20s can ride very comfortable depending on the road conditions and tire combo

 

Not the size 20" you can mount on an HHR!

Here's what happens to them on "real" potholes:



If it were me, I'd think twice (or three times!), before going larger than 18's.

(Hey, I'm riding on 17's and loving it....)

Best of luck,

 

Ive had 20s before on rubber bands. Where i live i know the roads very well.

 

I have a 20x8 on my HHR. Not sure of the offset though. I am running a 235-30-r20 and the sidewalls angle in like /------\ on the wheels. Tucson streets are horrible with potholes and I avoid them and know my way around. Even with the very thin tires and being dropped on Goldlines I ride VERY smooth!

 

jason did you have to roll your fenders?

 

Im looking for !---! for tires on my rims and Im hoping a 235/35/30 will be nice and thick with no angles for a 7.5 inch rim.

I did read a how to on how to use the fender roller you can buy or rent. Looks fairly easily.

 

They will work as that's the sz. tire I have. But I tried Eibach & it did not drop the HHR at all, so I had to go with a different set up. Was strange it didn't as I have Eibach on my PT Cruiser and it drop it 1.5 in frt. 2.0 rear. Good luck and hope all works out.

 

I am looking at 20s on mine would anyone know if a 20x7.5 with 35mm offset and a 225/35 r20 would rub?
