| 16 inches | 205/65R16 | 6.5-7.5" | +30 to +45mm | Stock size, best comfort |
| 17 inches | 215/55R17 | 7.0-8.0" | +30 to +42mm | Mild upgrade, sportier look |

Owners have developed several proven configurations:
The 5x105 bolt pattern is used exclusively by GM on small-car platforms: Chevrolet Cruze, Sonic, and Buick Encore. More limited aftermarket than common patterns.
Cross-compatible vehicles with 5x105: Chevrolet Cruze, Chevrolet Sonic, Buick Encore, Buick Encore GX. GM-specific pattern.
Offset is the distance from the wheel's mounting face to the centerline. The Trax's stock offset of +37mm positions the wheel within the fender well.
Going more positive: Going more positive (+42mm or higher) keeps the wheel conservative inside the fender.
Going more negative: Going more negative (+28mm or lower) pushes the wheel outward. The compact body means even small changes are visually noticeable.
Safe range for 2024 Trax: +28mm to +45mm for all configurations. Tight clearances throughout.
Stock clearance: Moderate. About 1.2 inches of clearance to the fender.
What fits without modifications: 215/55R17 or 225/50R17 fit without modifications.
What requires modification: The Trax is not a common modification platform. Stick to recommended sizes.
