Well, on a 2.2 like yours, which has the 4x100 bolt pattern, the skys the limit, as just about every sport compact wheel ever made is available in that bolt pattern.

In the front I don't think you can go much wider than an 8" wide without it looking like a skateboard with the wheels and tires sticking out. I have 18x8's and the inside wheel lip is no more than 1/2" from the strut housing. They sit just inside of flush with the fender lip and have a 45mm backspacing. I couldn't run a wider wheel unless I was okay with them sticking out. Just an FYI.

Why would you want 10" wide wheels on your car?

I wish those were mine, thats the Neil Tjin edition cobalt before they changed the wheels and painted it white.

But those wheels cost $1795 each from HRE.

Rolling your fenders is a process you must do so that wheel and tire do not hit the inner lip of the fender. They make a tool which you run along the inside of the fender and it rolls the inner lip on the fender up so that the wheel and tire dont hit it.

Those wheels were actually sold to a member on here though.

That I honestly couldn't tell you, if you search HRE wheels on here, you will find the thread of the guy who bought these and he could probably tell you.
