Rim Width?

How wide would everyone go with aftermarket rims? I found a few sets of pretty badass rims for a decent price the only thing is they are 18x8 does anyone besides me think that may cause a problem with rubbing?

if you found a set be sure they fit the ss moedels ss models are different lug pattern than all other cobalts and as of now you either have to have a shop order them custom or some shops will have a few styles but right now you have a 7 inch going to an 8 shouldnt be a problem but you could turn your wheel all the way to left or right and measurean extra inch to double check but it should be fine
