The manufacturer specifies that the 2004 Chevy Cavalier has a wheel bolt pattern of 5 X 100 mm or 4 inches. This bolt pattern is identified by two numbers on each vehicle. The first number indicates the number of bolts on the wheel, with 5 being the most common. The second number represents the diameter created by the bolt pattern, in this case, 100. Some American manufacturers may express these measurements in inches. These numbers are crucial if you want to purchase new rims for your car as they need to match the correct bolt pattern for them to fit properly on the lug studs. Having more lugs or bolts on the axle enhances the strength of the tires and allows them to support heavier loads.
