Just wondering if anyone knows if the Sky wheels will work on our cars or is the offset too much different? I did a quick chop on my car and I like it a lot....plus they can be had for cheap on ebay...

 

Probably not because they're for RWD. However, you can put Mustang wheels onto my style Monte Carlo, so who knows. They do look good though!

 

my friend has the solstice rims on his g5,sure they will work.

 

Hmm do you know if they stick out at all or do they sit flush???

 

they stick out a little bit more than my rims,i forget the size,but its hardly noticable,I think i got a pic

 

here is seniors car

 

sweet, ya if you got a picture that would help me out. I need to find a sky owner around here who will let me test out his rims lol.

 

lo piture is up.

 

Hmm you dont have any looking down the side of the car do you?

 

Try senior browns garage

 

Cool, I found it. That fitment looks pretty good. Do you know what the stock offset is for the stock rims on his car?

 

same as yours I would assume.

 

Well that is helpful.

 

dont worry about him dude.. just another dick head noob...

 

Well everyone I just won a set on ebay. According to what I've found and what local tire shops have said they will fit no problems. They are 18x8" with a 55mm offset. This should set the outside of the wheel flush with where the stock rims are. But I will lose about 0.9" of clearance on the inside of the wheel. Hopefully it won't rub at all...maybe just rub a little when turning the wheel all the way.

I will post pics when they get here and I get them on the car....

Also, quick question. The center caps have the Saturn logo on them. Anyone know if I will be able to get those machined down and repolished for a blank cap? Or if I can just order some blank caps?

 

Damn congradulations,you can send me your other rubber now.

 

If you look on Gravana's web site it shows Solstice wheels for the Cobalt and says they will fit.

 

Got wheels only so I will be keeping my rubber.

Will be selling my wheels though if they work out like i'm hoping.

And Jack, yeah I had noticed those but I wasn't sure if they were the same offset as the stock wheels, so I wasn't ready to go off just that.

 

No problem. Thems the wheels I want.

 

Ya I like those wheels too, they look pretty bad ass.

 

They MIGHT fit with the 215's from the SS. MIGHT. I tried fitting my fathers on but they have like 225's and the tire was way too wide and too tall. The Fronts would not go on at all. Actually even with the 215's its going to be very tight and probably rub on the shock. The rears will fit better but you may have to trim the inner plastic fender. Good luck

 

Chargd, these were Sky wheels?

 

Yes sir

 

Did he have the stock tires on when you tried to put them on your car?

 

Yea. Thats why i said they may actually fit with the stock SS tires. The stock sky tires are wider and because of that a tad taller.

Oh and the center caps you can probably just punch out the saturn ones and replace them with the chevy ones. They should be the same size.

if you don't mind me asking how much did you pay for those rims?
