult to determine the diameter, in contrast to the number of bolts, which are not difficult to count. You can measure the diameter yourself, but for this you need at least a ruler, and it is better to use a caliper.


Chevrolet Cruze, original 16-inch wheels

It is necessary to remember that poor-quality selection of wheels or tires for the Chevrolet Cruze can lead to a deterioration in the level of traffic safety, since these components are directly responsible for the quality of the car’s behavior on the road surface. At best, non-conforming products will result in increased wear of parts and assemblies.

Parameters of trouser nuts - choose correctly

The issue of nuts becomes acute when switching to discs using a different manufacturing method: standard nuts from stampings may not be suitable for forging or casting. Wheel nuts differ only in design and height of the product - and if the height is insignificant, then the seat determines the compatibility of the fixing elements and the safe operation of the vehicle.

It is important to know! For the purpose of aesthetic comfort, it is recommended to choose nuts made of chromium, which are resistant to corrosion and oxidation processes. The steel mounting option will quickly fade, which will worsen the appearance of the disc.

The best option would be to purchase original components, which will prevent the possibility of incompatibility of the product with the vehicle, however, in the case of installing non-standard options, it is necessary to pay attention to the bolt pattern and offset of the disk, as well as the diameter and quality of the mounting holes.

How to choose the right tires for a car - tips from experienced people

When choosing tires for a Chevrolet Cruze, you should pay attention to the intensity of use of the vehicle and the driving style of the motorist. The tire set must provide reliable grip of the vehicle with the road surface, which, in addition to the type and structure of the road surface, is influenced by the technical characteristics of the vehicle. Tires must:

  • To withstand the weight load of the vehicle - the Chevrolet Cruze, depending on the type of body, weighs in the range of 1.3-1.6 tons. If the driver regularly needs to transport a large number of passengers and heavy loads, it is recommended to purchase tires with a maximum load index (680-730 kg).
  • Ensure traction at speed - to prevent wobbling and insufficient grip on the road, you should take into account the speed index indicated on the tires: summer options allow you to develop within 210-210 km/h, winter options - 170-210 km/h. Taking into account the car's maximum speed of 200-210 km/h, depending on the configuration, winter tires should be selected responsibly.
  • Match the size and size of the rims - installing an inappropriate set of tires on a car is a life-threatening action and negatively affects the technical characteristics of the car.

The load and speed indexes, as well as the coefficient of adhesion to the road surface, can be adjusted by adjusting the air pressure in the tire tires. A balance within 0.5-1.5 atmospheres will allow you to adapt the car to the driver’s specific driving style or road characteristics.

What is the optimal tire pressure for a Chevrolet Cruze?

The Chevrolet Cruze can be equipped with several types of tires - 15, 16 or 17 inches with sizes 205/60, 215/50, 205/65 or 225/50.

2.2 bar is the optimal pressure.

Regardless of tire and engine size, vehicle modification and body type, it is recommended to keep the standard tire pressure in the Chevrolet Cruze within 220 kPa (2.2 bar) or 32 pounds per square inch (psi). This applies to both the front and rear wheels of the car.

The spare tire must be maintained at the same pressure as the standard tires.

The pressure in the spare full-size wheel should be kept within the same limits, and the pressure in the temporary spare tire should be maintained at 420 kPa (4.2 bar) or 61 pounds per square inch (psi). In order not to get confused in different pressure designation standards, below is a table that makes it easy to adapt the required pressure to the designations on the scale of the pump, pressure gauge or compressor.

Converting pressure parameters into different units.

Nevertheless, there are cases when it is possible and necessary to deviate from the standards specified by the manufacturer.

Tuning

For a sporty driving style, wide wheels with wide tires are more suitable. They improve road stability and braking. As a result, the driver feels more confident and can accelerate at high speeds.

In addition to bolt patterns, tire pressure can also affect your driving experience on your 2013 Chevrolet Cruze. It is best to check it after a trip, when the car has cooled down, after about 2 hours. The optimal value is 220/2, 2/32.

The bolt pattern for the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze is 5x105. This model does not have bolts that change depending on the year of manufacture. Therefore, tires are interchangeable. From the factory, the car was equipped with 16 or 17 wheels. A radius of 18 is already considered tuning and significantly affects the style of the car.

The 2012 Chevrolet Cruze bolt pattern will not differ from the standard one. To tune this model, you can set the offset to 40 mm, put on wheels with a diameter of 18 and a width of 7.0-7.5. The appearance of the car has already changed significantly.

The 2013 Chevrolet Cruze bolt pattern has the same parameters as previous models. The optimal values ​​for tuning are 18 diameter, 40 mm offset and rim width 7.5.

What wheels are suitable for a Chevrolet Cruze

The Chevrolet company has taken care of the interchangeability of wheels from different cars: stock sizes 6.5*16 are common parameters.

When choosing non-standard disks, it is important to correctly assess the quality of workmanship and service life of the product. You should not purchase low-grade replicas or models from the secondary market - wheels, regardless of the type of material and production method, get microcracks, dents, and aging of the metal during use, which reduces the strength of the product

The operation of used wheels negatively affects the technical characteristics of the vehicle and jeopardizes the safety of the driver and passengers.

It is important to know! If the vehicle has a service warranty, you must consult a dealer service station about the interchangeability of non-standard disks - installing other sizes may violate the warranty obligations and the right to free service.

Used tires – is there a right to life?

Many motorists prefer to purchase used tires, which allows them to significantly save on re-shoeing a vehicle - prices can reach up to half the cost of a new tire at a dealership.

Use of used tires is allowed, but it is important to determine the degree of wear on the tire: insufficient tread depth or exposed cord is a sign of complete unsuitability of the tire. Also, models with visible rubber tears, the presence of “bumps” on the surface of the product, or uneven wear of the coating are not allowed for use.

You should consider the possibility of purchasing a fake or low-quality cut tire - bias slopes are often restored by vulcanizing the rubber and cutting fresh tread onto an old slope with a whole cord. When choosing recycled tires, you should pay attention to the presence of a quality stamp and cutting procedure on the surface of the tire, otherwise the retreading was carried out in artisanal conditions and the product is not suitable for use.

It is important to know! By order of the traffic police, it is allowed to install secondary tires on the rear axle of passenger cars if there are no visible damages and uniform coverage, as well as sufficient tread depth; on the front axle - only primary tires.

Expert advice

When choosing tires for a car, you must first follow the manufacturer's instructions. Ask yourself a few questions.

  • On what roads will the car be primarily used?
  • Do you need increased cross-country ability?
  • How much of the route will be city roads and how much will be highways?
  • Will the vehicle carry heavy loads?

The answers to these and similar questions will help determine which tire parameters you need to pay special attention to.

How to choose the right wheels for Chevrolet Cruze 2015?

3 types of rims:

  • Stamped (economical price category) - made from a sheet of iron by stamping on a press.
  • Light alloy - manufactured by casting (more reliable than stamped ones).
  • Forged (the highest quality and more expensive than the previous ones) - made from light alloys by stamping at high temperatures.

The choice depends on financial capabilities. However, it should be borne in mind that the quality of the road surface on which you have to drive every day must also be taken into account.

So, if it gets into a hole, a stamped disk will bend and will not cause harm to the tire, but a forged or cast one can cut it. There is a possibility that the cast disc may burst or crack.

It should also be noted that repairing “stamping” wheels is cheaper than repairing cast or forged wheels. But wheels with high-quality cast and forged disks kill the suspension less, because lighter and have more perfect geometry (better balanced).

The same wheels may or may not rub with tires on the same car - wheel alignment adjustment will help here.

What is the tire pressure?

It is the driver's responsibility to constantly monitor tire pressure. This will avoid standard problems associated with vehicle operation. An abnormal pressure value often causes:

  • deterioration of management;
  • uneven tread wear.

Often the car owner independently reduces the pressure in the wheels of his own vehicle. This reduces the load on the suspension, and the car “passes” various road irregularities an order of magnitude easier. But it is worth noting: a decrease in pressure even by 0.1 MPa leads to serious problems. The main ones include:

  • increased fuel consumption;
  • rapid wear of the outer tread segments;
  • the car becomes less maneuverable.

An overinflated wheel causes no less problems. The central part of the cylinder begins to wear off quickly. In addition, at ambient temperatures of more than 60 degrees Celsius, the tire may simply explode. Which will lead to driving into the oncoming lane.

Wheel maintenance

To change the wheels on a car, you need to purchase a new set of wheels and tires, as well as mounting bolts. The tools you will need are a jack and a wheel wrench.

After installation, it is recommended to check the tire pressure with a compressor. It is most convenient to use an electric compressor with a pressure gauge that operates from the cigarette lighter. There are different models that differ in power. The larger the wheel diameter, the more power the compressor must have.

Knowing the wheel bolt pattern on a Chevrolet Cruze will help you choose the right wheels for your car. Be careful in the store, as not all discs will fit the hubs; you need to select them according to the hole diameters.

Does the type of material matter or which discs are better?

Car rims also differ in type of manufacture - products are classified into:

Air temperatureResistance, kOhm
-2013-17
5,3-6,7
202,3-3,0
401,0-1,5
600,56-0,76
800,3-0,42

Stamped wheels are a budget option, as they are produced by factory stamping with carbon steel separately from the rim and front part, followed by a welded connection.

After manufacturing, the discs are coated with powder enamel to increase resistance to metal corrosion. The main advantages of stampings are repairability and softness, thanks to which dents on the product can be straightened out yourself.

Cast metals are made by casting molten metal into a prepared die. Alloy wheels are made from light alloy materials: aluminum, titanium or magnesium. This method provides higher strength and corrosion resistance, but reduces the ductility of the product, which increases the fragility of the structure.

According to the law, repairs of cast light alloy products cannot be carried out by welding, and if cracks appear, the discs become unsuitable for use.

Forged - produced by volumetric stamping followed by assembly of a mixture of aluminum with magnesium and titanium. The stamped blank is processed on milling machines and hardened at high temperature. Forged wheels are characterized by high strength and durability, and due to the ductility of hardened metal, they are suitable for restoration.

Prefabricated discs are a rare type of disc, which is associated with the high cost of production. The products are made from versatile titanium alloy structural elements: a separate rim, front part, bolts. Features of the model are exclusivity and variability of appearance, which allows you to fully implement any design solution.

Checking indicators

To check if the tire pressure on your Chevrolet Captiva or Lanos is correct, you need:

  • mechanical pump or compressor;
  • pressure gauge

It is better to take these devices for a long time and spare no expense on them - you will perform a similar procedure quite often.


Compressor with pressure gauge for inflating tires

It is better to take measurements on cooled tires (after driving up to 2 km). This will allow you to get the most accurate data, because the rubber will not have time to heat up the air.

There are basic rules for setting this standard value:

  • the heavier your car, the higher the pressure should be;
  • Different indicators may be observed in the wheels at the back and front - this is normal.

You will have to take this information as a basis and rely exclusively on it - before the Aveo or Lacetti goes into mass production, the plant undergoes thorough testing of the characteristics of the car with different tire inflation rates, which guarantees the provision of accurate data that ensures the most comfortable ride.

Standard tire pressure for Chevrolet Lacetti

After you have looked at the normal value, you can proceed directly to measuring a similar indicator in the Aveo, Cruz or other Chevrolet model. Follow these steps:

  • Unscrew the cap from the tire valve. It is easy to find, since it is located on the surface of the rim and is easily identified during inspection;
  • Use a pressure gauge to measure the tire pressure. During measurement, air should not “poison”, as this contributes to the inaccuracy of the data obtained. When using an electronic type pressure gauge, read its instructions;
  • compare whether the obtained values ​​meet the standard. If they are not equal to each other, then you will need to either pump up or deflate the tires. In order for the air to escape, you need to press the valve. After completing the measurements, tightly screw the cap located on the nipple - it will protect the product from dirt.

Features and characteristics of winter tires for Chevrolet Cruze

According to seasonality, tires are divided into three types:

  • Summer;
  • Winter;
  • Universal or all-season.

Summer tires do not have important requirements for selection and operation. You can choose products of any size and ride safely.

There are certain subtleties with winter ones, since they are also divided into the following several subtypes:

  • Made for use in difficult winters, or Scandinavian. Designed for use in fairly cold and harsh conditions with frequent snowfall and low temperatures. Their tread is made in the form of diamonds, which are arranged in a checkerboard pattern.
  • Created for use in warm winters with sparse precipitation - European ones. They can be used in various conditions with sufficiently warm and dry winters. The tread is made in the form of a “Christmas tree”.
  • Studded tires for snowy winters. Give the car maximum efficiency when driving on icy and snowy road surfaces. They are distinguished by metal studs screwed into the tread, which provide maximum controllability during icy conditions.

On a note!

All-season products are not suitable for use in difficult weather conditions in Russia, since winters here are very cold and there is frequent snowfall.

To obtain maximum performance, it is better to choose tires designed for use in moderate climate conditions.

When choosing tires, you should take into account that for summer and winter they have completely different chemical compositions, which are carried out by the manufacturer for a specific time of year. When the average temperature rises above a certain threshold, winter tires become soft and wear increases greatly. Summer ones harden very strongly at low temperatures.

This is why a quality choice of wheels for winter is extremely important.

We store tires correctly: how to preserve tires for the next season?

Tires should be stored indoors with adequate ventilation away from heat. The permissible temperature conditions at which the product maintains quality varies from -30 to +35 degrees; when it goes beyond comfort, rubber begins to lose its technological characteristics. Tires also need to be protected from ultraviolet rays, moisture and condensation, which contribute to cracking of pores and a decrease in the elasticity of the product. It is necessary to store rubber:

  • At a distance of 1 m from heating elements and direct sunlight;
  • In a vertical position on disks, and in a horizontal position - without structural support;
  • On a flat, non-embossed surface;
  • Away from sources of vibration and temperature changes;
  • Packaged or placed in specialized containers.

It is not advisable to store rubber outdoors for a long time, as this leads to hardening of the outer part of the rubber and delamination of the inner part when the physical characteristics of the atmosphere change: temperature, humidity, wind speed. Also, when storing tires, it is recommended to rotate and turn over from time to time to evenly distribute the static load - the rubber should not be pressed under its own weight.


Storing any type of rubber in this position is unacceptable: the rubber will stretch under the influence of gravity, constantly deforming and losing its technical characteristics. Operating a car on a stretched tire can cause the rubber to fly off the rim at speed, which will negatively affect the entire chassis of the vehicle.

A responsible attitude to the choice of tires for the Chevrolet Cruze will guarantee the safe operation of the vehicle, as well as reduce the wear rate of all vehicle components. High-quality tires, with proper care, will last a couple of hundred thousand kilometers, allowing you to save on car servicing, as well as giving the car comfort and obedience when driving. Greed and neglect of careful choice of tires is a direct saving on your life!

Differences between hatchback and sedan

The popular Chevrolet Lacetti model is available in three body styles: sedan, hatchback and station wagon. They have no difference in drilling parameters. An absolutely identical indicator of 4 × 114.3 is used. This is done for unification, since the same wheels are installed on these cars. This reduces the cost of the production process as there is no need to drill different holes for a specific vehicle. This is also done for the convenience of car owners so that there is no unnecessary confusion.

These modifications differ only in the size and design of the disks themselves, which depend on the configuration chosen at the dealer. Stamped steel products are installed in the base and cast ones in more expensive modifications.

Knowing the drilling parameters for the Chevrolet model range, you can easily select any wheel rims. Maintaining the correct details ensures that the products will fit and conform to factory settings.

Advice to car owners: what can be learned from the tire markings

Tire manufacturers place many identification marks on the tire sidewalls depicting detailed characteristics of the tire. There are many signs, and each manufacturer sets different kinds of factors, but most of them have the same meaning. What may be indicated on the label?

1. Tire manufacturer.

3. 205/60/R16 – tire size designation. For example, the factory setting on a Chevrolet Cruze is (wheel) size 16. The first 3 digits, in this case 205, indicate the tread width in millimeters, measured between the outer sides of the tire. The next 2 digits - 60 - mean the height of the tire profile, which is expressed as a percentage. R16 is the average diameter of the hole in the tire in which the wheel is mounted. The value is measured in inches, the additional marking R indicates a radial tire.

4. Designation of the tire's load-bearing capacity index, expressed using the international index LI (Load Index).

6. The direction of rolling of the tire, used for its correct installation, etc. In total, about 16 symbols can be read on the tire.

This is the question I asked Davich... In general, I took the Cruz on tires that were in the trash. And so I changed the drive seals, manual transmission oil, internal combustion engine oil, ordered the timing belt, rollers, pump and pads and there was a little left to replace the timing belt and... That's it. There is no more money. And I have to go home... But these tires are not varnished. The whole thing is full of hernias, after 100 km/h the Cruze is already throwing up and the steering wheel is being torn out of my hands... And here I am in the “active search” for rubber for my stamps. I had the same tires that the previous owner bought the car on at the dealership. The tires have passed 130,000! Kumho 205/60/16... So, as it turned out, there are not many tires with such parameters on sale. Especially used ones... There is no money for new tires! Even for one tire! Initially I thought of buying the same one that was in the trunk as a spare wheel (a completely new wheel that had never been installed). But it’s worth it... And it’s nowhere to be found)) And time is running out. And now I find winter with parameters 215/55/16. It turned out that it should look cooler than 205/55/16 and the profile height is almost the same.

The only thing that bothered me was the price tag of 2k. Damn too cheap. I put on my shoes, balanced them, took a wheel alignment test, and now, for the first time, I hit 150 km/h on a cruiser))) Previously, it was impossible to do this because of the tires. As it turned out, you can buy wheels for 2,000))) I can make it home))) Why so many books))) I advise you to put 215/55/16 on standard wheels. The profile height is only 5mm less, but the tires are wider, they look better and hold and steer better. So far I've ridden about 150 kilometers on it, but I like it

Chevrolet Lacetti

Each vehicle is designed for a specific drill and tire size. The manufacturer prescribes all the technical characteristics of the vehicle, which can be studied in the service book or on the body pillar on the right side.

Characteristics provided by the manufacturer for Lacetti:

  • 14 / 5.5J PCD 4×114.3 ET 44 CO 56.5;
  • 15 / 6.0J - all other values ​​are repeated

The numbers 14 and 15 indicate the diameter of the disk, which is set at the time of assembly, the next indicator, that is, 4x114.3, is the bolt pattern.

The central hole is 56.5 millimeters, the normal wheel offset is 35-44. The permissible width of the disks is 5.5 - 6.0.

Danger of incorrect bolt pattern

The definition of bolt pattern should not be neglected. It is this that, although indirectly, affects driving safety. If you install wheels without taking into account deviations in any direction, then it will be mounted with inaccuracy along the axis. This, in turn, will not allow you to achieve the desired tightening level.

It is almost impossible to determine whether the bolt pattern was made correctly “by eye”. The consequences of improper installation will be noticeable while driving by the following signs:

  • increased wheel runout;
  • damage to the steering mechanism, suspension;
  • increasing the likelihood of the wheel coming loose.

As you can see, loose bolts have a serious impact on safety and can even lead to an accident.

You can often hear stories among motorists about adjusting the car's characteristics to new wheels whose PCD value is greater than the standard one (the one provided by the automaker). They often use disc centering rings during the installation process. It is worth mentioning the ambiguity of this method, however, many motorists see this as a way out when changing discs.

Value for cars of different generations

If you want to change the appearance of your car or simply choose wheels for summer or winter, you need to approach this responsibly. It is very important to know the correct dimensions and parameters of the machine’s disks, as well as to observe drilling, otherwise the products simply will not install.

In this case:

  • 16 or 17 represents the rim size, measured in inches;
  • 6.5J/7.0J - rim width, also measured in inches;
  • PCD 5×105 - the number of mounting holes and the diameter of the circle of their location, or simply the bolt pattern, measured in millimeters;
  • ET 39/41 - rim offset, in millimeters;
  • CO 56.6 - diameter of the central hole, in millimeters.

For a 1.4 liter engine:

  • The disk size was 16×6.5;
  • Rim offset - 40 mm;
  • Bolt pattern - 5×105;
  • Tire size - 205/60 R16.

Engines of 1.6, 1.7 D, 1.8 liters:

  • The disk size was 16×6.5;
  • Rim offset - 40 mm for 1.6, 41 mm for others;
  • Bolt pattern - 5×105;
  • Tire size - 205/60 R16.

Engines 2.0 CDI, 2.0 D:

  • The disk size was 17×7.0;
  • Rim offset - 41 mm;
  • Bolt pattern - 5×115;
  • Tire size - 215/50 R17.

By correctly taking into account all of the above parameters, you can choose wheels for the Chevrolet Cruze without compromising driving characteristics and handling. In this case, there will be no problems with their installation; all characteristics and parameters will be brought into compliance with factory standards and settings. This is very important in terms of safety.

Car owners who prefer drive while driving are recommended to install products with a larger width. This way you can improve stability and controllability. This will also improve dynamic performance and reduce the braking distance.

It is also necessary to remember that, regardless of the generation of Chevrolet Cruze, the drilling parameters remain unchanged. The factory equipment has only two options for installed disks - R16 and R17. It is possible to set the size to R18, but in this case you need to be careful so that the wheel fits the size of the wheel arches. Increasing the size will have a negative impact on comfort, but will significantly improve handling characteristics.
