I would love to ask a Chevrolet engineer why they felt in necessary to replace the common 4x100 hubs that every other Sonic on the planet uses with 5x105 for the American market.

I can't think of a single valid reason.

Thank you so much for this !! Really I've been looking into this as well and didn't come up with all of these

So, I've been doing some digging just out of curiosity, and I have some fun news. Chevy has expanded the number of small cars that use the 5x105 PCD, which means more OEM rim options.

Chevy hasn't expanded the number of vehicles that use 5x105 - all these vehicles have been using that same bolt pattern since before you bought your Sonic.

As far as eggsalad's question - a 5 lug wheel is better able to handle higher lateral forces and not develop stress fractures. Also, it is easier to support more weight with more studs, which is why many pickup trucks go from 5 lug to 6 or 8 lug wheels.

So does the USA Sonic experience higher lateral forces than, say, the Thai Sonic, which uses 4x100?

I have no factual information, but I would think that U.S. safety regulations are more stringent than most countries.

Otherwise, I'm sure GM would run the 4x100 as it would reduce costs.

*shrug*
I was specifically referring to the Volt, which used to be 5x115.

There we go. That should be the complete list.
