Are you talking about putting a wheels on a cobalt with the rear being taller or wider? either way i dont know i think that on a cobalt you should keep them all the same size

people do that for better traction on the rear tires of a RWD car. on a FWD car it's pretty stupid. may as well just get a turbonator.

Not in my opinoin... everybody knows a cobalt is FWD... I think wider on the back make you look..... well I don't want flame.. just don't do it LOL

The Pontiac Grand Prix GXP actualy has wider on the front.. those are the traction tires...

i don't think it would look good at all... for anyone that knows anything about cars, it would look silly.
