Does Anyone know what the biggest tires u can fit on an LS are and any suggestions i was looking to go with koneig but i dont know what size tire to go with?

 

What size rim are you looking at? I think 18's are the largest you can go on a 4 lug LS...

 

I'm lookin to get Konig Unknown 17x7 black_machined rims

 

im running 18s with 225/40/18s and they are perfect. if you go much bigger i fear rubbing. im also dropped on sportlines and no issues

 

Do u have an LS or SS?....just wondering cuz if ur's is an ss i'd probably have 2 lower mine..which im kinda hesitant to do cuz i still live in buffalo..

 

you can put 18s on it.. and he has an ls i think.. you should deff lower it, it looks super gay when its not.. who cares if you live in buff lol.. id rather have a sick looking car worth dropping it, ull hvae no wheel gap sickk i wanna get some 17's or 18;s thios winter.. hey listerman,.. how fucked up is your spedo now?

 

speedo is fine. maybe 1mph off.

I have an LT

 

But his is an 2007 LS which means he has the 5 lug pattern (I don't know if it is 5x100 or not) but safest I'd go with would be 18s

 

did they actually go through with the 5 lug? think its 5x110 if so

 

I think they did. I saw a 07 LT on here a couple months back and it was 5 lug and they guy said it was an 07 LS/LT, so I guess they did, I just don't know the pattern.

 

Ive got an 07 LS and its got a 4 lug pattern.

 

thats weird cause the other day i went to the dealer and all 07 model cobalts are 5 lug almost postive.

 

I also believe all 07 cobalts are 5 lug. I remember seeing this.

I also remember this being a topic not 3 months ago.

You can go up to 20" wheels safely on a cobalt

 

This has been confirmed:
07 LS and level 1 LT have the 4x100 bolt pattern.
All other trim levels (2 LT and up) have the 5x110.
This is different compared to the 2006 line up where all LS and LT cars had the 4x100 and only the SS's have the 5x110.
I believe the main reason for doing this is to compete. Almost all the other cars in this class now use 5 lug rims, as to why everyone is switching to 5 lug rims I do not know. Eventually I believe chevy will use 5 lug rims on all the cobalts.

My theory is:
All the big car companies have recently introduced a lower trim level car (Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, Chevrolet Aveo, etc). And it seems all the lower line cars have now been shifted up towards mid range cars.
I would not worry about the 4x100 bolt pattern being outdated or becoming hard to find wheels for, becuase all the new lower trim cars use this bolt pattern (Honda Fit, Toyota Yaris, Chevrolet Aveo, etc). Not to mention the years and years of civics that use it.

I DO feel sorry for those who have the 5x110 bolt pattern that chevy seems intent on using. Its an odd-ball pattern that no one else in the industry has yet to use. Almost all the other brands that have switched to 5 bolt use 5-114, so feel happy you have 4x100 :-)

 

thats weird like i said cause i went to the dealer and they had a whole bunch of cobalt LS coupe and they were all 5 lug every single one of them and then i saw a 4 lug and i checked wat year it was and was an 06
