Trev,



They have more clearance than stock wheels. There's two people confirming they fit.

Sweet they look good on your car :-)

I like your rear wing - I want to get one. I need to get around to it - I think I'll pick up some down force in high-speed turns. I thought I wouldn't want it - but I had the car slip out a little at the track and when the car breaks traction at high speed on the rear wheels the car really comes around...

Oh, the TIRES ARE NOT RUBBING, the sticky tires are picking up marbles ("rubber ***** from other tires on the track") and slinging it on the underside fender wall. So, again they do not rub even with 245.

18x8 I don't remember the offset. It's around 38 I think. They are far lighter than the TC rims. Something like eight pounds per wheel lighter.

Good luck finding them in 5x110

If they made them you'd have seen and heard about them already...many of us tried to get the to produce that wheel in 5x110 but Enkei showed no interest.

http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?w...eelbrand=Enkei

and theres a reason why i posted such a specific spec of the wheels. +35, 18x8, 17.8 lbs, because i search and find info before i post.

I looked at your link and I didn't see any 5x110 wheels listed. Believe me those enkei's would be nice, but without a hub conversion... No dice

Tell me where the 5x110 bolt pattern is in your link? I think the kettle is calling the pot black here.

yeah, my B. i really thought that the cobalt uses the 5x100, but then i was find out its 110 so yeah, oops.

okay, so back to the OZ, from what i'm finding, and i actually look this time. for the price, offset, and weight of the wheels. ths is gonna be one of my top choices. only if i can find something with like a +30-35 offset, and it would be nice.

The base cobalts are 4x100. The Ultraleggeras are a +38 offset.

If you go much smaller than a +35 offset, you are begging for rubbing issues. Enkei PF01's are available in 5x110. I would consider those also. They are a bit cheaper than Ultraleggera's.
