fogs look great, did the wheel shoip have a lot of options for the HHR when it came to diffrent styles of rims that fit the HHR?

not really i had to get this set specially drilled for this bolt pattern

Look at my thread "Diablo Wheels Work" and tell me if you think I would have any trouble with those.

how did you roll the fenders??

In the past I used a small round wooden bat that about about two inches thick (club basically). I stuck the "hit" end under the wheel well and braced the handle with the tire. Then literally rolled the bat back and forth along the fender lip using the tread edge of the tire as the brace. That will roll it upwards. Just go slow.

whast the stock HHR offset and wheel size meeing width(depth) is it 17x7 and what the offset

i believe its +45mm

so would a Rim 18x7.5 with a 42mm offset work without any problems?

you should be fine

Might Have To Roll The Fenders A Little.

I just got a Email back from diablo and they said that they have the 18x7.5 in a 5-110 bolt pattern and a 45 mm offset, they said I would have no rubbing at all on my HHR, is this true info?
