What are you looking to accomplish? More ground clearance or to fill the wheel wells? My Cobalt LT has that same size tire.

How wide are your wheels? That kind of determines how wide you can go. Wider tires and wheels are more expensive. Before you spend a bunch of money, is your car a stick shift of a cvt automatic?

I am running 215/50 R17s on 17x7 rims with a 40 offset. I have lowered my Ion 2 inches and still have room to spare. Pretty sure I could even go to a 225 wide tire without issue.
