    I was reading through the whole thread and no one seems to point out the various effects of using wrong PCD wheels on the Cruze.

    1. Wheels (rims, mag(nesium) wheels, aluminum wheels, alloy wheels) are sold with specific PCDs which match the car's hub PCD.
    2. A wheel is centered on the hub via the central bore - the center hole of the wheel matching with the center of the hub. There should be no play (alog) here.
    3. The Pitch Circle Diameter is the diameter where the center of all the studs are aligned to.
    4. Lug Nuts are made with a conical base that also helps center the wheel to the hub.
    5. 105mm is not equal to 108mm

    Obviously there are safety issues with using wheels with non matching PCDs to the hub. This creates stress to the studs and as the lug nuts are not seated 100% into the wheel, it gives undue stress to the wheel itself.

    The center bore of the wheel should also be the same size as the hub or else you can end up with a non centered wheel and at certain speeds feel like you have an oval tyre.

    If Chevy offers these wrong wheels for the Cruze, then they certainly are putting the safety of the vehicle and its occupants at risk. My guess is that Chevrolet may have installed these wheels for show purposes only and not for real driving conditions.

    On the other hand, there is what is called a Variation Nut or Variation Lug Nut or Wobble Nut.


    These allow you to install wrong PCD wheels to a hub since it has a floating cone that seats perfectly with the holes of your wheels. A variation such as 3mm can easily be resolved by using these nuts.

    A final note: Lug nuts are not supposed to be over-tightened. Tightening torques for these nuts are usually between 45lb/ft to 90lb/ft depending on the make of the car. Over-tightening does not increase safety. Over-tightening of these nuts can cause wheel studs to shear or break. That is why cars come with tire wrenches which are no more than a foot long. Put your weight onto it and it's more than enough to tighten it within spec.
