I'll find the specs....hang on.

Gah I cant find the post or a site that references it.

Although I had a realization tonight, you can mount just about anything providing your offset moves enough to keep the rim/tire from hitting your suspension components. Here's a nice little calculator from 1010tire.com to help you out with that:

I will update if I ever find the stock offset.
Update:
All 5-lug Cobalts are +42mm
The most I can do for 4-lug cobalts right now is somewhere in the ballpark of 32-42mm

I'll update again when I find out what it is.

so a 32 offset would fit?

Depending on how wide the wheels are yeah. I'm guessing yours are gonna be a 7" which is fine.
