18" SS 18x7 Rims... will they fit...

Would a set of 18" 18x7 rims off of an SS fit my 2007 LT Cobalt with no issues?

Or...
Would I have rubbing/fitment issues?

And...
If anyone can let me know, how much 4 cheaper tires would cost to wrap em?
I have 16" rims now, and i'd like to move on up, but I don't want to mess other stuff if I don't have to, just would like to plug and play IF I'm able.

Thank you!

they dont rub if you get the right tire. If you get cooper zeon zpt tires they will rub. The stock Pirelli tires dont rub

the pirelli tires i have now costed 137 each for 215/45/18

Cool, thanks guys.

Senile, how badly did your gas mileage go down... and what about recalibrating the speedo with tthe 18's? Any feedback is appreciated!

i haven't noticed a decrease in gas mileage and i didn't recalibrate the speedo because i got a tire close enough in diameter. it's only off by about 1%

make sure your LT has the 5 bolt hubs though...

some LT's are 4x100 iirc.
