As the title states, I want to see pictures or hear detailed feedback of people who have mounted SS/NA 17 inch wheels on their SS/TC's. Please also state your level of success and/or your clearance difficulties or lack thereof. I am planning to purchase these for my SS/TC and need to know quickly whether they will be a definite fit without the need for spacers. Thank you everybody in advance!

 

here ya go......... And yes, they will definitely fit without spacers however the clearance is about as much as a piece of cardboard paper. i used a 3mm generic spacer from any auto parts store. i dont have a pic in my gallery but will upload one when i get out of work at 7pm est

 

yeh they do def. fit with no spacers ive seen pics of the clearance it is a **** hair away from the brembos.

 

haha it literally is a "**** hair"

ive seen some people add a spacer just to be on the safe side though as well.

 

Thanks for the pics so far, anybody have a picture showing this '**** hair' worth of clearance? LOL also who makes the best spacers? I am very scared of using any kind of spacer, I do not want to over stress any mechanical things on my car by placing the weight further away from the tires and possibly running in to problems later on.

 

any of you guys getting rid of your 18s? i want a set!

 

keeping mine, looking for a set of 17's for winter use.

 

I have been in touch with Enkei recently. I talked with a rep named King. He told me there is a new wheel coming out around the end of Sept. and they haven't fully decided if they're going to include our 5X110. He told me if there was enough interest they would build this wheel. It is a race wheel weighing LESS than 16# and priced about the same as the RPF1. Everybody interested in wheels should call this number, ask for King and tell him you want wheels for your Cobalt SS. He also told me the new wheel is being built to clear Brembos and probably in a 17" as well. EVERYBODY GET ON THE PHONE AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS, RELATIVES AND EVEN ENEMIES TO CALL. The more interest we can generate the better our chances. This is a NEW wheel so tooling won't be as big a factor as custom wheels, which they don't want to get involved with. 800-875-3100 CALL
