How to Read Wheel Offset & Measurements
Use these two references before ordering: the left diagram shows where each spec (PCD, center bore, offset, width and diameter) is measured on the wheel; the right diagram shows how positive, zero and negative offset shift the wheel face relative to the hub centerline.
ANKUSI Engineering Expert Advice
The Bolt is the awkward one in GM’s line-up when it comes to buying wheels: it uses a 5x105 bolt pattern — the lug pattern almost no shop stocks, because outside GM’s small-car range essentially nothing else uses it. That is the single most important number on this page. A 5x114.3 or 5x110 wheel will not mount, and ANKUSI does not build spacers or adapters to work around a pattern mismatch.
Factory wheel specs are 17x7.0J at ET44, square front and rear, on a 56.6mm center bore with M12x1.5 nuts. That bore is small, so hub-centric machining matters more here than it does on a large-bore SUV. Every ANKUSI wheel for the Bolt is cut to 56.6mm directly rather than shipped oversized with plastic hub rings, which is where most highway-speed vibration complaints on aftermarket EV wheels originate.
Working from that factory number, our Flush Fitment reference of 18x8.0J ET35 moves the outer face roughly 21.7mm further out than OE — 12.7mm of it from the extra inch of width, 9mm from the offset change — while going only 0.15″ deeper inboard (5.73″ backspacing at OE against 5.88″ flush). That small inboard change is why this size clears on a stock or mildly lowered car without liner work. The Maximum Aggressive reference, 19x8.5J ET30, sits about 33mm outboard of stock at 5.93″ backspacing; there the fender lip, not the inner liner, becomes the limit.
Forging is what keeps those figures at the low end of the band — a cast wheel in the same 19x8.5J size needs more material to reach the same 650–750 kg/wheel load reference, and on an EV that weight is paid for twice: once under acceleration, again in regen efficiency.
Recommended starting point
It is the largest step that still keeps backspacing within 0.15″ of factory, needs no suspension or liner work, and holds the efficiency penalty in single digits. See all 5 tiers if you want to stay closer to stock or push further.
Chevrolet Bolt OE Wheel Specs
The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt (EV Hatchback) uses a 5x105 bolt pattern with a 56.6mm center bore. Factory wheels are 17x7.0J at ET44 offset, front and rear.
Why the factory spec works for most owners:
- Balances ride comfort with everyday fuel efficiency
- A widely used size in this segment, so tire and wheel availability stays strong
- Keeps unsprung weight low for stable, predictable handling
- Maintains clearance for the factory brake calipers and suspension components
ANKUSI builds these wheels — we are the forging factory, not a reseller. For the Chevrolet Bolt (2027) we drill the 5x105 pattern and cut the centre bore to 56.6mm on our own CNC line, so the wheel hub-centres on the car with no spacer rings, in whatever diameter, width and offset you specify.
Converting these ET figures to backspacing? Use the wheel offset and backspacing calculator.

Offset & Backspacing Reference
Backspacing is calculated as wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance):
- OE: 17x7.0J ET44 → ~5.73" backspacing
- Flush: 18x8.0J ET35 → ~5.88" backspacing
- Max: 19x8.5J ET30 → ~5.93" backspacing
A Note on Clearance
Final clearance depends on the exact tire model, suspension height, brake package, alignment and vehicle tolerances. A physical test fit is recommended before production.
Want to check a different width or offset before you order? Use our Offset & Backspacing Calculator to solve the numbers yourself, or can't find your exact Chevrolet spec, or want a wheel built to a custom offset for your Chevrolet Bolt? Contact ANKUSI with your bolt pattern and offset target and we'll confirm the correct forged wheel spec for your build.
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Chevrolet Bolt (5x105, 56.6 mm Bore)
In our database, 36 other vehicle entries from 4 makes use exactly the same 5x105 bolt pattern and 56.6 mm center bore. Factory wheels from these cars bolt on and center on the hub without rings; offset and width still have to be checked.
5x105 is used by 0.6% of the vehicle pages in our English fitment guide (37 of 6,503); 100.0% of those also use a 56.6 mm center bore.
Hub-Centric Rings for a 56.6 mm Center Bore
A wheel with a center bore larger than 56.6 mm needs a hub-centric ring. The most common combinations:
| Wheel bore | Ring size |
|---|---|
| 57.1 mm | 57.1 → 56.6 mm |
| 60.1 mm | 60.1 → 56.6 mm |
| 63.4 mm | 63.4 → 56.6 mm |
| 64.1 mm | 64.1 → 56.6 mm |
| 73.1 mm | 73.1 → 56.6 mm |
ANKUSI forged wheels are bored to exactly 56.6 mm for this vehicle, so no ring is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
What bolt pattern (PCD) does the Chevrolet Bolt use?
The 2027 Chevrolet Bolt uses a 5x105 bolt pattern.
How many lug bolts does the Chevrolet Bolt use?
The Chevrolet Bolt uses a 5-lug bolt pattern (5x105), so you need a 5-lug forged wheel to bolt straight on.
What is the center bore size on the Chevrolet Bolt?
The Chevrolet Bolt's center bore is 56.6mm. If an aftermarket wheel has a larger center bore than this, hub-centric rings are recommended so the wheel centers on the hub itself rather than relying on the lug bolts alone.
What size are the factory (stock) wheels on the Chevrolet Bolt?
Factory wheels on the Chevrolet Bolt are 17x7.0J at ET44 offset, front and rear.
What is the biggest wheel size I can fit on my Chevrolet Bolt without rubbing?
The most aggressive fitment we recommend without fender work is 19x8.5J at ET30 offset. Going beyond this typically causes rubbing under compression unless you roll the fenders or add camber correction.
What does a flush wheel fitment look like on the Chevrolet Bolt?
For a flush look with minimal to no rubbing, we recommend 18x8.0J at ET35 offset as a starting point on a stock or mildly lowered Chevrolet Bolt.
Do I need wheel spacers for my Chevrolet Bolt?
No. ANKUSI forges each wheel to your exact target offset, including the flush or max specs above, so you get the correct fitment without stacking spacers. Spacers are typically only used to push out an existing OE-offset wheel without replacing it, which isn't necessary when you're ordering a custom-offset forged wheel.
How do I calculate wheel backspacing for my Chevrolet Bolt?
Backspacing (in inches) = wheel width (in) ÷ 2 + offset (mm) ÷ 25.4 + 0.5 (flange allowance). For example, the flush spec above works out to roughly 5.88" of backspacing.
What's the difference between wheel offset and backspacing?
Offset is the distance in millimeters from the wheel's true centerline to its mounting face (positive offset pulls the wheel in, negative pushes it out). Backspacing is the distance in inches from the mounting face to the back edge of the wheel barrel. They describe the same fitment from two different reference points, which is why ANKUSI lists both above — some shops and tuning guides quote offset, others quote backspacing.
Can I run staggered wheels (different sizes front and rear) on my Chevrolet Bolt?
The Chevrolet Bolt runs the same wheel size front and rear from the factory, so staggered fitment is not required. ANKUSI can still forge a staggered set (wider rear) on request if you want a more aggressive stance.
Wheel Installation Reference: Torque, Thread & TPMS
Thread & Fastener: M12x1.5, conical-seat lug nut.
Factory Torque Spec: 136 Nm (100 ft-lb). Covers most Chevrolet passenger cars and crossovers on M12 studs.
TPMS: TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) has been federally mandated on all new light vehicles sold in the US since the 2008 model year. If your wheels use OE-style sensors, have them transferred or cloned to the new wheels at installation.
Tire Pressure: Always set tire pressure to the value on your vehicle's tire placard (driver's doorjamb or glovebox), not the max PSI printed on the tire sidewall — this is trim- and tire-size-specific and stays the same reference point when you switch to a different wheel and tire combination.
Reference data compiled from published OEM service specifications and cross-checked against independent repair sources; always confirm against your owner's manual or door-jamb placard before installation.
