Ive been searching for a few days now and I cant seem to find what I want. Ill be getting an HHR here this year after some debt is been payed off. I came from Cobaltss.net and had a nice 2.0SS/SC that I had to sell when I bought my new house. :-( Bye bye 13 sec car.

Anyways, lets say I wanted to put 20x8.5 with a 42mm offset on an HHR. What is the largest size tire you can put on there if you werent going to lower it? Im sure if I choose a different offset you could prolly squeeze a little more tire on it but who knows out there?

Searched using the word lowering and then tire size.

Welcome to the site my friend!

I am running 225/30r20 and the side wall isn't straight up and down

That doesnt sound good. I ran 255/35/20 on my xtreme and I loved that size. I hate how the tire bows in.

Try this site. I've posted it before, but I don't believe anyone's paid much attention. You can put in all kinds of specs, and it will show you results.

Is this for a 8.5 inch rim?

yes it is a 8.5 rim

i have 20x8.5 hpracing hpr5's with 245/35/20

Any pics fly? Also, does a 7.5 inch rim make of difference? Maybe could do a not so much wider tire?

We are using a 245/30/20 on a 20x8.5 wheel and you can see how close the top of the tire is to the bottom of the strut. Tire works out fine, no rubbing when turning left to right or under hard cornering. Good luck.

I love your rims, those look sick!
