18s by 8.5 these work?
Hello everyone,
I guess 20s arent the way to go for an HHR after all the stuff I have heard about them, I think I would like a little more tire meat on the rims. So I am steping down to 18's once again. I wanted to see your input on these rims if you like them or not, and if you guys/girls have any ideas if they will stick out at all. And if I will have any problems when I lower it with the Eibachs or Goldlines. Thanks for the input.

Well, being a full 2-inches wider than the stock rims, I'd imagine you will need considerable modification to get them to fit without rubbing.
Also, the offset is only 35mm - not good. The stock HHR offset (with a 6.5-inch rims), is +42mm. Most wider rims (17x7 & 18x8), are available in a +45mm offset. The rim you are proposing has less offset then the stock (narrow), wheels and will stick out considerably.
Hope it helps,
