17 inch rims on a 2006 cobalt ls sedan

Has anyone here put 17s on there 4 door cobalt ls sedans? If you have could you please post a pic for me to see? I work in a tire shop and get a good deal on rims. Debating whether or not to switch the stock 15s out for 16s or 17s.

Lol!! My favorite rim size is just 17s. Anything smaller just looks way too small IMO

Well I'm just worried it's gonna look kind of goofy cause its 4 door. Don't know if it'll make it look like there isn't enough rubber on the car or not. Anyone got pics? Also not lowered so I don't know if it's gonna look like there's too much of a gap.

Only one issue with 17's......


Your car will look like a monster truck! You have to get lowering springs or wheel gap will be god awful.

Heres my car on 16's just to show the wheel gap going up 1" in wheel size:

lowered

well that sucks that my sig looks like steelies haha. And Yes i have LED's in the front grille, ******* mechanics made me cut the power wire to pass inspection saying that they are illegal, ****s. I just never hooked them up again because they didnt match the white color of my retros and I didnt think they looked that great.

and those are Enkeis baby come on!
