15 Inch rims on a ss supercharged?

Can I put 15" rims (steelies) with P195/60R15 from a cobalt LT on my 2007 cobalt ss supercharged for winter tires?? Someone suggested that they may not fit over my brakes? I dont know the offset.

I know that they are terrible and ugly but much more cost effective for the 3months they are going to be on my car.

As far as I know 16" is the smallest you can go. If you want to go to 15" you need to grind some of the caliper away. The calipers get in the way of 15" wheels. I hope that help Chevy girl.

EXACTLY.

The bolt pattern will not work and the size is too small. 16" is the minimum clearance on the SS/SC brakes.
