hehe i did a thing
Prototype WideBody Cobalt SS by Joseph G, on Flickr

 

my friend went from these





to these



to these

 

The wheels are mismatched

 

damn all of those are sweet

 

its rwd hahaha drift balt

i wanted to do a bare frame front end but ended up ghosting it in. kept the wheels different for cool guy points haha

the original has same wheels

 

yeah he has good taste. he just sold the car maybe a month ago. He got a new set of SSR wheels every year

 

nice work DSM. Wish i could see a few of your concepts come to life!

 

thanks boss, they would be interesting to see

 

Dang, no new hella stants posts since last year? Might as well throw these up considering my car is about to look a whole lot different. These pictures are from a few months ago.

 

Damn. Ill post some up tonight.

 

What wheels and Specs? Tryna find some for my LNF.

 

Varrestoen ES2, I'd guess 18x9 35et, but I'm no wizard.

 

Varrstoen ES2 (polished finish). 18x9.5" et 30.

You may need to run a 5mm spacer in the fronts with brembos with this setup. Or just change the offset if getting custom drilled.

 

Sorry to bump an old-ish thread but I was looking at my oem lnf wheels and it doesn't look like you can come out much more as is. Even with rolling the fenders (that seem to already be somewhat rolled) how the hell could you fit 18x9.5s +30? On top of that, being lowered. I'd think you'd rub over everything. I'm trying to plan for whenever I get to wheels and was thinking 18x8.5 or x9 tops.

 

Just gotta not be a *****

 

Kind of what I'm thinking I'm gonna roll this **** more and hopefully not **** the quarter panels. Then I'll double check measurements.

 

You have to roll them and pull them some. I had 18x9.5 +22 fit no problem when I still had my balt, but you have to stretch 225/40s onto them. You can fit 18x8.5 +35 without pulling though. I actually ran 19x8.5 +35 with 225/35s as my first set.

 

That's nice to know. I'm still pretty new to the car and trying to "get to know it." I was thinking that I'd want to probably go with a wider tire -- either 235s or 245s. So maybe I'd have to stick with an 18x8.5 or x9 wheel and roll/pull the fenders a little in order to clear with beefier tires too. I'm still trying to look through all of this thread and other pertaining to "going wide" lol. Appreciate the help mate.

 

Rolling the rears is not easy. Be really careful. The fronts are a piece of cake.

 

So I've heard. I'll be careful. I have a buddy who has done it many times so I'll blput my trust in him haha. Well see how it goes. What makes the rear so hard/easy to ruin?

 

Its two layers thick and very very stiff. The quarter can buckle relativly easy. I ended up trimming mine once that happened

 

I should be able to include my Cobalt to this thread at the end of this week as long as everything goes well.

 

I wonder if a induction heater would be a good idea? Heats the metal a lot without disturbing the paint.

 

came n for stance only to get stood up!

 

Not super low, but I'm happy with how she sits.
