A Chevrolet Malibu (1964–1983) uses a 5x120.65 or 5x115 or 5x110 PCD and a centre bore of 70.3 or 65.1 mm. Any wheel must match the vehicle's PCD exactly: there is no tolerance, unless you use a PCD adapter.

  • PCD: 5x120.65 or 5x115 or 5x110 required. See all vehicles with 5x120.65.
  • 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 ET40 to 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 -, tightened to 135 Nm. The nuts or bolts must have the same seat (conical, spherical or flat) as the wheel.
