Well I will have them on my car later this week. But your will have to lower your car and roll the rear fenders to make them look good and fit properly.

Plus you will have to get them custom drilled for the bolt pattern because they do not come in a 5 x 110 bolt pattern.

Because 19's on a car that is not lowered would honestly not look good. The gap would be huge.

You would only have to roll the fenders if you go with a staggered setup, which is what I will have. So you probably will not have to do that. Sorry.....a little excited about my rims coming soon!

And being that you do not have the SS S/C, your car site even higher then mine did on stock springs, so the wheel gap would be even larger. Trust me, you are going to want to lower the car to make it look good.

If you want to see what rims I am buying, check out this thread:

No idea. I am buying them off Remedy One.

And if you do get the staggered ones, you will have to roll the inner part of the fenders for sure.

I am not trying to discourage you from buying them, but there is a lot of work that you would have to do to get them ready for the car and get the car ready for them.

I am lucky in that Remedy One has already done the "initial work" and had them on his car, then I am buying them from him. All I had to do was roll the rear fenders since my car was already lowered.

You have to roll the inner lip on the rear fenders to prevent the rear wheels from rubbing on a staggered setup.

I am making a "How To" to show how to do this. It will be up soon.

According to MimoUSA's web site they make them to fit the 5x110 bolt pattern and list the Cobalt SS in the application guide...
