GarageCalc Where 5x105 is used
5x105 appears on 10 vehicles from 4 makes in this list: Chevrolet accounts for 5, Opel / Vauxhall for 3 and Buick for 1. The earliest fitment here is the Chevrolet Cruze from 2009, and none of the listed models still use it, so this is a pattern you meet on used vehicles.
What else has to match
A matching bolt pattern is the first of four checks, not the last. The wheel's center bore has to match the hub, or be bridged with a hub-centric ring, so the hub carries the wheel instead of the studs. The offset decides whether the tire clears the suspension and stays inside the fender; run the numbers in the wheel offset calculator before buying. And the lug seats must match the wheel: conical, ball or flat seats are not interchangeable even when the thread is. None of those values are fixed by 5x105 itself, so check them per vehicle.
Frequently asked questions
What is 5x105 in inches?
5x105 is 5x4.13 in inches: 5 lugs on a 4.13 inch circle (105 mm divided by 25.4). It is the same pattern in different units, but this one is almost always written in millimeters; the inch figure only shows up in conversion charts.
What cars have a 5x105 bolt pattern?
Chevrolet Cruze (2009-2019), Chevrolet Sonic (2012-2020), Buick Encore (2013-2022), Chevrolet Trax (2015-2022), Chevrolet Bolt EV (2017-2023), Chevrolet Bolt EUV (2022-2023), Opel / Vauxhall Astra J (2010-2015), Opel / Vauxhall Astra K (2016-2021), Opel / Vauxhall Mokka (2012-2019), Holden Cruze (2009-2016). Always confirm on your own vehicle: the pattern can change between generations, trims and markets.
Is 5x105 the same as 5x108?
No. 5x108 is 3 mm larger in diameter. That is enough to seat every lug off-center, so the wheel is held by the lug hardware rather than by matching geometry and can work loose. Fit only wheels that are exactly 5x105, or hub-centric wheels with wobble bolts made for that specific mismatch.
