Exclamation need help ASAP about wheel fitment!

alright guys, im trying to order some custom rims. ill tell you all what they are later, but lets just say theyre sexy . anyway, i need to know which of these sizes would fit the balt best and if you think itl clear brembos (looks like it will). also, i will be lowered on pedders springs so if you think i may rub, let me know.

i plan to run 245/40/18 tires with one of these size rims.

18 X 9.5 with either of these offsets: 0, +12, +22, +30

i hear the stock ss/tc wheels are 18 X 7.5 (too skinny imo) with an offset of +40

Also, I think it would be better to run 245/35-18, you may be safer about rubbing, expecially if you don't have stock height

yea, i just got off the phone with the guys im buying them from. what im getting:

custom drilled 5 X 110 18X9.5 +30MM offset.

ill have to roll my fenders a little as it should stick out an extra half inch or so from stock. and i think it should clear the brembos no problem, especially considering stock offset is like +40. lol.

except they curve the wrong way.

nobody has these rims on a cobalt yet tho, so im exited. there may be some lookalikes tho. when i get them im going to test fit a 255/35/18 tire to see if it rubs, should be fine after i roll the fenders. traction problems = solved.

theyre replicas. and im sure they will fit. the price includes the custom drilling. weigh about the same as the stock ss/tc wheels (with these being bigger thats a win in my book) and they have great quality.
