Chevrolet Equinox Wheels and Rims

Chevrolet Equinox Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

The Chevrolet Equinox is Chevy's compact crossover and one of the higher volume crossover platforms in our catalog. It is on its fourth generation, with two different bolt patterns across the four eras. The 1st gen (2005-2009), the 3rd gen (2018-2024), and the current 4th gen (2025 and up) all run 5x115 with a 70.3mm hub bore. The 2nd gen (2010-2017) is the exception: those Equinoxes ran 5x120 with a 66.9mm hub bore and a unique M14x1.5 thread instead of the M12x1.5 used everywhere else. The two patterns look close on paper but they do not cross. Element Wheels tracks Equinox fitment by generation. The factory configuration is square (same width front and rear) on every generation.

Pick your year range to see wheels and rims that fit your specific Equinox. The 2nd gen 5x120 platform is the one that does not interchange with the rest of the lineup. Every other generation runs 5x115. Confirm your year before ordering.

The Chevrolet Equinox Bolt Pattern

The Equinox has used two combinations of bolt pattern and hub bore across its four generations. The 1st gen (2005-2009) runs 5x115 with a 70.3mm hub bore and an M12x1.5 thread. The 2nd gen (2010-2017) changed to 5x120 with a 66.9mm hub bore and an M14x1.5 thread, the only Equinox generation that uses the larger M14 lug thread. The 3rd gen (2018-2024) returned to 5x115 with 70.3mm hub bore and M12x1.5 thread. The 4th gen (2025 and up) continues the 5x115 / 70.3mm / M12x1.5 spec. The lug count is 5 across every generation.

The 5x115 and 5x120 patterns look similar at a glance but they do not cross. The bolt circle is 5mm larger on the 2nd gen (120mm versus 115mm), the hub bore is smaller (66.9mm versus 70.3mm), and the lug thread is larger (M14x1.5 versus M12x1.5). A 2010-2017 Equinox wheel and a 2018 and up Equinox wheel are not interchangeable even though they look very close. If you are buying for the 2010-2017 generation, you also need M14 lug nuts (not the M12 lug nuts the rest of the lineup uses). Compare across the rest of the Chevrolet lineup at our Chevrolet wheels and rims hub.

Why the 2010-2017 Equinox Needs Its Own Wheel Spec

The 2nd gen Equinox sat on GM's Theta platform alongside the GMC Terrain, the Cadillac SRX, and the Saab 9-4X. GM specced 5x120 (the European-style bolt pattern shared with BMWs and several Saabs) on the Theta platform vehicles of that era, paired with a smaller 66.9mm hub bore and the larger M14x1.5 lug thread. The 1st gen Equinox before it was 5x115, and the 3rd gen Equinox after it returned to 5x115, so the 2010-2017 generation sits on its own bolt pattern island within the Equinox lineup. This is the single most common Equinox fitment mistake we see at the shop. A customer reads a forum post that says "the Equinox is 5x115," orders accordingly, and the 2nd gen wheel does not bolt on.

One note on the 4th gen Equinox and the Equinox EV. The current generation launched for the 2025 model year on GM's gas-engine compact crossover platform, and the Equinox EV launched alongside it as a battery-electric variant on the BEV3 platform. Both carry the Equinox name. The wheel hub spec on the gas Equinox is 5x115 / 70.3mm / M12x1.5, the same as the 1st and 3rd generation. The Equinox EV uses a different chassis underneath even though it shares the model name. If you are shopping for an Equinox EV specifically, use our Year/Make/Model search by selecting the EV trim explicitly so the catalog returns the right fitment for your vehicle.

How We Confirm Fitment on Chevrolet Equinox Wheels

Element Wheels measures fitment on the platforms we sell wheels for, including every Equinox generation back to 2005. For the Equinox that means clearance from the wheel to the fender, gap between the back of the wheel and the suspension, brake caliper height, hub protrusion past the centerbore (70.3mm on 1st, 3rd, and 4th gen, 66.9mm on 2nd gen), and lug seat depth across the M12 and M14 thread variants. At our fitment facility in Chandler, Arizona, the Element Wheels team measures directly on the physical platforms we support. We don't pull specs from manufacturer sheets the way most retailers do.

Every wheel we recommend is backed by our Fitment Guarantee. If a wheel does not fit, we pick up the wheels and refund 100 percent. No risk to you.
