Not according to the Application Guide on their Website... I was just looking at it and looked up wheels for my HHR to see whats available from them... and by the way that Link is good for linking directly to their App Guide for the HHR 17" wheel size.

In a 17x8 with max backspace Slat Flat would have +32 offset. It could work stock height, but really isn't the best fit for the HHR application. It's a vintage custom shop wheel so you can order it however you want within certain constraints. We're a full line American Racing dealer, so if you are interested you can contact us about it.

Hey Jeff,
Thanks for the info. What exactly would be the negitive results of using this wheel on the HHR? Is there another manufactuer with a simular style wheel for the HHR? That wheel just looks like it belongs on there, with the retro style of both HHR and the wheel.

Thanks,
Joe

By decreasing offset you will move the wheels out, this can cause rubbing problems, although you could probably make it work by trimming or rolling the fender lips. I still would not recommend that fitment for anything but stock height.

There are other choices in the same wheels available. Here are a couple options.. first one is a cast wheel in 17x7 for the HHR. We can get these in nearly stock offset...


Second one a billet wheel by Boyd that you can fit on the HHR in 17x7 and 18x7 sizes. This one can be built in factory HHR offset.

Every wheel from Boyd Coddington is built to order. They cost more than the imported cast one piece wheels, but you get something that is built to fit your vehicle and made right here in the USA.
