The downside of using fix-a-flat or anything like it is if the foreign object that made the hole gets ejected from the tire on the way to repair the sealant then seals the hole.
OK.....I know that sounds like good news but now the hole can't be seen.....so, how does one repair a puncture that can no longer be seen?

Well, you don't....there is now no alternative but to replace the tire.......and I share this because it happened to me.
One of my sons guys brought his wheel/tire to me for a fix under these circumstances....and, no hole could be seen inside or out.

Had to replace what might have been a very repairable tire.

The diesel Cruze has a specific to it wheel bolt pattern......nothing to do with training....there are no other wheels available to the dealer.

As you said....might want to reconsider offroading a car......I don't see where the dealer has any fault in this one.
The insurance company, however, to lessen the rental expense, should've just authorized a new wheel.....would have been several weeks faster.
