For most Chevrolet Cruze models, wheel lug nuts use M12 x 1.5 threads with a 19mm hex head, and the wheel bolt pattern is 5x105 mm. This article explains the standard size, notes possible variations by year and market, and how to confirm on your specific vehicle.
While these specs cover the vast majority of Cruzes, there can be regional or model-year differences. To ensure a precise fit, check your owner’s manual, the vehicle’s paperwork, or measure the studs and lug nuts on your wheels. When in doubt, consult a dealership or a trusted tire shop.
Key lug-nut specs for the Cruze
Below is a concise summary of the common lug-nut specifications you’ll encounter on the Cruze. Use these as a starting point, but verify against your exact vehicle version.
- Thread size and pitch: M12 x 1.5

In practice, the listed specs apply to most Cruze models, but you should confirm by checking the specific wheel-lug nut configuration for your vehicle using its VIN, owner’s manual, or the wheel manufacturer's spec sheet. If you need exact replacement parts, take a sample nut to a parts counter or measure with a lug-nut gauge.
How to verify on your Cruze
- Consult the owner's manual or the tire/wheel documentation for the exact lug-nut spec for your model year and market.

- If in doubt, bring the wheel or lug nuts to a parts counter or service advisor for confirmation.
Verifying these details helps prevent damage to wheels and hubs and ensures safe, proper torque when tightening.
