So i read the whole thread about the issues people have been having with winter tires. I am in the hunt for a decent set of rims, and came across a local add for 18 inch Dodge Magnum R/T rims, i'm curios if anybody knows if these will fit? If not what should i be looking at that would fit rim wise over our big brembo breaks.

 

as far as i can tell, they are the wrong bolt pattern.. so no.

 

They are 5 bolt... but wrong offset or whatnot? Well i'm curious as to what i should be looking for, i have a few months before the snow falls (i hope) and i don't want to be rushing last minute.

i got a set of 17" cobalt ss wheels for my winter tires and they work great !

Its a tight fit but they dont touch the caliper.

i have used mine all winter with no issue.

205/50/17 is the size of my winter tires and i had to buy 4 pressure monitor sensors to mount on each wheel, one per valve stem.

good luck

I used some 17 inches wheels sold by macpek (truck parts distributor in quebec). They were around 160$ each and cleared the brembo without using a spacer. It was a tight fit, but never gave me problems. They are also strong enough to withstand to winter and spring driving, pothole included. 205/50-17 is also the tire size I used.

 

I bought a second set of stock wheels off eBay. If you are patient, they come up every once in a while. Someone is selling a set in the classifieds now, too.

 

Damn I really like those rims. Do look like they fit tight but still look real sweet. Love to have those in black for my car.

 

Whats the pattern i should be looking for? 5x ??? All this info is very helpful! Thanks a lot guys!

 

5x110

go do some reading on your car bro

 

I put the winter tire on my stock rim and bought some enkeis on now

 

Check my gallery. I ran 17" BSA Model 264s with a tiny little 3mm spacer to be on the safe side.

 

5x100 with a 42 mm offset...go do some more reading on your car bro

 

i thought you left along time ago what are you doing here

 

thanks

 

Please do go and buy that bolt pattern and let us know how that works out for you.

 

Quintuple post FTW!

 

considering every website ive gone to has our bolt pattern as a 5x100 (same as a wrx, scion tc....just a different offset to clear the brembo's) so 10+ websites are wrong with their 2009 Cobalt SS bolt pattern?

 

Yes. It's 5x110; I'd know, I bought and mounted mine.

As the other poster said, feel free to buy 5x100 pattern wheels if you want.

 

Must be because the Cobalt SS/SC and SS/TC have always been 5x110...

 

congratulations, im real proud of ya....???



after calling tire rack and discount tire direct, all of the "5x100/5x114.3" options for the 08/09 SS/TC is in fact wrong...i retract my previous statement for the 5x100 fitting...what i cant seem to understand is why a bunch of these websites are showing that size for the phuckin' car and they dont fit pisses me right the **** off....my apologizes to the OP for offering bogus information

 

5x100 would have made it way too easy for us to find tires...
