*Official* List of SS/TC Rims
#426
wheel help!
So I'm building a list of rims that clear the Brembo's on the '08-'10 SS/TC. If there are any ones on here that are a verified fit, or something on that list that doesn't fit, let me know and I'll update it. Some wheels I've noted to fit 17", and I'd assume they'd also fit the 18", but I'm sure there's some exceptions.
I will not list wheels that fit with a spacer above 3-5mm...you can fit a lot of wheels on this car with spacers, but the point of this thread is to find wheels that fit without.
So Far:
FACTORY
05-07 Cobalt SS/NA (17") WITH 3mm SPACER (optional?)
08 Cobalt Sport (17") WITH 3mm SPACER (optional?)
Ion Redline (17")
AFTERMARKET

O.Z. Alleggerita HLT Matte Graphite Silver
anyone know if those would fit??
Size: 17x8
Offset: 40mm
Bolt Pattern: 5-110
Rec. Tire Size: 225/45-17
Weight: 16.2lbs.
someone posted that every pound of unsprung weight removed is the equivalent of 11 lbs of sprung weight. If thats true, these wheels would equal a 300 lb sprung weight reduction
Stock ss/tc wheel = 23 lbs, these OZ wheels = 16 lbs
23-16=7 7x4=28 28x11=308
either way it would be approx. a 28 pound reduction in unsprung weight, depending on tire choice....

Anyone tried the Sport Edition A16? They come up on TR when searching for an SS/SC, but not the SS/TC, so I'm guessing a spacer will be needed, but not sure what size to try.
17x7.5 +42

O.Z. Hyper gt hlt
I am looking for new rims and I know the oz ultrallegeras fit over the brembos but according to tire rack, the hyper gt hlts will also fit. Does anybody have any experience with these? Also could you run a 245/40 without issues? Thanks for the help.
