Do they rub at all? Would you think they would if i was lowered. Those rims do look nice. They would bad ass on my black ss/sc.

How wide should i go with the tires with these without rubbing?

06sscobalt do you have a side view of the car? Do the wheels stick out of the wheel well at at? Im just not sure if they will work when being lowered.

What's the full tire size (like 215/40-18)? You say 45, but your sig says 40 series.

These are pretty sharp, I plan on getting the black with the chrome lip. Tirerack says the 18 x 8.5s are only 21.5 lbs.

with the tires you can run the 215's fine as you can see on 06ss's car.. i would recommend doing at least a 225 though as the 215's are more for 7.5"wheels
