The wheel mounting configuration for the 2006 Chevrolet Monte Carlo is a 5x115mm arrangement. This specification indicates that each wheel is secured to the vehicle’s hub by five bolts positioned on a circle with a diameter of 115 millimeters. Adherence to this precise measurement is crucial for ensuring proper wheel fitment and safe operation.
Correct wheel installation, predicated on matching the specified configuration, provides several benefits. These include even distribution of load across the wheel studs, prevention of vibration during driving, and assurance of structural integrity. Historically, this configuration has been a common choice for General Motors vehicles, reflecting a design standard aimed at balancing performance and reliability. Deviating from this specified configuration can lead to compromised handling, potential damage to the vehicle’s hub, and an increased risk of wheel detachment.
