Goodies on the way

I got my HHR a little over a month ago and I ordered all my goodies the other day. I'm getting the Smoothie Door Lock Knobs, Gold-Line Spring, Camber Kit, Precision Billet - Classic Billet Upper and Lower Grille, and these wheels in 18x8 w/225/40/18.
. I'll be done about the 9th of June. Will post picks then.

Let us know if you had to have your wheel well cut to prevent rubbing.

Yup, some have either cut or rolled the fenders.

You don't have to cut them, but you will need to at least have them rolled. Depending on the offset, they will rub a little or a lot. I had a little rubbing and had them rolled. Worst case scenario is that you're rims are cutting into your tires then you will have to do something asap.

At least you didn't grind the insides down like crowbar. If I ever decided to go the lowered larger rim route and have rubbing issues I'll be joining you.

I let the pro's at discounted wheel warehouse figure that out. They did a pretty good job. I could've drove my HHR the way it was, the rubbing was very little. I drove like that for about a month. But I wanted no rubbing. I had mine rolled and that is what I recommend.
