If you have to stretch your tire and run massive camber to compensate like the above posted picture I quoted, it looks like ****, and that's my opinion. The other cobalts posted on this thread with the flush, proper camber, proper tire setup look amazing. I'm not talking ****, and if you can't handle an opinion, too damn bad.

You sound incredibly ignorant. My God.

didnt, mad camber, idk, ur, talkin, ur, everthing, u, hav, braaaaaaaa

"Hellaflush" needs a new spokesman.

Those two Cobalts look great. The cars on those "hellaflush" websites look like crap and likely perform even worse than they look.

I know old quote is old but from their faq:

We offer one-piece and three-piece wheels. All one-piece wheels are available in the bolt patterns that are noted on our website. One-piece wheels come complete from the factory and neither the bolt pattern, offset, or width can be changed.

If you are interested in three-piece wheels (NOBLE, VIRTUE, IMPERIAL) each of these wheels are custom made to order. This means you can order them in virtually any specification you like including color, offset, width, and bolt pattern. These wheels take about 6-8 weeks to complete.
I couldnt seem to find those 3 wheels, maybe I suck at reading lol

Still trying to wrap my head around the way that wheel would be, but I think you would want less offset to make that fit without eating the struts. I think....correct me if I am wrong

EDIT:Here is what I found for a working example


The front are 18x8.5 et30 rears 18x10 et25....which turns out to be +30 front and +25 rear

Reference for explanation about ET: http://www.driverstechnologyassociat...eel-offset.htm

Another important thing is the wheel offset, which is the distance between the middle line of the centre of the wheel width and the mounting surface of where the wheel bolts to the hub on the vehicle. The offset is described by the term ET, which is from the German word 'Einpresstiefe' translated as 'insertion depth'. Most wheels have a positive offset which means the mounting surface is further outboard than the wheels centre. If you reduce the amount of positive ET on the wheel the the vehicles track is widened and vice versa if the ET number is reduced. Straying too far from the original offset can be detremental as fouling to the suspension and bodywork can occur as well as eccess strain on wheel bolts or studs

What an awful trend. I shutter a little every time i see a stretched wheel or a "hella flush" look. Really it's the quickest way to make a car perform like ****.

I'm ashamed to see it come to the cobalt community. There was a time when body kits and underglow were cool too. In 5 years we will remember the retards who did it and made there cars near undrivable.

When you behind the wheel do you feel the "hellaflushness"? it's foolish.

Some of you guys are dorks. Sorry, but really. Candy paint and 24's on a Cobalt? Yes. Gay. But a clean drop and wide stance? I see no problem with that. not everyone wants the car to be a racer. Some guys like show, or cruising. I need mine for a daily, so I keep things within limits. But for you to outrightly bash something that isn't tacky (ie. side decals, stripes, etc), ***** weak. Get a life and read another thread.

How he said it speaks directly to his education and in my eyes his judgment. It tells me whether or not I take what he says seriously.

The reason I'm in this thread is because I think those two cobalts look GREAT and I'm trying to gain information so I can make similar modifications to mine in the future.

I look at these "hellaflush" cars the same way as I do painting the dashboard to match the paint's exterior, to be honest. That looks really tacky and cheap.

9.5 is an awfully wide wheel. Poke, poke, poke. Especially considering the way our fenders are designed. The fender sticks out much wider than the lower part of the back bumper.
