Ok, so yesterday I'm at the local McDonalds and a Chevy Equinox (sp) pulled up with some nice factory rims. My question is would those rims fit on the Mali?

I would assume the lug pattern is the same size. If i were to put rims on my car I would really like them to be official Chevy products, badge and all. I'd really like to have a list of Chevy's that have the same lug pattern.
The lug pattern on the Malibu (5-110) is different than the Equinox (5-115).
I believe the Pontiac G-6 and the Saturn Aura have 5-110.

i have found that the dealler said that the bigest rim size you cabn go is a 19" but the down side to that is that all the top end cars like Ferrari, and porshe run 19" so they are vary pricey to get. i have got a set 20" to bolt up with no real mods down to tuck, they look great but to rub when i hit any big pot holes, the trick is to run a low pro tire like 255/30/r20, or smaller aka runflats, or ruberbands.
Do you have a picture of the Malibu with 20's on it? I haven't seen one with aftermarket rims yet, and I want to put 20's on mine but wanted to see what it looked like first. Actually I haven't seen many '08 Malibu's in my area, and no other LTZ's.

what size are those tires? they are really low profile. how much smaller are those tires compared to the stock tires on the 18" ltz rims? how does it ride? is it still a smooth ride? handling?

Ive got a set of Konig Hot Swap Black with Chrome spoke inserts in the garage. Just waiting to be put on the just ordered 09 LT2 in the New WHITE.

The wheels are the ones in my Avatar except I got the Chrome inserts rather than the Red ones.
