View Full Version : What is a good tire size for 20" rims?

Don't go any bigger than 18s.:D WhiplashHHR 10-30-2007, 02:54 AM I'm running a 225/30 20". I have Gio 942's which are 20" by 7" with a 40 offset. The wheels were custom drilled and inserted. You can run a either of these also 225/35 20" or a 235/30 20". crazybob 10-30-2007, 01:01 PM I want to get 20's but i want to have some meat on the tire without rubbing any suggestions? Buy an Escalade? Seriously, it's not a good idea to put anything other than the stock overall diameter of the tire/wheel combo. What you are asking for could be accomplished with raising the suspension and then recalibrating the speedo and upgrading the braking system. You could be the first with an HHR Donk. :lol: GRUMPEE 10-30-2007, 02:37 PM FYI, Donk's :barf: typically have bigger rims than a 20". IF you look on this site there are a lot of rides with 20's and they're not Donks RUDEINC 10-30-2007, 07:18 PM Buy an Escalade?

Depends if you are lowering the HHR and the offset. Here's my setup. American Racing Rogue Chrome Model: AR-673 20" x 8.5" 5x110 +35 Offset Tires: 235/30/20 Lowered with Eibach Sportline Springs Had to roll the rear fenders just a bit to fit. If you have a 2006 HHR you must roll/trim the rear fenders a lot. If lowered, you can stick with a 225 width tire on a 20" x 8" wheel with the right offset, you'll probably get away with not rolling the rear fenders on a 2007 HHR. crazybob 10-31-2007, 01:09 PM Apparently someone has never heard of plus sizing...... Yes I have. Re-read what I posted. Seriously, it's not a good idea to put anything other than the stock overall diameter of the tire/wheel combo. If you plus size, the overall diameter remains the same. Maybe your definition of plus-sizing is different? crazybob 10-31-2007, 01:12 PM FYI, Donk's :barf: typically have bigger rims than a 20". IF you look on this site there are a lot of rides with 20's and they're not Donks Yes, and those DONKED sedans are larger than an HHR. You would have to "donk out" an HHR to fit a 20" wheel with a significant amount of sidewall as mentioned in the original post. Go back and re-read. It doesn't ask if you can put a 20 under an HHR. I know that you can put 20's under an HHR. Also, did you see the "smiley"? I was making the sugestion somewhat in jest. As far as donks being "barf", they're not my cup of tea either, but isn't it great that we can all like differrent things!! :smile: SIRESMERPH 11-04-2007, 01:22 AM isn't donk that guy from that crocodile dundee movie?:D :D quest51210 11-04-2007, 03:18 AM wheres that SOM HHR thats was lowered on 255/35/20's? crazybob 11-04-2007, 07:46 PM isn't donk that guy from that crocodile dundee movie?:D :D YES!!!! :bow: :lol: |
