im a noob=noob question

Anyways I've been trying to learn as much about the Cobalt as I can and cars in general. I read the sticky and searched but I still have a dumb question just about car wheels in general. I know the cobalt ss wheel is 18x7, and my question is if I got a 18x7.5 wheel would the stock tire not fit? Thanks guys and please don't make fun of me. lol

the stock tires are pretty crappy if you ask me. they might be the worst pirellis ever made. i'd shop elsewhere. 7.5 fits i believe

Thank you. I know the stock tires are crappy, but oh well. I need them to do for now. I'm not rich like everyone on here. lol. And I'm only 16. Oh well, couldn't have chosen a better forum to learn off of!

A good tire for 7.5 would be either a 225/45 or 235/40...

check out tirerack.com - lots of info... if your on a budget... they have some Kumho's for $105, which a lot of forum members use...
