Check with online tire stores for rim choices that will fit, Discount Tire or Wheelt and Tire have a size chart when it comes to upsizing from fatory wheels. Usually factory offset is 35, 38, or 40 mm positive offset depending on the model.

That should work for your newer Malibu. A site like Discount Tire can verify fitment...

That is similar to what I'm running on my 99 - 18"x8" sized 115x5 bolt pattern with a 42mm offset. This brings the outer edge pretty close to the fender and also makes it tight on the strut side. Be carefull on tire sizing as you can easily go too wide or tall and start having rubbing issues. I'm also lowered on Eibachs, no problems...
