Always verify the specs for your specific vehicle via the door placard or VIN documentation.


Rim size and typical tire setup


The following details describe the wheel dimensions most commonly associated with the 2014 Cruze RS. Use these as a guide when shopping for replacements, but confirm the exact specs on your car.



  • Wheel diameter: 18 inches

  • Typical wheel width: 7.5 inches (on most RS configurations)

  • Tire size commonly paired: 235/45R18

  • Bolt pattern: 5x110 mm

How to confirm the exact specs on your Cruze


To ensure a perfect fit for replacements, verify the exact rim size and related specs on your vehicle using these steps.



  1. Check the door jamb placard for the original wheel and tire specifications (including rim size).

  2. Inspect the tire sidewall; while it shows tire size, it confirms the associated rim size (the rim size is the number after the “R,” e.g., R18 indicates an 18-inch rim).

  3. Look at the wheel itself for stamped size, such as 18x7.5J ET40, which provides width, diameter, and offset values.

  4. Consult the owner’s manual or contact a Chevrolet dealer with your VIN to confirm OEM specs for your exact car.


Once you know your exact size, you can shop confidently for replacements that match load rating and offset requirements to avoid clearance or performance issues.


Summary


For most 2014 Chevy Cruze RS models, the standard rim size is 18 inches in diameter, typically paired with around 235/45R18 tires on a 7.5-inch-wide wheel. Always verify with the vehicle’s placard or VIN-specific documentation, as regional variations or package options can alter the exact size.
