Just wanted to confirm what motogp34 already posted, and also give a few pics. I just had the DR34's with Hankook Icebears W300's installed on Saturday at Discount Tire. They fit without any problem (about 1/4" - 3/8" clearance over the Brembo's). I did try to get the DR33's first, but Discount Tire called the manufacturer and said they were having issues clearing (no idea why they keep them on the web site as being available for our cars)....so we went with the DR34's instead: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...7.5&vid=014631
All up it came to ~$990. You can get them a little cheaper through DiscountTireDirect, but I didn't feel like dealing with shipping, plus the local Discount Tire dealer has always been pretty good to me....so I paid a little more to have someone else do the work.
Anyway, they're not sexy wheels by any stretch, but they'll work for a "cheap" beater set of winters.

I too ordered a set of Drag DR-34s. Fit nicely! Came out to $1080 for the wheels, some Yokohama Ice Guard 20 tires, TPMS sensors, lug nuts, hub ring adapters, and certificates for tire replacement if they get damaged. The wheels were $110 each! Not bad.

So I'm building a list of rims that clear the Brembo's on the '08-'10 SS/TC. If there are any ones on here that are a verified fit, or something on that list that doesn't fit, let me know and I'll update it. Some wheels I've noted to fit 17", and I'd assume they'd also fit the 18", but I'm sure there's some exceptions.
I will not list wheels that fit with a spacer above 3-5mm...you can fit a lot of wheels on this car with spacers, but the point of this thread is to find wheels that fit without.
So Far:
FACTORY
05-07 Cobalt SS/NA (17") WITH 3mm SPACER (optional?)
08 Cobalt Sport (17") WITH 3mm SPACER (optional?)
Ion Redline (17")
AFTERMARKET
ASA AR7 (18") & (19").....Machined w/ Silver
Borbet LV5 (17").....Silver
Borbet Type CA (18").....Silver
BSA 264 (17") .....Silver
Core Racing Kobe (18").....Black w/ Machined
Elbrus I05 (17")..... Best with 3mm spacer, very close fit Silver Machined
Enkei EKM3 (18") .....Bright Silver ..... Gun Metal
Enkei Performance AKP (18") & (20").....Black ..... Chrome
Enkei Performance G5 (18") .....Black/Machined
Enkei Performance LS-5 (18") .....Chrome
Enkei Performance LSF (18") & (20") .....Platinum Metallic
Enkei Performance RAZR (18") & (20").....Machined w/ Black
Fast Wheels Salsa (17") .....Silver
Fast Wheels Evolution (17")..... Chrome
Ikon Vision (18").....Silver
Maxxim Knight (17")(18").....Black/Polished Lip
MSR 045 (18") .....Silver..... White/Red Stripe.....Black/Machined Stripe..... Black/Red Stripe..... Hyper Gray
MSR 068 (17") .....Silver..... Black/Red Stripe
OZ Ultraleggera (18") .....Black..... Silver
OZ 35th Anniversary (18")..... Black w/Machined
OZ Borticelli (18") .....Silver
OZ Canova (18") .....Silver

THE CORE RACING KOBE RIMS DO NOT FIT!!!! THEY CLEAR THE BREMBOS BUT THEY DO NOT FIT OVER THE HUB!!!!! WE MADE THEM FIT AT OUR SHOP BUT WE TOOK THE RIMS AND GOT THE RIM HUB CENTERS PROFESIONALY MACHINED TO FIT OVER THE HUB
Hope This info helps

Are you sure? I tried them out on my TC and they seemed to fit fine. They were all the way to the back of the hub, we put a couple lugs on and everything looked to fit up right...I never did take a REALLY close look though.

VERY Interested in the Enkei LS-5s, but it says they only fit our cars on 20s, anyone know if the 18s fit and with what offset?
Also, does anyone know of a wheel like the Rennen's that are black, with the polished bolts and lip on them that fit over the brembos? That's what I'm REALLY after.
Something like this:

Has anyone tried these?
I just took delivery of a '10 HHR SS, 5-speed w/performance package. And of course it was snowing...FWD w/LSD, wide summer performance tires in the snow == scary understeer....
...so I need some winter rims/tires. I was thinking a little skinnier/taller tires, 17x7 rims.
Has anyone tried to see if these fit over the Brembo brake package?
http://www.cragar.com/ProductView.aspx?id=1239
Yeah OK the style might not be most peoples' idea for a Cobalt, but I think they would look right at home on a black HHR, perhaps powdercoating the rim (not spokes) red...
Thanks for the list, is anyone maintaining it?
