I'm looking at the following:

2011-2017 16x6.5 Chevrolet Cruze Steel Wheel
http://https//www.roadreadywheels.com//products/2011-2017-16x6-5-chevrolet-cruze-steel-wheel-rim

Blizzak WS90 215/55R16
https://tires.costco.com/Product?ItemNo=1333100

It looks like this will give me very close to stock sizing. The biggest difference is going from a 44mm to a 39mm offset.
https://www.wheel-size.com/calc/?wheel1=215-50-17X6.5ET44&wheel2=215-55-16X6ET39&fcl=50mm&wcl=30mm&scl=50mm&sr=0mm

Plus aftermarket TPMS sensors and a relearn tool.

This comes in at around the same overall cost as just the tires on my stock wheels, and I won't have to go to the you're shop twice a year to change them. I'm fine with swapping then myself and doing the relearn.

Any reason this won't work, any problems or downsides I'm missing? Thanks in advance.
 
In 2018 I bought Blizzak WS80, 16" aluminum rim from Tirerack. I've been using them on every Bolt we've owned since then.

I bought a Sonic spare tire and it fits in the trunk under the partition, I put in an inflator and tire iron with scissor jack also.
 
We are using aftermarket 16" steel wheels with Nokian winter tires. Works perfectly, rides better.
