5x115 is bmw/benz land including chargers/challengrs/magnum.

RockAuto has oe verano hubs for under $300/pair. Thats still cheap.

I thought that was 5x120 aka 5 on 4.75.

No because the mopar people were using cobra r replica wheels for drag tires.

A ton of the Benz's share the 5x112mm with VW/Audi. BMW is 5x120mm(5x4.75) hence why you can typically put Camaro/Vette wheels on BMW's. The LX Chryslers are the 5x115 pattern, but you should be able to run the 5x114.3 wheels as that's pretty negligible. I can run 4x100's with wobble bolts on my Fiat, and that's 4x98.

Anyway... back to the OPs real issue. 

Your Sonic (and my Cruze) would need the front hub bearings, rotors, calipers and brackets from a Verano or diesel Cruze and possibly front spindles as well as the rear hubs, and complete disc brake assemblies (hub, plate, rotor, mount, caliper, lines, cables) from the later diesel Cruze. 

Now this CAN be done on the cheap at a "deep" salvage yard but they would need to have that diesel Cruze.  

Now the 5x115mm bolt pattern is for all intents and purposes interchangeable with the 5x4.5/5x114.3 wheel. If run SN95 mustang 17x8/9/11.5 wheels on big GM fwd hubs. It's been done. It works. 

Or you can buy simple wheel adapters. 

Personally the Verano turbo brakes are worth the price of admission.

Some engineers should be shot for coming up with 20 different lug patterns and spacing. We all know that they only did that for spite.
