Do you think a 235 or 225/40/18 would be too beefy? I dont want to dent the rims that's the only reason why I'm thinking about a thicker tire. I also dont want to strech it too much if any at all.

 

anyone notice the notice at the top of this thread on any given page?

the tire/rim calculator

 

getting some 17x9s juggling between 225's or 235's. what do you guys think?

 

Stretch itt a little 225

 

Depends on the offset. My 235's look sick on the 17x9's

 

got the varrstoens so +30 25 in the front with spacers. yeah i know thats what i was looking at, thinking i should go with 225's. will the tires wear bad if they are stretched?

 

Nah youl be fine my buddy has 215 on 10.5" rims and h has 4k on them and they still look brand new . Jsut get anlignement done

 

yeah im planning on it after i destroyed my last tires haha

 

wtf.. do you got pics?

 

probably the guy on the 16s

 

dont know who it is

 

Oh sorry lads! Not a cobalt! I was just letting you know that stretching dosent provoke un normal wear. Its on a 03 acura tl bagged on 18x10.5

 

A 225/40/18 barely stretches on an 8.5 wheel although it varies from brand to brand. A 235 shouldn't really be stretched at all. If you want 8.5 +25 then you could get away with a 235 up front but I think you would have to at least roll your fenders in the rear with a 235. A 225 would be fine.

Here is a 19x8.5 +35 with 225/35/19 up front for a visual reference. You can see there is still quite a bit of space.



And here is the same size in the rear. You can see it sits pretty flush. Maybe a couple mm of poke.



They're not 18's but gives you an idea of the look and very slight stretch.

 

No posts in 3 days? Where did everybody go? lol

Anyway I'll just leave these here.





That's all for now. lol

Instant wallpaper winner

 

[QUOTE=riceburner;6611763][QUOTE=AARON-SS-TC;6603631]maybe if the photoshop was better, it would have been a great picture

 

^^ Photoshopped how?


A couple. lol! Need to make more changes so I can run rear camber though. lol


Thank you. I'll get some proper pics of the whole setup later. The wheels have been done but the color combo has not afaik and the wheel fitment is beyond anything any cobalt owner has tried yet to my knowledge. There will definitely be haters but that's ok. My new fitment is not even in the realm of practicality for this car. lmao

 

just show a damn pic haha

 

Looks amazing!!!

 

cant wait to get my rims on, should be late next week

 

Thanks gray.

Can't wait to see your new wheels on either BP.

I will post better pics, just might not be today. I'm at work and those pics are just quick shots I took a couple days ago. lol

 

if he thinks the car is chopped he's dumb, but i think he means the edit of the pic overall...

 

im already regretting going with 235's but i didnt feel like going with 215's. probably next time.
