I'm trying to replace my 18'' P-Zero for the winter with 16'' steel wheels

Anyone can point me to a manufacturer's name and/or part number for a 16'' steel wheel that will fit my 2006 Cobalt SS they are hard to find in Canada

Thanks

Tell me the bolt pattern and I can tell you if one is widely available (probably so).

Bolt pattern is 5-110.

Good luck with your search, most places are sold out of them now, but keep looking I'm sure someone has the right wheels.

5X110.... I can't say I've ever heard of that bolt pattern before.. GM and their speshul enginurring. Its retarded!

At least the LS and LT models get a bolt pattern common to every import in exsistance. =p

moved to drivetrain. how to is for posting instruction on how to do common tasks only.

Finally went this morning to try 2 sets of the 16'' wheels listed for the Cobalt SS here is the result

Palmer 99-128 at 59.99 DO NOT FIT

MACPECK X41658 GOOD FIT BUT THIGHT...stock calipers are very close...but since I only got 5000 km on it there shouldn't be any problem when I replace the front pads.

so I went with these rims at $82 and with the Dunlop M3.

Hope this can help someone...

You want a tight fit! As long as they don't rub against the calipers, you want them tight.
The Palmers are 5 X 114.3, and our bolt pattern is 5 X 110. The Macpecks are X 110. And watch out, just because a set of rims 'don't fit' doesn't mean they won't put them on your car!!! It's happend :mad: Also, don't bother going to GM, they make a no-name rim but haven't made any for the SS/SC.

Hope this helps too!

links to where I can buy? thank you

Put your car in as a Saab 9-3 2 door coupe(same lug pattern)

and pick out some 16" wheels and tires(215 60R16) somewhere around that

your welcome

ps: do a little searching i found wheels at $75 each and winter tires at $62 each
...thats pretty cheap
