Is 5×120 the same as 5×4.72?
Yes. 5×120 and 5×4.72 describe the same bolt circle: 5 lugs on 120 mm (4.72 in). Use either notation when comparing wheels.
Can I use wheels with a different bolt pattern on a Chevrolet Impala?
Only with a bolt-on wheel adapter from the vehicle pattern (5×115 or the other recorded pattern) to the wheel pattern. Adapters are directional. Confirm thickness, center bore, thread, stud engagement, clearance, and load rating. Hub swaps and redrilling are not equivalent shortcuts.
What adapter do I need to change from 5×115 to another pattern?
You need a directed adapter whose source pattern is 5×115 and whose target pattern matches the wheels. 5×115 to another circle is not the same as the reverse unless the catalog lists both directions. Pick the target on this page; thickness is not chosen automatically.
What wheel spacers fit this bolt pattern?
Spacers must match the vehicle bolt pattern (5×115 or 5×120). Choose thickness for clearance and offset. Matching the pattern is not a claim that a given spacer fits the vehicle.
Do I need hub-centric rings on a Chevrolet Impala?
Only when the wheel center bore is larger than the vehicle hub. Catalog records show 70.3 mm for the 5×115 variant and 66.9 mm for the 5×120 variant. Rings fill that gap. They do not fix every vibration issue and they do not change bolt pattern.
What hub ring size do I need for a Chevrolet Impala?
The ring is wheel center bore (outer) to vehicle hub (inner). Enter the bore stamped on the wheel. Catalog matches are exact outer and inner millimetres, not nearby sizes.
Can a hub ring make a smaller wheel bore fit a larger hub?
No. A hub ring only fills a wheel bore that is larger than the hub. A smaller wheel bore cannot be opened with a ring.
What lug nuts should I buy for a Chevrolet Impala?
Match the recorded thread. Catalog records show M12 x 1.5 for the 5×115 variant and M14 x 1.5 for the 5×120 variant. Fastener type: lug nuts. Seat style and length are not in this catalog — confirm those on the wheel before ordering.
