See if you can find a shop in the area that deals with performance alignments.

this is probably a dumb question but if you redrill your hubs to 5x114.3 you also need new rotors now do you just get redrilled rotors or buy rotors for a 5x114.3 car?

Yea you'll need to get them redrilled every time, but it's not like you replace rotors every month.

i think Nat hit up Modern Performance about making rotors for the cobalt in 5x114.3

use the dimensions of the cobalt rotors LSJ | LNF or base and drill the appropriate bolt pattern from the get go

What's everyone's opinions on MAXXIS tires? I'm thinking of picking a pair up there cheap and i just want them for daily driving and my new wheels since the 8.75 compared to my stock wheels. yes i know they aren't nittos and goodyear and blah blah 150 + tires each. but are they good tires for the price. right now i have falken ze 502 and i liked them on my stock wheels but i need wider for the new ones

I'm lost!! Idk what wheels to get. The ones I wanted wouldn't clear brembos (20mm spacer would be needed).
Can you guys help I have about 1k to buy a new set and I would prefer wheels with a stepped lip but not mesh style.
Please help!

It's Varrstoen, but not the usual. I think the only other Cobalt running a similar wheel was 07SSYellow who had 18x9 with a +25 offset?
