Anyone make 14-15" smoothies for HHR?

I'd rally like to find a way to go with 70 profile wide whitewall tires. It allows the wite wall to be much wider plus the tiers are FAR less expensive. I dont need high performance low profile tires...this car is not a performacne car to begin with.

to get a 70-series tire, the correct sizes would be:

195/70R15 or 205/70R14

Thoughts?

I have been told that 14" and 15" will not fit on an HHR. If anyone know different please post where they can be purchase. I went from 16 to 17 and now I want to get white walls and there is just not enough room for much white wall. 16 still look great but 15 would really be a lot of white. The white walls that I have priced are $180.00 plus, not cheap.
See ya down the road

15" wheels fit the LS (I have my winter tires on them), but not 14". I'm also told that some HHRs have larger rotors (possibly the SS, don't know about the LT), and 15" wheels definitely would not clear those. The small rotor is 276 mm (that's what I have on the LS) and the large one is around 296 mm or so. My guess is that the HHRs with the large rotors are stuck with the 16" minimum.

Forget 14" for sure; they wouldn't clear the calipers.

Shop for OEM wheels for the Saturn L200 / Saab

Cobalts have 15 inch wheels, don't they?

That's also true. Not sure of the rotor diameter though. Also not really sure why people want small wheels. 17 to 19 inch looks most natural on HHR's and Cobalts.

Those are 16x6.5 and fit the HHR quite well. They're similar to what I have on mine, I have the slotted version, she has the smoothies. They're made by Wheel Vintiques
