I would stick with 225/45/17's on 7.5" wheels. The 235's will bulge a bit and will likely rub with Sportlines, especially with a +35 offset. Most people with +35 have rubbing issues when running 235's.

Seems like a popular choice:

MSR 045's on White SS/TC





Tint and various carbon fiber pieces to come. Hopefully everything will tie in together.

why thank you. I just want a daily driven race car. I may weld a cage next and purposely make it look shitty to give it some character. gut the interior and such. I'm not sure many people will get it, but I love character like that. I really want to get this thing matte army green too. eh I'll just shut up and get it done.

Do you have a picture from distance? I'm thinking I'm gonna have my dad powdercoat my stock TC wheels black and then after that do the yellow pinstripe. What did you use vinyl?

35 and 45. cant remember which is the front, and which is the rear. those 9.5" ers rub both the fender lip, as well as the inside of the wheel well. they're just too damn wide.

not yet, haha, the rear axle is actually about 1/4" off center towards the left, so thats why you see clearance. it rubs the inner well worse on the right, the fender itself worse n the left. i'mm have them rolled, and the axle shifted in about a week.

you can loosen and shift the rear axle for alignment purposes. i thought you were the cobalt suspension guru, how do you not know that?
