Cobalt SS wheel questions

Anyone know what the offset of the Cobalt SS wheel? I know the HHR's are 40, wasn't sure if the Cobalts were the same or not.

If they are also 40, would a 42 put it closer to the strut, or further away?

Simple questions I know, but I'm not a wheel specialist..... Found a set locally and they are a 42, with the 245/40's, I don't want to be closer to the struts as I've only got maybe 1/2" or so of space there now.

Also, how do you think these would look? Sorry, only shot I have of them.

That's good to hear. I don't want them to go inward due to the tire width. Don't want to get any closer to the struts themselves.

I like them, but your polished cobalt wheels look better with the style of your wagon. That style wheel is very tuner...just like mine. I will say this, you'll get tired of them...I'm tired of mine and ready for something new.

Solman-

I believe Cobalt SS wheels are 5x110 18x7 and offset is 42

The new rims kinda match your custom bentley grille.

Here's an offset diagram to give a visual..
