External spare
#2
It was discussed here eons ago, but the thread is hiding from me just at the moment.
What it came down to is the lift up hatch on the HHR, and the weight of a spare tire bracket, and the tire/rim combo making for an absolute gut buster of a hatch to open.
Maybe if the hatch was a swing-away design, like the old Jeep Liberty for example, then it would be doable.

Well, you would have to relocate the license plate and the lighting for it. Plus, you would have to drill a bunch of holes in your hatch to mount the brackets for the tire holder.
Seems like a lot of work and money for very minimal results.

And you couldn't see over the spare if you went Landy with the hood spare.

A few years ago a fellow in town here rebuilt a spare tire mount from a Jeep to go on the back of his HHR.
When I asked him about it he said he had bolted heavy angle iron to the trailer hitch to mount the rest of the Jeep spare holder.
He said it was nice to have his spare there but it was a bugger to have to swing it out of the way every time he needed to access the cargo area.
