Allright I got one.Working on a few others.I did end up spacing them out 5/16 on the rear but I think I'll go ahead and get 2-7/8 studs for back there because I probably got only around 1/4"+ thread holding them on.

18" C6 wheels look too big on our cars. Those 17's look great, now drop it to complete the look.

18s too big? Solstice comes with 18s and so does the Cobalt SS supercharged.

I said 18" C6 wheels look to big on Trans Ams in my opinon because the spokes go up to the very edge of the wheel, the spoke is elongated and almost looks like 19" wheels. With 17's the spokes look just right, not too long and proportional to the car.
