Chevrolet Volt Wheels and Rims

Chevrolet Volt Aftermarket Wheel Fitment

The Chevrolet Volt is GM's plug-in hybrid electric compact car, produced from the 2011 model year through 2019. Chevrolet discontinued the Volt after the 2019 model year. The Volt covers two generations on two different platforms with two different bolt patterns. The 1st generation Volt (2011-2015) sat on the GM Delta II PHEV platform and runs 5x115 with a 70.3mm hub bore. The 2nd generation Volt (2016-2019) sat on the GM D2XX small-car platform shared with the same-era Chevrolet Cruze and runs 5x105 with a 56.5mm hub bore. The bolt pattern, the hub bore, and the platform all changed between the two generations. A wheel that fits a 1st gen Volt does not bolt onto a 2nd gen Volt. Element Wheels tracks each generation as its own catalog row. Pick your generation below.

Find Your Chevrolet Volt Generation

Pick your year range to see wheels and rims that fit your specific Volt. The 1st gen and 2nd gen are different platforms with different bolt patterns. Year is the fastest way to identify which Volt you have, since both are 5 lug.

The Chevrolet Volt Bolt Pattern

The 1st generation Volt (2011-2015) runs 5x115 with a 70.3mm hub bore. The lug count is 5, the thread pitch is 12x1.5, and the lug type is a standard tapered nut. 5x115 is the GM compact-car pattern of that era, shared with the same-generation Chevrolet Cruze (2011-2015 first gen) and several other GM small cars. The 70.3mm hub bore is unusual for the 5x115 pattern and is specific to the Delta II PHEV architecture the Volt used.

The 2nd generation Volt (2016-2019) runs 5x105 with a 56.5mm hub bore. The lug count is 5, the thread pitch is 12x1.5. 5x105 is the GM small-car pattern of the post-2015 era, shared with the 2nd generation Chevrolet Cruze (2016-2019), the Chevrolet Sonic, the Chevrolet Bolt, and several European Opel platforms. The bolt pattern, the hub bore, and the platform all changed between the two Volt generations. A wheel that fits a 1st gen Volt will not bolt onto a 2nd gen Volt, and the hub bore difference (70.3mm vs 56.5mm) means even adapter solutions are not straightforward. Year is the fastest way to confirm which Volt you have. Compare across the rest of the Chevrolet lineup at our Chevrolet wheels and rims hub.

Why the Two Volt Generations Are Different Platforms

The 1st gen Volt (2011-2015) launched as a purpose-built PHEV on the GM Delta II PHEV architecture, with the battery pack running down the center tunnel of the chassis. It used a 5x115 bolt pattern and a 70.3mm hub bore. The factory wheel size on the 1st gen was 17 inch, and the design priority was efficiency, which is part of why the factory wheel and tire spec was deliberately narrow.

For the 2016 model year, GM moved the Volt to the D2XX small-car architecture, the same platform underneath the 2nd generation Chevrolet Cruze and several other GM compact cars. The new platform brought a 5x105 bolt pattern, a 56.5mm hub bore, refined suspension, and a longer wheelbase. The 2nd gen kept the 17 inch factory wheel size on most trims with 18 inch as an option on the Premier trim. Chevrolet discontinued the Volt after the 2019 model year as production shifted toward the all-electric Bolt EV. Both Volt generations are tracked in the Element catalog with their own row.

How We Confirm Fitment on Chevrolet Volt Wheels

Element Wheels measures fitment on both Volt generations directly. For the 1st gen Volt that means clearance from the wheel to the fender on the narrower aftermarket sizes, gap between the back of the wheel and the front suspension components on the Delta II PHEV geometry, brake caliper height, hub bore confirmation at 70.3mm, and lug seat depth for the 12x1.5 thread. The 2nd gen Volt gets the same treatment with the 56.5mm hub and the D2XX platform's slightly different brake clearance geometry. At our fitment facility in Chandler, Arizona, the Element Wheels team measures directly on the physical platforms we support. We don't pull specs from manufacturer sheets the way most retailers do.

Every wheel we recommend is backed by our Fitment Guarantee. If a wheel does not fit, we pick up the wheels and refund 100 percent. No risk to you.
