Chevrolet Volt wheel specs by year and trim
| Year | Model / trim | Bolt pattern | Center bore | OE wheel |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2016 | Chevrolet Volt | 5x105 | 56.6 mm | 17x7.0J |
| 2011 | Chevrolet Volt | 5x115 | 70.3 mm | 17x7.0J |
Factory wheel sizes on the Chevrolet Volt
Across the 2 Chevrolet Volt trims with a documented factory wheel, the OE diameter is 17 inch, width 7J. A forged wheel that keeps the bolt pattern and hub bore of your generation (see the table above) and matches the factory offset listed on the model page bolts on without spacers or hub rings. Going one inch up in diameter with a lower-profile tyre keeps the rolling circumference inside the usual 1.5% tolerance; every extra 0.5J of width moves the outer lip about 6 mm outward at the same offset, and each 5 mm less offset moves the whole wheel 5 mm outward.
Vehicles With the Same Hub as the Chevrolet Volt (5x105, 56.6 mm Bore)
In our database, 21 other vehicle entries from 3 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.
Offset and Backspacing: Factory Wheel vs Options
Backspacing ≈ width/2 + ET/25.4 + 0.5 in. "Inward" means closer to the suspension; "outward" means closer to the fender lip.
| Setup | Size | ET | Backspacing | Inward vs OE | Outward vs OE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Factory (OE) | 17x7J | ET44 | 5.73 in (146 mm) | — | — |
| Flush | 18x8J | ET35 | 5.88 in (149 mm) | +4 mm | +22 mm |
| Maximum | 19x8.5J | ET32 | 6.01 in (153 mm) | +7 mm | +31 mm |
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.

FAQ
What is the bolt pattern on a Chevrolet Volt?
The Chevrolet Volt uses a 5x105 bolt pattern on most variants we cover with a 56.6mm center bore. Other generations use 5x115 / 70.3mm (2011–2011). Always check the exact year and trim before ordering.
What is the Chevrolet Volt center bore?
The hub-centric center bore is 56.6 mm on the most common generation; see the table for variants. Aftermarket wheels should match this bore or use hub-centric rings so the hub, not the bolts, carries the load.
Do all Chevrolet Volt years share the same wheel fitment?
No. The bolt pattern or center bore changed between generations, so wheels are not interchangeable across all years. Use the year-by-year table on this page to pick the right specification.
Which forged wheels fit the Chevrolet Volt?
Any wheel drilled 5x105 with a 56.6mm hub bore in the offset range shown on the model guide. ANKUSI forges wheels to order for this exact specification, in 14–24 inch diameters, so no adapters or hub rings are needed.
