Term's not an idiot Dom, he's one of the best Cobalt tuner's in the country. This look isn't for everyone, doesn't make them an idiot.

You sir are the one putting 235s on a 9.5" wide wheel. Butt Hurt much? Dont care if your car is slammed. Roll your fenders more then or change the wheel offset so you can fit a proper width tire on there (at least a wide spec 245). 235s on 9.5s is stretching most tires a bit too much if you want to go by the manufactors recommended wheel width. It is your car do what you want but 235s on 9.5 is just pointless as far as function goes IMHO. You are about looks I care about performance.

@Term, not butthurt, just tired of people saying stupid ****, I knowh the look isn't for everyone. The performance will still be there, its just that i dont have much invested in performance...yet.

I get going for the look but there's QUITE a few kids in our town with these kinds of setup's on the V-dubs and they CRAWL around town.. It gets annoying when they crawl thru 1st gear over any bump and around any turn so the fender isn't ripped off.
Do you drive it like that, or throw them on for show? That part intrigues me

Figured I'd throw the pic in here to re-iterate a 235 on a 9.5 is no where near ridiculous, you can get the bead to seat properly depending on the tire and handles pefectly fine.
