I'm buying tires today, but for winter would 235/45/18 tires for on the stock 05 SS wheels? I have a lot of wheel gap.

you want a more narrow tire in winter.



but I think 235/45 will be very close to rubbing your strut mount. each tire is different. I run a 225/45 on the LNF wheels and its close to the strut tower

Thank you! So the 40-55 middle portion is not as important? That is the sidewall beef so to speak?

its the aspect ratio as a percentage.235/45 means the 45 is about 45% of the tires width 235.

Had my new head unit installed today! Built in GPS, Bluetooth, DVD player, back up camera I'm really happy with it & got a good deal from Crutchfield. Also noticed that my rear brake calipers were leaking brake fluid at the seals! Both rear calipers I had installed new just over 2 years ago so they both had a lifetime warranty so I had two new rear calipers installed today as well.

Once again I pushed through salt, sand, and practically a mud pie of slush and snow. I really need to get my car washed today now that it's finally above 0.

I'm sure everyone's just as confused as I am, so "congrats on the new car."

We have a hard enough time figuring out when our own wives need compliments, so if I were you I wouldn't get upset when you don't get the compliments you're looking for here. Not trying to flame you, just don't get upset about us giving you a hard time.

Insert typical cobalt owner joke about wrx/Sti. This particular vehicle was owned by a coworker and I can bet you she doesn't even know what 5000rpm looks like lol. She will die in her office sweater and crocs.
