Need help. Want to buy HHR

Hey guys, found one LT model and SS on the steering wheel. Seller told me. Haven't seen it yet. What could it be - which engine(2.2 or 2.4), some special things, etc.?
Also, it needs new tires. What size of them fits? 2007 year - some serious problems especially for that year?
Thanks!

Welcome to the site

a 1LT could be either 2.2 or 2.4.
no major problems for 2007.
the steering wheel could be an EBay purchase of a used SS wheel, lotsa members swapped the Cobalt SS steering wheels
tires could be 16, or 17 inch factory rims on the other hand they could be 18 inch SS rims

I think it's 16" - what size it should be(mean the tires) - 215-225/60-70?

The correct tire size will be on the sticker inside of the door frame. The size will depend on the model as to what it should have on it.

I used chevy 1998 - it had no rust at all. I see Dodge only getting rust/rot extremely fast(maybe Chrysler too) - but it's the same factory(GM) - right?
