A Chevrolet Cavalier (1982–2005) uses a 5x100 PCD and a centre bore of 57.1 mm.
Any wheel must match the vehicle's PCD exactly: there is no tolerance, unless you use a PCD adapter.
Centre bore: the wheel must have a centre bore of 57.1 mm or more. If it is larger (as with most aftermarket wheels), add a hub centric ring wheel centre bore → 57.1 mm.
Offset: the original is ET42. 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.
Vehicles with the same PCD and centre bore
Same 5x100 PCD and same 57.1 mm centre bore: wheels from these vehicles bolt on and centre on a Chevrolet Cavalier without rings. Offset, width, diameter and caliper clearance still need checking.
Will wheels from another vehicle fit your Cavalier?
Choose the vehicle the wheels come from: we compare the hub, then each original wheel to the millimetre.
Same PCD, different centre bore
These vehicles also use 5x100 but with a different centre bore: their wheels need a hub centric ring if their centre bore is larger than 57.1 mm, and will not fit if it is smaller.
A Chevrolet Cavalier (1982–2005) has a PCD of 5x100: 5 studs or bolts spaced around a circle 100 mm in diameter.
Does a Chevrolet Cavalier need a hub centric ring?
The centre bore (hub diameter) of a Chevrolet Cavalier is 57.1 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 Cavalier?
The recorded original offset is ET42. 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 Cavalier?
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 Cavalier?
With the same PCD (5x100) and the same centre bore (57.1 mm), these include: Chevrolet Beretta, Chevrolet Corsica, MG Astor, Skoda Fabia IV. Offset, width and rim diameter still need checking for each vehicle.
