What's stock tire size?

1010tires.com had a nice tire size calculator.

205/50R17 is the stock size

I honestly wouldn't recommend running a tire that wide without changing the wheel width, it'll look like a balloon. I had a 225/40/16 on my stock wheels for the last cobalt. Drove like it was floating. If you insist on running a 235 drop to a 235/45 so your circumference isn't off by a ton.

just get a stickier tire in the stock size, maybe move to a 215 but no wider. straight line performance will increase, but dont expect to take turns very confidently with a 235 tire on those wheels

Not unless you plan on cambering the **** out of them.

I went to a website to look for wheels and the sizes they gave me were no wider than 215. You don't need massive tires on a Cobalt. I have yet to see any Cobalts with a tire width of 225 let alone 235

You sir have no idea what your talking about. I'm running 225's on my car. No camber. SS's come with 225's stock too

alright guys.... ill be going with a 225 then.... i just want to go wider because i like the look of them... i had the way my car looks right now with the skinny tires that are on them!

If you go 235s, youd want 235/40 not 235/50

I was hoping to go with some 215/45/17 for some rims i got last year but haven't put on until my stock tires need replaced..

Will I have any rubbing issues with it lowered (Eibach Sportlines) ?

Thanks!
