You don't need a lift kit to fit 20inch rims on a Malibu. Just get 225/35/20 Tires an you'll be good to go ( that's what I have on my Malibu), no rub or anything. 245's will rub.
Wat kind of lift kit I need to put rims on a 1998 Chevy malibu
yea but you have to get a lift and shave wheel wells
Yes, you may or may not need a lift kit. Which means the kit will keep the tires from scrubbing the car.
go to universalcarlifts.com
your gonna need one hell of a lift kit
If it's a 4 wheel drive, you will need to crank the torsion bars to get them to fit the front. If it is a 2 wheel drive, you will need a lift kit. A 3" body lift or a 4" suspension lift should do the trick.

4 inch body lift or 6 inch frame lift
The largest I have seen on a Malibu are 22's. I still haven't figured out how they have done it (lift kits?) I have 20's on mine. If you want 20's go with 225/35/20 inch tires an you'll be good to go.
You dont need any lift, but the front will rub unless you put a leveling kit on it.
4 inch lift
Yes it will. I have a 1998 GMC Sierra 4wd with only a 3 inch body lift and are clearing 35 inch nitto tires and it has no suspension lift what so ever I have a 1999 2 door Tahoe with 3 inch body lift and keys cranked up and clearing 35/15.50/r15 tsl sx's with little cutting but rubbs when turning and flexing the front suspension.
