Don't really think the hub adapter is necessary, once you cinch and torque the lug nuts down (to 100 ft/lbs) the wheels become lug-centric vs. hub-centric anyway. I have the hub adapters on my winter wheels... I think they really only make initial fitment on the rotor/hub easier.

While not totally necessary, they aid in making sure the wheels are centered properly. Without the adapter, wheels should be tightened and torqued OFF the ground. A lot of people forget that part. The adapter makes it a bit easier and more "foolproof"

Purchased the DRAG DR-33 17x7.5 5-105.00/110.00 42 BKGLXX (There are two versions, the one I listed is the one I got)
From America's Tire ITEM:13800

Wheel Weight: 17lbs.

Lightest Tire I picked out was:
Hankook
Ventus V12 evo2 K120

Tire Weight: 22lbs.

Alot less of tire chipping now, if any, and handles much better overall. Ok in the rain, just don't go crazy, they are summer tires.

Attached are rendering and final install pics:

Love it! Some calipercovers.com would absolutely set this BOLT on fire. I love mine, but they aren't cheap. Stamped with a high quality aluminum and installed w/o any surprises. No affiliation by the way, just a little 'been there done that' for ya.

MGP Caliper Covers now available for Bolt EV

FYI: I now have MGP Caliper Covers available for the Bolt on EV-MODS in the brake section.

Hi All, I'm going to get some steel wheels for winter snow tires. Do I need to put the TPMS in them? Will the car beep continuously at me if I don't? Thanks.

 

[hatchy]

FYI drag's 17 pounders are not. Weigh them yourself and see. Not hatin just mention it to clarify for potential buyers in the thread.

My Bolt is looking pretty good now with tinted windows and Konig Crown wheels. Shoulda washed the car before taking pics though-

Found this Bolt picture in a Bolt facebook group. I have the same wheels on my Volt. 17x8 et45 16.2lbs each.
I find them pretty nice on the Bolt. Would look even better slightly lowered.

Love those wheels for the Bolt and looking to get the same. What size tires are on this car? What size do you run?

What size tire are you running?

Don't get those energy saver jelly donuts.. They cant keep up with the car performance.
Get Nokian WRG4 and your car will drive like a corvette

On the Bolt its the stock size 215/50/17 and on my Volt I also have stock size 215/55/17.
If you want more traction and keep the stock diameter you can go 235/45/17.

evmods has 245/45/17 installed on his car. Very meaty. Lots of grip, but you will lose lots of range, especially with R compound tires. evmods would be able to tell you how much range he loses with that tire setup.

Looks so nice with coilovers

 

[quirkySquirt]

How does evmods avoid damaging the wheel arch trim when going over bumps? That clearance between tire and trim looks a bit small.

You would have to ask him directly. But with any low car, wheel offset is critical and suspension setup like camber. He has coilovers from BC coilovers. You can order with custom spring rates. You can also adjust preload, rebound-compression. I'm sure he has high spring rate and shock valving adjusted stiffer. Those shocks have 30 clicks adjustable dampening. I think they also come with camber plates.

Just got some Fastwheels FC04s. 17x8 et45 with 235/45r17 General G-Max RS tires. This combo comes in at 39.4 lbs, 6.7 lbs lighter than OEM.

WARNING: this is an extremely close fit and does require a small spacer. With no spacer the tire just touches the strut, so I machined some 2mm spacers and now have exactly 2mm clearance to the strut. With a 225 or OEM 215 width tire everything should clear just fine with no spacers. Also, different brands and models have different section widths for the same size so some 235s may be fine, others marginal (like the G-Max RS) and others will definitely rub (Hankook RS4).

 

[chris101]

^ did you need spacers at all 4 corners or just the front or just the rear?

 

[zbrown]

Technically I only needed them for the front, but I used them on all 4.

Has anyone been having problems with the LCA radar that I read about in one of the other threads?

As soon as I switched from the OEM wheels I started getting all kinds of false triggers with blind spot detection. After applying some aluminum tape around the sensor and inside of the rear bumper it is now very reliable no matter what wheels I have in the car.
