i know the LS models have a 4/100 bolt pattern, does this mean any rim that fits a civic will fit a cobalt? i've notice lots of places that sell rims don't even have a cobalt listing...pleaase help!

 

technically yes. ..but you also have to keep in mind the offset should be +40 and the hub bore needs to be accounted for too if you want hubcentric rims. .

www.tirerack.com has a ton of rims. so does www.tires.com and www.wheelmax.com

 

alright thanks man....might be a stupid question, but what's hubcentric??? i can make an obvious guess, but an exact definaition would be cool

 

well theres two types of rims. lugcentric and hubcentric. hubcentric rims sit flush on your hub, and they're perfectly centered on it. lugcentric rims you have to rely on the lug nuts to center it. if you buy from those places they will give you the hubcentric rings to adapt them to your hub. usually aftermarket wheels have a very large bore hub so that they fit a wide range of cars, so these company's give you adapter rings to make them your hub size.

 

alright cool thanks man, when i go to buy my rims i'll definatly be asking about that
