Considering the bolt pattern is different, they will not fit.

Double-sided tape can fix all bolt issues...

Vette/F-Body bolt pattern is 5x4.75, or 5x120mm. Cobalt is x110mm.

120.65

and all this FWD RWD ****. its just offset. take for example. a RWD car with an offset of +42 and bolt pattern of 5x110. vuiala, it'll fit the cobalt. FWD or RWD doesn't matter. its the offset.
