Total newb question but what size are the stock tires, rims and what is the bolt pattern for the HHR?

 

The bolt pattern is the same for all models 5-110. What model do you have? That will tell the size of the rim and tire.

 

Glad to see another Canadian HHR here or soon to be. There are only 16 and 17 inch rims for the HHR. Are you looking for after market rims?

 

At this point I'm just doing research into a new vehicle. If/when I do buy one it will be an LT with a stick. Being the gearhead that I am I'm looking for mods even before I own the vehicle.

 

1LT or 2LT? There is a difference in the rim and tire size. 1LTs have 16"s and 2LTs have 17"s. I can't think of the tire size off the top of my head but if I used the search I could tell you.

 

as alot of us did. you won't be unhappy. welcome to the site

 

I had bought the owners manual off ebay before I bought my HHR. Had to get myself famiular with it before I took delivery. Just a personal option.

 

I know, I know, the search button is a newbs best friend.

If this happens I'll be getting it loaded to the..........fill in the blank, except for radio/satrad upgrades so I would assume it would be a 2LT.

TIA.

 

I have a 2LT with 17"s and the factory tire size is 215/50R17.

 

if you get aftermarket rims dont go any bigger than 18s. People who have the 18s on this site and have it lowerd have a little rubbing problems. CrowBar has 20s on his HHR tho. Good luck with rim, and one more thing you can go to tirerack.com and discountedwheelwarehouse for rims. Hope this helps.
