For those who are curious, wider tires on the rear kept the front and rears on the same plane. My eye twitches every time I see someone with front tires that have a wider track than the rears.

Ok, seems everyone is jumping in, so my turn. In storage and these are the only good photos I have.
Vors TR4 17x8 30e fr, 17x9 35e rr, 5x110
Federal 595 RS-R 225/45-17 fr, 255/40-17 rr
Do you know if you need spacers. I ordered 9.5 for the rears and didn’t bother to check. Fingers crossed

With aftermarket struts and 255 tires on the 17x9 rim I calculated to have about 20mm (3/4 inch) clearance with no spacer. I used a couple different on-line wheel/tire calculators and the measurement for the stock Cobalt SS wheel/tire spacing as my starting point.

I’m running 9.5 out back with a 275. So hopefully it will fit. Might be right. I have the coil overs in the rear
