Hey guys.

Just a quick reference question.

My car is a 2006 Cobalt SS. Thus it has the 17 inch, 5 lug, 5 spoke, aluminum wheels with low-pro Pirelli P6's.

My other car is a 2004 Monte Carlo SS. It is also the GM 5 lug pattern. It has the optional sport 16 inch, 5 spoke wheels. The diamond cut ones. It has a "normal" size tire on it. I don't know tires to well. But it's not low profile. Just OEM size spec Good Years.

Basically, what I'm asking is if I can swap out my Cobalt SS 17's with my Monte SS 16's. It'd only be for a weekend for a big car show. The All-GM Nationals at Carlisle, PA. I went last year and it was sweet. Anyway, I figure (if the lugs are exactly the same) that it should work becasue eventhough the rims have an inch size difference, the tires are smaller. So the actual rotation size should be the same. So the speed sensor shouldn't read any differently.

Am I correct? I'm just going off of a very slim know-how on wheels.

Thanks, y'all.

 

you are correct. The Rims should fit since the tire sidewall is shorter.

 

Word.

:P

Here's the monte ones:



The cobalt ones:

 

Everything you're saying is correct but the bolt patterns won't match up. the cobalt has the 5x110 pattern and the Monte has a 5x115.

 

ohhh. I didn't notice your ss was n/a. Are they both the same bolt pattern?

 

The SS n/a and SS s/c are the same bolt...aren't they? They're both 5 lug, obviously, but I thought they were the exact same for all GM FWD's? Damn. lol.

 

the SS/SC and the SS/NA are the same bolt pattern (5x110) but only a handful of cars have it (HHR, G6...Saab something).

 

Damnit. lol. I must've been thinking they were the same becasue my last car FWD '89 Cadillac Sedan DeVille had the universal GM 5 lug.

Well thanks for the info guys!

 

I'm not trying to be an ass, but my head is going to explode. Look at my long post stickied at the top of this forum.
