2009 Malibu LT Wheel Size and Mods
So I have some questions...
I just purchased my Malibu 2 months ago with only 18k miles on it, in great condition and for a great price! I have been looking everywhere and cannot figure out the wheel size for my car. it says anywhere from 17-19 inches and I have no clue which it is.
Also, what are some good mods to do to it? Everything is stock and it is the 2.4L 4 Cylinder. A few friends of mine tell me to add a turbo, exhaust or intake, and so far all I have done is tint the windows.
Any and all comments will help! I appreciate it!

is it the 1LT or the 2LT?
STANDARD wheel sizes for both are 17"
steel for 1LT, machined aluminum for 2LT. Now there are OPTIONAL chevy wheel sizes, so yours could differ.
If i were you, i wouldn't invest a lot of time adding performance upgrades to a car that is not meant for performance, especially on the 4 cylinder.
Honest opinion: turbo, exhaust, intake on a malibu is a total waste of money and time.

Congrats on your new ride! That sure is a low mileage vehicle. Must be in nice shape.
What color?
I agree with ThatChevyGuy. Don't mess with the engine.
Tint, Wheels and tires will make you stand out and look good. Maybe you could add some cool custom seat covers and some weather tech floor mats.
