I was just on You Tube and I saw that yellow S/C running 20inch wheels. I know they would be heavy but wow they made the car look exotic in away.. Just wondering if one needs to mod anything to put them on or what? And would that set up hurt the car?

I just put them on.

 

Personaly, i think anything over 18" is too big...

17" is perfect for my liking..but 18 is good too.

 

17's




20's














depends on what you want to accomplish

 

or
18's
(stock)

 

Running 20s here as well.. but still waiting to drop mine this coming spring with sportlines

20s RULE!

 

don't do it man!!

 

I think 20's on a cobalt look ridiculous.

 

i think it is overkill, but i also think it looks decent on the balt. at least the pics i saw of doc's car with 20's a while back looked good. i think there was a video too.

 

here are 20's on mine



i think if you have a lowered car and kit and the "right" rims, they dont look as huge.

 

I am also running 20`s

 

Docs car looks sick!

 

are those rims 7.5 in width? they look a little wider than stock. i was looking at my car and saw that the tires were really close to the suspension and it looks like that if i put bigger rims on, the wheels would rub against the coils. what did you (and anyone else) do to solve that problem?

 

thatz a unique and pimp status sig u got there

 

cipher,the rims are 7.5 wide but i had a custom offset cut for them when they drilled the custom lug pattern. I wish I could remember what it is now.They honed about 3-4 mm off of each.

impulse,thanks man.I hadn`t ever had a sig.So i thought i`d have one made up when i got the new car.Funny the club prez dosn`t even drive a "J" anymore.

 

WOW thanks guys/ Donna.. Thankfully I have lowered my car, but ya if I have to mod the wheels or suspension thats gonna suck.. But ya that yellow Cobalt near the top is my fav.. That vid made it look exotic soo thats what I'm looking for.. thanks again all

 

Very nice car 27th element.

 

Thanks jojot. I hope to be able to get out to more OCC meets this summer.

 

Do you have any problems with the tires rubbin cause i live in a area with some pretty shitty roads some big potholes

 

yeah, i have to watch for that too which was why i was asking.

 

Well i have not had problems rubbibing with my 20s and we got some pretty rough roads around my town. but I plan on lowering it in the spring, but I don;t think I will have a problem as long as i watch where i drive and go slow over bumps. Besides if your running 20s, you should not be flying down roads especially with a 35 series tire.

 

i wanted 20s but i went with 18s because they didnt make 20s in the style i wanted. lol 3ds138 good thing they didnt huh bc i would have had a 30 series tire on 20s and i fly everywhere (its a ss/sc i cant help it)
