Fitting wheels on a Chevrolet Alero

A Chevrolet Alero (1998–2001) uses a 5x115 PCD and a centre bore of 70.3 mm. Any wheel must match the vehicle's PCD exactly: there is no tolerance, unless you use a PCD adapter.

PCD: 5x115 required. See all vehicles with 5x115.
Centre bore: the wheel must have a centre bore of 70.3 mm or more. If it is larger (as with most aftermarket wheels), add a hub centric ring wheel centre bore → 70.3 mm.
Offset: the original is ET43. Compare your future wheel with the offset calculator (your vehicle is already selected) to see how many millimetres further in or out it will sit.
Fixings: thread Ecrous - 12x1.50, tightened to 135 Nm. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.
Tyres: original fitment is 215/60R15. For another size, check the diameter difference with the equivalence calculator (under 3 % recommended).

Vehicles with the same PCD and centre bore

Same 5x115 PCD and same 70.3 mm centre bore: wheels from these vehicles bolt on and centre on a Chevrolet Alero without rings. Offset, width, diameter and caliper clearance still need checking.

Same PCD, different centre bore

These vehicles also use 5x115 but with a different centre bore: their wheels need a hub centric ring if their centre bore is larger than 70.3 mm, and will not fit if it is smaller.

Frequently asked questions

What is the PCD of a Chevrolet Alero?

A Chevrolet Alero (1998–2001) has a PCD of 5x115: 5 studs or bolts spaced around a circle 115 mm in diameter.

Does a Chevrolet Alero need a hub centric ring?

The centre bore (hub diameter) of a Chevrolet Alero is 70.3 mm. A wheel with a larger centre bore is fitted with a hub centric ring that brings it down to the hub diameter. A wheel with a smaller centre bore cannot be fitted.

What offset (ET) for a Chevrolet Alero?

The recorded original offset is ET43. A lower ET pushes the wheel outwards, a higher ET pulls it inwards: check wheel well and caliper clearance before making any change.

What tightening torque for the wheels of a Chevrolet Alero?

The specified tightening torque is 135 Nm for Ecrous - 12x1.50 fixings. Tighten in a criss-cross pattern with a torque wrench and check the tightness again after about fifty kilometres.

Which vehicles have the same PCD as a Chevrolet Alero?

With the same PCD (5x115) and the same centre bore (70.3 mm), these include: Chevrolet Volt, Chevrolet Orlando, Chevrolet Cruze Diesel, Chevrolet Captiva. Offset, width and rim diameter still need checking for each vehicle.
