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 Sonic Sedan's factory wheel spec reflects a deliberate balance between comfort, steering feel and durability that the engineering team tuned for. Forging lets ANKUSI match that same strength target while trimming rotational mass — the part of a wheel upgrade that actually changes how the car drives, not just how it looks.
The Chevrolet Sonic Sedan runs a 5x105 bolt pattern, 56.6mm center bore, and a 17x6.5J, front and rear, wheel from the factory. Our Flush Fitment reference is 18x7.5J ET30, which tucks the tire under the fender lip on a stock-height Chevrolet Sonic Sedan. Our Maximum Aggressive reference is 19x8.0J ET28 — beyond that offset, expect rubbing against the inner fender liner under compression without further trimming.
Chevrolet Sonic Sedan OE Wheel Specs
The 2017 Chevrolet Sonic Sedan (Sedan) uses a 5x105 bolt pattern with a 56.6mm center bore. Factory wheels are 17x6.5J F/R.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Keeps the factory ride quality and noise levels intact
- A common fitment for this class, so replacement tires are easy to source
- Preserves clearance around the OE brakes and suspension geometry
- Delivers predictable, easy-to-live-with handling for daily use
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Chevrolet Sonic Sedan (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.

Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 17x6.5J ET39 → ~5.29″ backspacing
- Flush: 18x7.5J ET30 → ~5.43″ backspacing
- Max: 19x8.0J ET28 → ~5.6″ backspacing
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 Sonic Sedan? 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 Sonic Sedan use?
The 2017 Chevrolet Sonic Sedan uses a 5x105 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Chevrolet Sonic Sedan use?
The Chevrolet Sonic Sedan 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 Sonic Sedan?
The Chevrolet Sonic Sedan'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 Sonic Sedan?
Factory wheels on the Chevrolet Sonic Sedan are 17x6.5J F/R.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Chevrolet Sonic Sedan without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 19x8.0J at ET28 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 Sonic Sedan?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 18x7.5J at ET30 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Chevrolet Sonic Sedan.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Chevrolet Sonic Sedan?
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 Sonic Sedan?
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 5.43" 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 Sonic Sedan?
The Chevrolet Sonic Sedan 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.
