Common questions
What bolt pattern does the Chevrolet Malibu have?
The modern Malibu has changed pattern twice: the V–VII (1997–2012) are 5×110 on a 65.1 mm hub, the VIII (2012–2015) switched to 5×120 on a 67.1 mm hub with M14×1.5 bolts, and the current IX (2016 on) moved again to 5×115 on a 70.3 mm hub, back to M12×1.5. Check the table above for your exact generation, and confirm against a wheel or the owner's handbook before buying.
Will other wheels fit my Malibu?
Only wheels with exactly the same bolt pattern — bolt pattern has no working tolerance. The centre bore must also be equal to or larger than the hub (a larger bore just needs spigot rings). A different pattern needs bolt-on adapters, which also push the wheel outward and change the track.
What is the centre bore on a Malibu?
70.3 mm on the current car — earlier generations may differ, see the table. The bore is the hole in the middle of the wheel; it has to clear the hub spigot or sit on a spigot ring.
Bolt pattern is only part of fitment. The offset (ET) decides where the wheel sits in the arch — work that out with the wheel offset calculator. For tyre sizing on a new wheel width, use the tire size calculator.
