That car handles good I took a turn into the freeway at 80mph and there car hugged it good.

I liek the setup. You know whats funny though, i was going to do this a while back (the staggered setup) and everyone was saying "its going to be the riciest cobalt ever." Now look at the outcome.

Keep 'em man!!

Its funny, how many people are bashing the staggered look on his balt but on Remedy's everyone loves it, I think they look good, the deep dish is for looks not performance, im sure this guy didnt think it would help him performance wise

i completely agree. the funniest part about it is 95% of the guys here are only in the 13's anyways, like a decrease in performance is detromental to their superspeed cars. the **** looks great...keep it! plus, 99% of people who see it wont even think twice about the fact that its fwd, theyll just enjoy the way it looks. ****, 90% of them wont even know what car it is!

Thanks I appreciate that. Good looking out, one thing I notice because the wheels are bit heavier my car doesn’t spin out to much when I race. I can actually run and not sit there and spin. Why do you think that is?

Looks good. I'd have gone with the 245's all the way round tho. Makes these things handle like a go-cart!

It looks good, but from a performance stand-point you should put the bigger tires on the fornt being that it is a front wheel drive car to help out with grip.

Yeah...maybe when you have time, try mounting the back on the front just to see about clearance issues.... that would be sweet with 245s in all 4 corners....

i love it!!!!! look very nice! i love staggered front wheel drive......they look good! its true that stagerred wheels on a FWD is useless, but hey, not everyone is thinking performance and wants to get a better 1/4 miles time when they add mods to thier car, i think those wheels are a VERY NICE visual mods and they look awesome.

Because bigger tires on the front would just look plain silly

And I'm LOVIN' the rims Slowbalt, don't even replace those.

As far as looks well I guess it looks good, better than I would of thought. I normally look at things from a performance standpoint and from that view it won't help you a bit dragging those bigs ass wheels and tires. But hell keep it how you like and you just have to take the bad comments with a grain of salt when asking for opinions. I do like looks somewhat, because if it didn't look like I was ridding on donuts I would be ringing on 16's or even 15's(if it would fit) for the kick ass power that would unleash. One thing allot of people must realize is that I didn't pay $20,000 for a car that looks like dung!
