Stock alloys

The 4 lug alloys on the cobalt 2.2s, are they 16inch or 15 inch? I have the very base wheels with hub caps on my car right now and i have been thinking of getting wheels but the ones i wanted are no longer being sold (atleast by tire rack anyways) and today i went through my glovebox and saw a guide to the 2.2 cobalt with a red balt and alloys on it, that looked pretty good and i have seen a couple of balts rollin around on the stock alloys and I think they look good. So, if they are 16 inch how much will that screw with my speedometer and about what is the going price of those? I have looked on ebay and see they are expensive and thats without tires. How about on this site? Do many people sell them? Sorry for all the questions but I just want to make sure I make the right choice for me before i go spending my money.

LS cars have 15 inch wheels. SOME LS/LT cars have 16 inch, it all depends on what options where on the car when it was built.


but, most are 15

I believe all the ones with hubcaps are 15". You can always go look on the sidewall of your tire and find out

Rim size doesn't always affect speedo. It's overall tire+rim diameter. Google "tire size calculator" and you'll get a bunch of different sites where you can input your stock tire size, then input your desired tire size until you find the size that's most similar in diameter to your tire. It will also give you a calculation on how far off your speedo will be.
