I believe the adapter sizes were like 20mm and like 30mm because of the different widths in the wheels.
8.5's up front for the 30mm ish
9.5's out back take the 20mm(smallest they can make and you will need to shave a hair off of your wheel studs so the adapters will sit flat.
It gives you a total offset ranging from 25-35, I can't remember exact figures, your going to have to plug some numbers into the offset calculators.
Biggest thing to do w/the adapter set-up is make sure the adapters are hub centric to the cars hub and the adapters are made so that they are hub centric to the rims. It'll ride like stock if not better.
mine arent hub centric, i just make sure the wheels bolting on flat and evenly and the cones on the lug nuts center it. not really a big deal. my vette wheels are 9.5 all around.

Just wanted to know what size addapters and spacers you used to get the the wheels to work on the cobalt. I have a 2007 Cobalt coupe like yours but it's orange. already did the headlights, side markers, and a couple other things. what size tires did you use on your vett wheels
final offset is -8 rear and +7 front
