How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
The Chevrolet Trax's factory suspension tuning already accounts for a specific unsprung mass target. Forged construction lets ANKUSI match the factory strength spec while keeping rotational weight down, which is where the real handling benefit comes from on a taller, heavier SUV platform.
The Chevrolet Trax runs a 5x105 bolt pattern, 56.6mm center bore, and a 18x7.0J, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 19x8.0J ET30, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Chevrolet Trax. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 20x8.5J ET25 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Chevrolet Trax OE Wheel Specs
The 2017 Chevrolet Trax (SUV) uses a 5x105 bolt pattern with a 56.6mm center bore. Factory wheels are 18x7.0J F/R.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Supports the vehicle's curb weight and load capacity
- Preserves ground clearance for everyday and light off-road use
- Balances ride comfort with cargo and passenger stability
- Maintains clearance for the factory suspension travel and brake package
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Chevrolet Trax (2017) we drill the 5x105 pattern and cut the centre bore to 56.6mm on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.
Converting these ET figures to backspacing? Use the wheel offset and backspacing calculator.
The figures on this page are part of our open wheel fitment dataset — 10,093 vehicles, free to download, CC BY 4.0.
Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 18x7.0J ET38 → ~5.5″ backspacing
- Flush: 19x8.0J ET30 → ~5.68″ backspacing
- Max: 20x8.5J ET25 → ~5.73″ backspacing
A Note on Clearance
Final clearance depends on the exact tire model, suspension height, brake package, alignment and vehicle tolerances. A physical test fit is recommended before production.
Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or looking for your exact Chevrolet spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Chevrolet Trax? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we will confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Chevrolet Trax use?
The 2017 Chevrolet Trax uses a 5x105 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Chevrolet Trax use?
The Chevrolet Trax uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x105), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Chevrolet Trax?
The Chevrolet Trax's center bore is 56.6mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than this, hub-centric rings are recommended so the wheel centers on the hub itself rather than relying on the lug bolts alone.
What size are the factory (stock) wheels on the Chevrolet Trax?
Factory wheels on the Chevrolet Trax are 18x7.0J F/R.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Chevrolet Trax without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 20x8.5J at ET25 offset. Going beyond this typically causes rubbing under compression unless you roll the fenders or add camber correction.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Chevrolet Trax?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 19x8.0J at ET30 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Chevrolet Trax.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Chevrolet Trax?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Chevrolet Trax?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 5.68" of backspacing.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Chevrolet Trax?
The Chevrolet Trax runs the same wheel size front and rear from the factory, so staggered fitment is not required. ANKUSI can still forge a staggered set (wider rear) on request if you want a more aggressive stance.
Wheel Installation Reference: Torque, Thread & TPMS
Thread & Fastener: M12x1.5, conical-seat lug nut.
Factory Torque Spec: 136 Nm (100 ft-lb). Covers most Chevrolet passenger cars and crossovers on M12 studs.
TPMS: TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) has been federally mandated on all new light vehicles sold in the US since the 2008 model year. If your wheels use OE-style sensors, have them transferred or cloned to the new wheels at installation.
Tire Pressure: Always set tire pressure to the value on your vehicle's tire placard (driver's doorjamb or glovebox), not the max PSI printed on the tire sidewall — this is trim- and tire-size-specific and stays the same reference point when you switch to a different wheel and tire combination.
Reference data compiled from published OEM service specifications and cross-checked against independent repair sources; always confirm against your owner's manual or door-jamb placard before installation.
