Have you tried the site that has the wheel visualizer?

Also, you might try our supporting vendors. Truckshop.com might be able to hook you up.

I found these NASCAR wheels on that site. Will these fit my stock 16 inch tires, and will these bolt on my HHR as far as offset and bolt pattern? I was thinking of reworking that center cap with the HHR logo.

Man I like these wheels.

They are the right size and bolt pattern, but the standard offset on the HHR is 42 and those are 38.

That's what I thought Deb, but I didn't know what that meant or how important that would be. I DO NOT want the wheels to rub when turning etc. I'm from the old days when a Chev bolt pattern fit just about any Chevy and you didn't have to worry about anything else. I know manufacturers will promise anything to sell a product and give you hell when you try to return it. I would rather not buy if it isn't perfect.

+38mm offset wheels will "stick out" slightly more than the stockers (7mm to be exact). While that might not seem like much, consider that you will most likely be going to wider tires, which increases the possibility of rubbing. Addittionally, the stock HHR wheels are really only 6.5-inches wide, so going to a real 7-inch rim does make things wider. I recommend going with a +42mm offset on 7.inch wheels and a +45mm offset with 7.5's.

Hope it helps,
