Do corvette rims fit a cobalt? (2004-2007)
They're those chrome 5 star ones, 18 front, 19" in the back.
they look gorgeous and theres a set for sale for dirt cheap on Kijiji.
or are they too fat? I was just wondering, they are beautiful wheels.

lol some dude from work (back when i had the car) would always say that. i had to raise it to get the tires to fit (discoutn tire said the tires and rims would but turns out not even close) but thats all the way up. i wouldnt drive like that normally

No they will not, the current c6 rims, (the ones I assume you're referring to) don't fit, they're too big. I think the 18" fronts are like 18x9.5 or something like that, plus they are 5x114 I believe.
Funny how we went from chrome 5 star to sawblades. People need to read.

well thats just the thing, I have no clue, I'm not a wheel person, and I know well enough to google bolt patterns as someone posted here.. but in terms of all the other stuff I was just wondering if someone on here knew off by hand if they'd fit.
And enough about your hideous 90's wheels off an ugly corvette goodman, I dont care I didn't even ask about those, what you did is like....
me asking how to make steak, then you came in telling me how your chicken soup is the best and then not telling us how you made it

Send me the kijiji link for the wheels you're looking at Steveo and I'll help you figure it out. The bolt patterns are not the same but you can run adapters depending on the width and offset of the wheels. I know corvette wheels range from 8.5 to 10.5 in width iirc depending on the model and whether front or rear wheels. There is a member on here (can't remember name) that is running 5 spoke corvette wheels on his cobalt.

FYI if I'm not mistaken the c6 wheels were 18x9.5 and 19x11 and et 56. If that's the case. It can work but youll need some serious dialing in to get it to fit. Along with modifying some stuff on your car. Ie brake cable brackets. Ect.

since we are back on topic i think you may be able to run them if you find all fronts and of course you are going to need adapters
Corvette Accessories, Corvette Wheels, Corvette Parts may be a good site for you to use

Hey Stevo I found the specs for the wheels you were asking about:
Front 18x8.5 +56
Rear 19x10 +79
The fronts would fit the cobalt no problem with a 1 inch 5x110 to 5x120 adapter which would give you final et +31 and you wouldn't even need to roll the fenders. The rears however would require a lot of work. You would need close to a 2 inch adapter in the rear and you would have to roll and aggressively pull the fenders. Even then you would still have some good poke in the rear and you would absolutely need coilovers. So yeah unless you wanna do some considerable work on the rear then you wouldn't be able to use these on your balt unless you get 2 pairs of fronts like JacBlack had mentioned. Cheers.

Yup, I just got the PM yesterday and checked it out, thanks a TON for the help man, but yeah, its going to get insanly expensive quick and I'd rather put money like that towards other things lmao!
but thanks for the help juiced, and if somehow I can get four front wheels for a decent price I'll deffinatly HAVE to do it

just put on 2 front wheels. as stupid as u said my camaro looked how much do u think the exta 2 inches on the back helped? maybe a lil since rwd but v6 = fail so. putting that on a fwd cobalt would be retarded.
