Shoot, 220, mine were with 18s!! Rims are 18 x 8 w/ 40 offset. Tires are 235-40/18. With mine being an early model, I had to roll the upper lip on the rear. No problems in the front. I had posted a pic in the FS thread, too.

Don't get skeered, man, just DO IT!! :one:

The HHR/SS rims are the same as ALL the others as to offset, which is 42 mm. I "think" the width is 7.5". :confused: They shoud be good to go for you!! :thumb:

Got any pics of your ride with the 18s and stock coil setup?

I definately liked the stance with GLs in your sig:thumb: But decided against GL's for mine for fear of bottoming out when it's fully loaded. Even w/leveling springs I'm hesitant until someone can prove it can handle 4 people + packed cargo area without bottoming out.

2008 Solstice OEM 18” Alloy Wheels what tires work best with my lowered springs

I'm running stock 18" SS wheels and 225/45/18 on my 2006 2LT. I have Gold-Line leveling springs and no issues with four adults. Really, how much cargo can you get in the back with four passengers? We have terrible roads with lots of bumps and dips and I have never bottomed out. I can't tell any difference in ride quality and I love the look. Good luck.
